Quick character design of an 80s business lady with a cigarette in her hand. Her outfit is pink, her eyes are green, and the background is blue. She is giving a cheeky, seductive look to the viewer.

Illustration of a suburban winter scene. Two kids are outside, leaning against their house in the cold, one of them is smoking. The window on the house indicates a party or gathering of sorts inside, with a glowing Christmas tree on display.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

The Cartoon Network Hotel in Pennsylvania will close down starting on January 1st.

It is actually peak absurdity that we still have people arguing that voters should bend to the positions of their political representatives instead of the other way around.

if you really want to stick it to Disney, and other corporate media giants, become fascinated by things they would never produce, so that they might fade into the background noise of life.

if you have a library card (which all of you should have), you most likely have free (!!!) access to Kanopy aka an underrated, ad free streaming service with a ton of movies + short films

FREE!!! through the library!!! your smart tv most likely as an app for it- mine does!

I’m sure these companies get around it somehow, but man…this feels like a HIPAA violation 😔 you should have control over your health information! It should be a bare minimum!!! I’m sorry you’re going through this

sadly I’ve been exposed to AI pitch decks. “Draw like this, monkey” they scream from washed out “faces” and hollow copy. I’m an asshole when it counts so I reject it with my whole chest, but there’s no surprise AI is popular with the laziest group of people: the managerial class

Brian Merchant @bcmerchant.bsky.social · 21d

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI

Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.
