I have managed living all over Auckland city for over 10 years now without my license. Every time I start to consider finally getting it (for emergencies/convenience) I am overcome with this deep sense of dread that chills my bones and I take it as a sign not to bother

Slowly settling in to my new private tattoo studio space. Plenty of room for more art and trinkets (and plenty of time to tattoo you the rest of the year) #tattoo #kikorangi

This thread is exactly how I feel about genAI. Completely turned off by it on all artistic, intellectual and moral levels. I have no interest in anything it can say or generate. It is anti-human.
AI's best use case will always be scams. It's scamtech, top to bottom. Everything about it is crooked. Its bedrock is theft and its legacy is the destruction of the environment, both physical and virtual.
Even most of its 'legitimate' uses are a form of lying.
"I wrote this."
"I created this."

Please don’t mistake my loathing of AI art for a hatred of shitty-looking things in general. I love stuff that looks shitty. The early films of John Waters? Astonishingly shitty looking. But a real pervert made it look that shitty with his bare hands. That means something in this house.

For the past few years, I’ve been getting tattooed at this awesome studio called Nice Goblins. Spending time there reignited my desire to pursue tattooing seriously.
In 2024, I became a resident artist at Nice Goblins. A dream came true.

One of the best things about working for yourself is that the executives (me) and producers (me) are on the same page with the creatives (me) about things being shit and will just throw out bad ideas anyone (me) has
