More than a year in this has mostly gone as I feared, and in some ways has been worse. But there have been two contrasting surprises: -- The speed and breadth of institutional capitulation -- The courage, ferocity, and resolution of regular people Our strength isn't our institutions. It's us.

everything reminds me of her

Commission for @princesskira.bsky.social "Instacat Delivery"

no longer content to just take your money, a handful of oligarchs, many of them immigrants to these shores, are now taking whats left of your freedom and political power. the very idea that you might have a say in your local government or sit unmolested in your home is offensive to them

Film you've seen more than six times. Hard Mode: No Stars (Wars or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel

Post blue art!

and i love sketching hot fat girls.

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

Haven't done a speed painting in a bit, so I thought I'd fix that with tonight's model being the lovely @princesskira.bsky.social

This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want. It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.

the same people that thought reposting homophobic memes of trump and putin was going to win the election, are the same ones thinking Gavin doing AI slop of Trump's OC is a winning strategy

the script for this iran war drumbeat is EXACTLY the same as the runup to iraq. ive heard almost verbatim "with us or against us" and "the smoking gun will be a mushroom cloud." neocon deep state stays winning

Yup. I continue to say that AI is for those who fetishize THE IDEA and dismiss THE WORK. It's for those people who come up to writers and say, "I got a great idea for a book, I'll give it to you, you write it, and we'll split the profits 50/50," as if the idea is the hardest and most important part.

the internet as it used to exist helped teach me how to think. i had to evaluate the things i read rather than trust the first search result to be correct. but if stuff was wrong, it was wrong for logical reasons (bias, incomplete info, etc.) as opposed to plausible-sounding but meaningless bullshit

(3/3) as this inaccurate slop continues to flood the zone with bullshit, actual reliable (and even semi-reliable) sources will continue to get crowded out online, making search results worse. it’s essentially a pollutant, and the more of it enters the stream, the harder it will become to filter out

(2/3) …and when they are unable to do so, they confidently manufacture information that is complete bullshit and present it as factual, often citing equally imaginary sources. this is not a bug—it is the technology working as designed to create a false appearance of reasoning.

(1/3) setting the practical questions about climate and power consumption aside, i think it’s creating an epistemic nightmare. having accurate knowledge requires consistent, reliable sources. LLMs are incapable of accurately and consistently sourcing accurate information from primary sources…
