Choosing to monetise your hobbies is one thing and being forced to commodify yourself and every part of your life is another. Personally I don’t want to be a brand, I want to be a human and an artist.

I don’t want to live in a world where people are in jail and barred from work for smoking weed but an unelected man actively abusing ketamine faces no repercussions for illegally seizing all of our data and making decisions that kill hundreds of thousands of people

instagram please let us turn off comment like notifications, it's such a transparent piece of shit design to boost your numbers of how often people use the app even though they're just going in there to empty their inane notification count

ngl this makes me think of the people who talk about how they saw fox news & co warp their parents into unrecognisably cruel strangers. sure, some of these ppl might be co-opting an alt look, but it's just as likely they've been there the whole time, just aren't as decent as they once might've been

Are you a Blender/3D artist? I'm looking to commission some 3D work for TrueRef! We want to try out creating 3D rooms that 2D artists can then use as references. Think light and airy anime-style living space. Feel free to contact me here or through trueref.io if interested! Paid of course.

There is no benefits to AI in my coffee maker, and no matter what you do, there never will be benefits to AI in my coffee maker. Hope this helps.

It's so funny because a lot of these things are not "AI", just automation that usually already existed and they rebranded it for more $ to say it gives you more value. Now they're gonna have to admit they lied, or remove functionality and put prices back down.

I follow a blind woman on social media, and she talks a lot about how much she hates "smart" products. Not only do they often ditch buttons she can easily feel for flat, glass touchscreens, but when she loses wifi, suddenly, she can't turn on the stove. Gimme dumb appliances any day.

look, I don’t have much positive to say about jobs right now. but growing your creative skills is never a waste. in a world that prioritizes “good enough for non-experts” and the simulacra of competence, growing a practice of critical and artistic thought helps you from sliding down into the muck.

Meet Bruce (Lee), my resident blackbird. At the moment, he is honouring his name by spin-kick-pecking any pigeon that dares approach the nest where he and his partner Daisy have just welcomed three tiny peeps. Might have to make him a cute paper hat 🤔 #birdwatching #paperart

Considering putting some originals back in my shop, as one-off pieces, either frames or ready to frame (they would come with the mount, as shown here). Will keep you posted if I do come around to it! #SciArt #PaperArt

One year already since I created “La Brea Bouquet”… and it found a home at once. 🥲 Prints of it are still available in two sizes, plus some sister pieces in my fossils and flowers line of paper art originals! #darkacademia #fossil #paleoart #artsky #paperart #megafauna

Let's be entirely clear here. AI companies have broken copyright laws and infringed on Intellectual Property rights on an industrial scale. Why are governments looking to make that retroactively legal? Screw their machines for mass-produced plagiarism. Let generative AI die.

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 .

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money. Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment. Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.
