AI is such a perfect distillation of capitalism: a massive dedication of resources to make and maintain a product that no one needs, prompting companies to desperately try to create demand they can then supply, ultimately deteriorating our ability to think, create, or explore.

Another #watercolor done, of a shophouse, in a different tiny book. This one approximately 5 by 3 inches or 14 by 8cm. I've joined #urbansketchers years ago but usually worked larger. Smaller seems to be more fun #smol #art

I packed the tiny paint set and tiny watercolor book so it was time to use them #vacay #art #sketch #smol

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

We do not support gen AI in the book, art and music communities. Ever. It has no place amongst human expression. It’s soulless, it’s theft and it’s damaging the planet. If you use it knowing that, you have betrayed your fellow humans, and I want nothing to do with you.

It's my off day and I'm STILL chipping away at this mixed media piece on watercolor canvas. Maybe it's going to take another month... #wip #art #painting #fantasyart

The feels I got yesterday when a 7yo proudly recited the planets in the solar system from innermost to outermost and stopped right after Neptune. My GenX heart howled in indignation

Haven't done #craft markets or shop consignments since Covid but recently found a shop near my day job that was happy to carry my #crystal bracelets for me. Yeah I don't do purist single-gemstone bracelets. I need mine to be magical riots #jewelry

In my experience using LLM tools (it's "encouraged" where I work), what stands out to me the most about it is that it never says "I don't know". It ALWAYS has an answer for everything, and just like humans that act like that, what it says is never trustworthy .

"why doesn't Bluesky have its own Grok" well because the human users already bring up completely unrelated human rights atrocities in your mentions for no reason

Finally managed to get all the images to display consistently on this page I created for all my portrait-oriented ACEOs: www.janetchui.com/aceos/ #ACEO #painting #art #fantasyart Along the way I figured out why my #Wordpress theme struggled to scale images. Anyway, here are 2 favorites:

Does anyone remember ACEOs? They were from when people were collecting 3.5 by 2.5-inch original pieces of art from artists. Maybe I should do those again, because they were not daunting to start. #art #artsky #ACEO #watercolor #painting

Oh yeah, I'm a #finchapp user and I might have added one or two people I saw sharing their friend code on BlueSky. Here's my birb (stand back, spellcheck) in their Redwall getup for May the 4th. Tap the link to add me as a friend, or add my friend code PSLH4CGELZ. app.befinch.com/share/YcqvJ

Anyone ever scan #art work with glitter or metallic pigments as opposed to photographing it? Which is better?

It's still #mermay and I remember this ooold series (check the copyright year) of 5x7in #watercolor paintings of "life-sized" freshwater fae/merfolk I did. Sold the originals. Had the idea to create a collector's book of images but didn't believe it would go anywhere #illustration #traditionalart

Never used those apps and not gonna start. "You can do hard things" is absolutely incompatible with "here, let algorithms hallucinate answers for you while destroying the planet". This shouldn't be acceptable from young learning people or adults, who are, I dunno, paid to do the actual work?
