“Man in the Moon,” watercolor- one of my first (and still a favorite) haunted house pieces.

Watercolor illustration of a dark old house and tree silhouetted against an orange sky, with a giant moon above. A ghostly screaming skull appears in the moon.

Vampire Step-Dad wouldn't exist like it does without social media, and it's been such a hugely important part of my life.

I've been thinking a lot about how that will change as each service becomes less tenable for me.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

My sadness when I learn there are no Solarbabies gifs available...

This morning:

Teacher, to me: "Do the moonwalk"

Me: *does the moonwalk*

Teacher: Yeah, I could tell by looking at you that you could moonwalk.

(This makes me strangely proud.)

I say this with lots of love for humanity, but there are already millions of (mostly) functioning adults that offload all their cognitive functions to others.

Think about the co-worker that never googles anything, or asks the same question a dozen times, the willfully ignorant.

They'll survive.

i think we are going to find out at some point these guys invented cocaine 2 and have been on it all along
Buried in Altman's post is the real story: "People are generating much more than we expected per user," using massive compute resources on content that's often being generated for very small audiences (it is, after all, a social media app). OpenAl will "have to somehow make money for video generation," Altman wrote. Translation: Sora is burning through compute costs with no offsetting revenue.
Altman floated a potential solution: "We are going to try sharing some of this revenue with rightsholders who want their characters generated by users." The idea-perhaps similar to You Tube's ad-monetization program for videos that include copyrighted material
-would give studios a financial incentive to opt in.
"The exact model will take some trial and error to figure out," Altman acknowledged, "but we plan to start very soon."

Bot or not, anyone who's bio says stuff about Twitter is probably not any fun to follow.

Or a list of people they don't like, or a bunch of "🚫" icons next to acronyms...

These are all big red flags. Even if I agree...you don't need to make it your bio...

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
