This song kicks ass and the video is a real treat if you love movies, too cool.

Before AI, artists used prompts to engage their own imaginations, to plant a seed and run with their own creativity. Now, prompts are something you feed into a machine so it can imagine and create FOR you. Sadly, many people don't see the difference.

I made a papercraft just for this

An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it. From the Penn student paper: www.thedp.com/article/2026...

Oh HELL yes! 🔥 OpenAI is pulling the plug on their AI video generator Sora, and with it goes their deal with Disney to bring AI gen to Disney+. OpenAI seems to be in serious financial trouble, what a shame 🖕

The fever broke already, which is quite the surprise. I think it only lasted a day to a day and a half. Feeling loads better, what a relief.

Spent last night uncontrollably shaking and oscillating between freezing and boiling and wishing I was dead. Took a test today, it's baby's first Covid!

I need you to see my cat.

It took 14 years, but we finally have our RoboCop statue in Detroit 🖤

Okay, nope, I put it on the floor just outside the door of my office, and a sign suddenly fell off my wall while I was in there. Never happened before. I don't believe in this stuff, but hell no. It's face down out on the porch until I can get rid of it. Absolutely not. I'm done.

Okay, so we slept with it up, and I had to take it down this morning because my partner SWEARS she woke up and heard it say it was going to kill her. I think she's full of shit, obviously, so I took it to my office because I'm not ready to throw out $50 after like ONE nightmare or whatever.

Ooooo, that's good.

This was calling to me at an antique store today. I thought it was like a face or a scarab or something at first until... I mean, look. What is this even. I of course bought it, but now I'm pretty sure it's haunted. It echoes and rings in a weird way if you get close to it or talk near it.

I love reading the reviews on some of the sketchy massage places near me. My new favorite is a 1-star review where they complain about it being "all tug and no rub," and how they were sent to the hospital with an injured testicle. My previous fav 1-star also complained about "hammered genitals".

I tried a weird dry pineapple jam cracker thing I found in our cupboard and my first thought was that it tasted just like dog food. But if someone said hey, you can eat only this dog food or only this cracker for a whole year, dog food all day long. With pleasure actually, cause damn, what was that.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

I like to wave at animals. They don't know what I'm doing, but I'm not gonna NOT say hi.

I forgot to update my payment info on my portfolio host a few weeks ago when I got a new card, so when an AI bro went there to insult my work he instead made fun of my site not working, which was inadvertently a huge favor, and now he's even more mad after I thanked him, lol.

My little man is no longer here, but the debt still remains, if you could share this post, or donate anything at all I would be forever grateful. #mutualaid #vetbills #catsky #catsofbluesky #donate #petloss #BennyForever #gofundme

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

They have $600 MILLION to pay for a 16-person AI firm that automates production while artists and filmworkers starve, do I have that right? variety.com/2026/film/ne...

The guy from the OC did his undergrad in economics and has become a prominent critic of cryptocurrency. He made a documentary last year and you should see it.

If Claude Code is so good, why do they need a separate feature to hunt for bugs.

It's interesting to me how gamers can be united on detesting asset flips, but be divided on AI gameslop when it's just asset flipping on steroids. Pick a lane.

I had a dream I escaped a Texas Chain Saw Massacre murder house and made it to a neighboring house right as the sun was going down, only to realize it was abandoned and now it's pitch black and they're coming, and now I want a roguelite game like that, house by house trying to make it to the city.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Fairly well known guy in the 3D and motion graphics space, someone people look up to and listen to, is leaning into AI and straight up told me he won't care about the issues until it affects him personally. How do you even deal with such arrogant narcissists who simply want to exploit others.

It's 2035, I come home from a long day of remote operating a crypto millionaire's jerk off bot and climb into my AI goon pod. I set the dial for 3 days, but I don't connect the nutrient bag and electrolytes to the IV. I splurged for real Hot Pockets and a 2-liter of Baja Blast, things are looking up

Where do you get your AI propaganda? I get mine from the gambling app where you can bet on the size of Joe Rogan's forehead veins when trans people are mentioned.

It's crazy how difficult it is to avoid AI. I bought a supposedly vintage print in a frame last summer from a lady at an event, it wasn't until after I bought it she told me she downloaded it online and it was also AI. Like fuck it all man. I can't even find good puzzles anymore, what are we doing.

The tornados are back everyone!

NEED TO SEE THIS RIGHT NOW.

Make it stick.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about in just implicitly trusting AI and acting like it doesn't hallucinate. If you had to hire an electrician in the first place, what makes you think you're qualified to judge Claude's output to determine if the electrician is wrong?

I want to be an artist, but I don't want to learn how. I want to be a filmmaker, but I don't want to learn how. I want to be a musician, but I don't want to learn how. I want to be a writer, but I don't want to learn how. AI, for those who can't, don't, and won't.

Once AI 'films' start hitting the market, it'll be like the C-list movies you see on DVD at Target with 6 price tags layered over one another as they decrease the price every month hoping someone will buy it until they eventually penny it out and throw it in a dumpster.

Da Vinci to Michelangelo: "In my opinion, running an art competition before burnt sienna is publicly released feels unfair."

I'm gonna make a book before I die. Maybe more than one. Just putting this out in the world to try and hold myself accountable. It's basically worthless, but I'm getting a small amount of dopamine from posting, so that's something.

The Supreme Court has declined to hear a case over AI's copyright eligibility, effectively backing the United States Copyright Office's stance that copyright only applies to human authored works 🔥

I missed it in the theatre, but Predator Badlands, what a fucking awesome movie. It goes so many places I just didn't expect, hot damn was that my jam. Every Dan Trachtenberg Predator project has been better than the last and they're all so good.

I swapped out my mixed media paper for just straight watercolor paper, and I think for the first time in my life I'm actually really vibing with watercolors. I love gouache still, but watercolors are really kind of special once you wrap your head around them.

When I was working in San Francisco, sometimes the light and fog would do this weird dance off the Salesforce tower, it shimmered and shifted as the clouds moved past. I don't think I ever got a video unfortunately.

Do you like war, and being surveilled at all times, and having concentration camps, and state sanctioned murder in the streets, and also you can't afford anything because jobs are going, homelessness is criminalized, and also your air and water and food are polluted? America #1!

I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people OpenAI and Microsoft supplied Israel with AI models to track and kill people in Gaza which led to increased civilian deaths apnews.com/article/isra...
