I’m officially done with takes on AI beginning “Ethical concerns aside…”. No! Stop right there. Ethical concerns front and center. First thing. Let’s get this out of the way and then see if thre is anything left worth talking about. 1/2

This thread is going places.

Wish upon a (red) star - 2025, digital #art

The one where I muse about how this simple bit of code radically changes how the web itself seems to behave… webkit.org/blog/16967/t...

Lord of the Rings film studies with poster color and acrylic gouache I still love this movie very much.

You can tell a technology is good when they have to make propaganda films about it to convince people of its value

I wish browsers would expose their default style choices (colours, borders etc) to CSS so that, when creating a Web Component, I don't have to impose my opinionated, halfway house set of default styles on developers. I'd like to style elements that fit with the native elements, until overridden.

Some #octopus #rodeo and #lighthouse on this thursday, have a good one! #illustration #ink

This artwork by Yoshitaka Amano will journey to the Moon on a coin-sized module (containing hundreds of other drawings, texts, music and datas from Earth), as part of Unesco's first space mission. www.barrelhand.com/post/barrelh...

Trying again to find a suitable Notion alternative. Starting by opening the website of every option I can find, and immediately closing any that mention "AI" in their hero copy.

I'm still chipping away at GRIDHACK, a sci-fi RPG where hacking = fighting Picross battles. I've been working on this one for a long time. Reposts are greatly appreciated. Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3053870/... #GameDev #IndieGame #Picross #Nonogram #Puzzle #SciFi #LowPoly

I've spent *years* researching 3D Platformer Cameras in hopes of making Slime 64's camera "not terrible." In this thread, the White Cylinder is the Camera Target (slightly above the player!), and the Orange Cones represent the "vertical dead zone" where the camera won't follow player movement.

IMO, designs should pass the car crash amnesia test. that is, regardless of the solution, if you were hit by a car today and developed amnesia and then returned to look at your design solution, would you say "okay that makes sense" or would you say "how on earth did we get to this ridiculous solve"?

More than a decade in the making! Cannot believe that the Siege and the Sandfox is actually out! Very excited to play store.steampowered.com/app/653060/T...

I wouldn't be the person I am today and wouldn't have my career without the internet, so the state of it today is upsetting to see. The people with the power to do something about it don't care because it wouldn't make them money and/or they are too old to even understand.

Well, it finally happened. Someone trained an AI on my voice, and used it to generate narration for their YouTube video. Feels pretty bad! Don't like it! I've submitted a privacy complaint with YouTube - hopefully they'll take it down soon.

It must be a really fucking weird feeling to watch a mountain just... explode. Mount Saint Helens erupted on this day 45 years ago. John "Jack" V. Christianson took these photos from Mt. Adams, 54 km to the east, as his friend reacted to the eruption at 8:32 am on 18 May 1980.

yay now the pan + zoom can display all the trade caravans, wandering monsters, etc.

It’s finally happening. We made an App! @orta.io and the rest of the Puzzmo team pulled some programming magic to make this thing work. It’s got improved visuals, sound and haptics, and even has a secret new game inside! Also I’m biased but it’s got the best launch screen on the whole App Store.

constantly lowkey annoyed that we dont have a norm of micro payments for articles. i dont want to make a new account, i dont want another subscription, i want to give you the cost of a cup of bad drip coffee and then i want to read the article. that's it.

The Bard or Return of the Freeloader - final art, colour rough and colour thumbnail. This from Gwelf book 2. Preliminary work continues on book 3. More soon

This Boer/Grok fiasco is funny, but it previews how AI chatbots will be used more subtly to manipulate public opinion. They present decontextualized authority: unsourced, unauthored, always confident. And we are being trained to trust them as objective or as the Wisdom of Crowds.

Pianoteq’s demo has this funny mechanic where it stops working after a while, and you need to spam-click an egg timer to "rewind" it

LOTR - An old lettering experiment I did for Muti a good couple of years ago.

I ILLUSTRATED A REINER KNIZIA GAME! I can finally say it! The new @allplay.bsky.social kickstarter is running NOW! Link in thread! #boardgames #illustration

as an anthropologist specialising in propaganda, power, social control, rebellion, revolution and war, in 2017 i wrote a primer on what propaganda is, how it works & how it's weaponised in the digital age read it here: chantalryan.medium.com/the-propagan... some excerpts below:
