Het essay is wat dat betreft voor mezelf ook een pijnlijke confrontatie. Ook ik verkeerde bijvoorbeeld in de veronderstelling dat regulering van internet voorkomen moest worden. Dat er uit al die vrijheid vanzelf iets moois zou ontstaan.

I’m guessing there’s going to be a lot of wild speculation, so please remember:
[BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK] 1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong. 2. Don't trust anonymous sources. 3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information. 4. There's almost never a second shooter. 5. Pay attention to the language the media uses. • "We are getting reports"... could mean anything. • "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't have it. • "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb. 6. Look for news outlets close to the incident. 7. Compare multiple sources. 8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers. 9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you. ON [THE MEDIA]

You know what makes me utterly sad: walking over a christmas market and see real artists now need to put up signs saying "HANDMADE, NOT AI" and feeling the need to lower their prices because of all the cheap AI-slob sold as art two stalls over.

It also makes me furious
and worried...
And sad

Fuck GenAI.
Especially because it does real harm in the real world. And I'm not talking about the huge amount of energy or abuse of trainers this time.

Use AI for something useful like finding a solution for climate change or something.

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Because I didn't have much time in October, I was only able to finish a few, but I have most of the sketches. I like working on the prompts, so we're now in the finishember months.

Text: 10 sweep In dragon boat racing, the one steering the boat is named the sweep. The pole the sweep uses to keep the boat on course is also named a sweep. Illustration of two dragon boats. The one in the front shows the back of the boat with the sweep and two rowers. The one in the back only shows the front with the dragon and the drummer. Topright corner shows a chinese dragon head

When you have this experimental piece stuck to the door of your workroom because you don't know what to do next with it, AND you need to lock up the cat for the night and she get bored/wants out...

I guess it's an even bigger experimental piece now ....

Early Sunday morning at the #hsfcon. Seven people were awake enough to help build our own #HSF-CON spacecity.

Each person brought their own unique style, just like all the different species in #Valerian that build Alpha.

It was quick and dirty, but I love the result!

Thanks everbody

I know these franchises are often pitched as rivals but, like many, I love them both. But to be honest, for me, the Millennium Falcon doesn't have a rival. In all it's roughness, it just might be my favorite spaceship of all time.#inktober #inktober2025 #ink #art #day20 #rivals #startrek #starwars
