i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results
that human element elevates the work

Who needs AI when we had stuff like this? I’ll take photoshop edits over the slop any day

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

the faux-AI evangelists see the artistic process as a race to get to a finished product, instead of something valuable in itself. the process is where you develop those skills you don't have yet, it cannot be skipped, it is where the art happens
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

The problem is not having ideas. The problem is that billionaires, are sitting like dragons on gold, on the stolen wealth of ordinary people's efforts - leaving them no time or energy to sit, work through, refine, and implement their ideas into books, music, film, and visual art.

So, obviously everyone's clowning on this article, which I will not post (they love hate clicks more than anything, don't fall for it), but here's my question: Who's "we"?
Ideas--even good ideas--are cheap. I already have more ideas for books than I will ever be able to write.

With this piece of bread on the ground in Ottawa, Canada and the one below in Perth, Australia, @drstip.bsky.social and I have successfully created an Earth sandwich.
The hot dog vs sandwich debate is concluded.
If the Earth is sandwiched, everything is a sandwich.

Don't write "women" or "men" characters. Write kreaturs. We are all kreaturs, skittering & wet, malformed abominations arisen from the primordial soup. Pure physics twisted not merely into unholy chemistry but abhorrent biology. Flesh and blood and desperate bone, calcium aching to return to stone

It's infuriating beyond reason seeing so many people that are otherwise anti-fascist or leftist be extremely puritanical towards anything remotely NSFW.
Labeling everyone with even a little bit of a libido a degenerate gooner 100% helps fascist censorship.

Alright, hear me out: cozy wargames.
All the fun of gluing tiny parts to plastic models and then painting them, but with 98% less Catholicism.
I really feel like this is an untapped market.
