All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

Increasingly tech is seeking to solve for the problem "humans exist," which is what you'd expect to see in a system where humans are seen as a cost and not a value.
“Humans get tired; some days are better than others. The AI does not get tired. It doesn’t get grumpy. It doesn’t have a bad day. The AI is consistent,” says Juan Espinoza, vice provost” demonstrating that humans can be profoundly ignorant and make vibe-based decisions.

Judging from the quotes in here, university admins are some of the least “ai literate” people in existence. No wonder they think students need to be taught how to use it.

Remaining politically unbiased requires staying neutral on matters like evidence, relevant past behavior, clear patterns, obvious lies, and observable truth, which is worth remembering whenever somebody starts complaining about political bias.

🧵 Understand WHY you're posting your art.
📈If it's for numbers/gratification: You do you, hop on trends, but understand some creators won't want to engage with you because of differences in goals.
💰If it's for income: use metrics to gauge your MARKETING skills, not your value as an artist.

Random talk here:
I've been asked before by newer/younger artists about how to get popular or meet other artists.
My answer is "please do not make popularity your focus when creating art." It's going to leave you frustrated and feeling empty when you create artwork. It'll suck the fun out of it.

I would rather have a world where we all trust each other and accept that a few people will take advantage of it than a world where folks have to perform disability constantly in order to get the help they need. Let kids have an extra 30 minutes on the test, jesus fucking christ

As an animator, it's probably "Can you design me a tattoo?"
*Can* I? Yes. Will I? Not unless I really like you.

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!
