Every business genius today is a guy who ascends the marble steps of institutions built on the blood and sweat of the men who came before then, looks down & thinks how much he could earn selling marble gravel. Men who saw off their own knees believing they're tall because they're so good at height.

I'm always grateful for modern innovations in application design, such as infinite-scrolling feeds that slow down and eventually crash if you actually scroll back further than 3 page lengths really pushing the frontiers of usability design

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

We have scientific & easily observable evidence that humanmade climate change is going to devastated the planet. It's already happening. And now all our most powerful leaders are either apathetic, or eagerly trying to spur it on by increasing fossil fuel use and withdrawing from climate commitments.

If you're against the government's proposed AI opt-out system, please fill in this survey by the AOI (Association of Illustrators). It only takes 5-10 mins, and the results will be submitted by the AOI to the government. You don't need to be an AOI member to fill it out either

"fix your hearts or die" is one of the greatest quotes ever said by anyone, in any context and it applies now, more than ever, to far too many people to count

A week ago, I had dinner with a key author of the AI consultation. Not just dinner: I berated them for about 7 hours. In return, they gave me a horrid cough. Which is a fair revenge. Anyway, here's a thread about what I took away from the conversation. These are my inferences, not quotes.

Oh great. So they're burning huge amounts of cash on a stupid investment in a snake oil technology, at a time when every essential public service is being forced to make harsh cuts despite already being badly underfunded. Awesome. So glad. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

midjourney, chatgpt and all that other "AI" slop is realtime climate crisis accelerant. even if you don't give a fuck about creative people, take a look at the fires right now and consider your priorities

Gladiator 2 is OK but man...the Motivational Dead Wife again, huh? Especially since this time the dead wife was much cooler than the actual protagonist

I am very over the Max Verstappen fans who insist that every time Max has pushed someone off the track or wiped them out is "just hard racing, nbd", but whenever Max is mildly inconvenienced they basically riot like he's been sent to actual jail

now that we have up to 48-bit imaging depth, it's time to retire the antiquated time zone format, which only supports 38 different times. It should be replaced with the new time gradient format, in which local time is continuously adjusted by position, down to hundredths of degrees of longitude

Relatable but also: I’d like to talk a little bit about this headline, which is, in my opinion, an example of dysfunction in science reporting today. (Since there’s no alt text, headline reads: “This Black Hole Is Eating So Much Matter that It Defies Known Science”, from 404 Media) 🧵

I'm not happy Trump won, but I'm not surprised Harris lost. Granted as a non-US-voter I'll have missed some of the propaganda, but I can't think of anything specific the Democrats promised to actively do if they won. It was just "we're not Trump!", which is not good enough really.

It's finally here! When a routine flight takes an abnormal turn, a series of small errors causes panic in the cockpit of an Armenian A320 with 113 on board. admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-spiral-o...

I've been rebuilding my portfolio site after moving it off Adobe's increasingly overpriced services. As a bonus from the move, I've finally put together a section for a set of themed commissions that've been my main focus recently. exofuture.graphics/projects/dra...
