"I refuse." This is it. There's no reason we should accept a narrative of an already settled future which marginalizes humans and individual agency. No one wants this. No one asked for it.
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

*vibrates violently holding a degree in interdisciplinary communication and collaboration*

You do not need genAI to communicate your ideas as a non-artist to an artist! A generated image doesn't actually share the key info that needs to passed on AND it discourages fruitful discussion

It's so fascinating, how in a world so preoccupied with systematic eradication of pornography, privacy, immigrant rights, trans people. etc., it is always "[Latest Tech fad] is here to stay, just no point to fight it, let's all embrace it, there's literally no other options."
"It’s time to face reality, AI is here to stay" - Kingdom Come: Deliverance head Daniel Vávra says Larian got a "crazy shitstorm" for doing what "absolutely everyone else is doing", and that while he's "no fan of AI generated art" it's going nowhere.

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

Good news:

Sodium-Ion batteries are now legitimate competition to Lithium-Ion ones. Environmental impact of creation is much better, as is potential cost of production at scale (look, it's based on salt).

Solar is fully ready, but storage has been an issue, and that might be getting solved.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

What the rough sketching process looks like for me. Step 1 draw a face I like, step 2 add other large focal points (horse and fox) step 3 refine those animals and add designs in middle ground, step 4 maybe it’s a unicorn and add horizon line. Fuck AI I love this process, it brings me endless joy
