Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

I'm feeling relieved, but also congested.

i’ve said this before but lemme say it again. it makes absolutely 0 sense to talk about “misuse” of llms because there is no clear use or purpose for llms to begin with. genAI is a purposeless tech floating around looking for uptake 1/

Is September 8th special for some reason? For the last 2wks, every time I try to schedule something my options are: 9/8 or a month wait

Sketching and doodling. Doodling and sketching. [ #sketch #art #oc ]

Was accused of this by a friend 😂 trench coat bunnies unite!

my obsesseion w pachelbels canon in d knows no bounds

been thinking a lot about art. the making of it. the selling of it. the commodification and catharsis of it. how you can do it and never post it. how you should work traditionally to feel that physical inertia bear fruit. how you should draw for other people and yourself because it does something.

I need to clean off my desk. But, now hear me out, I could just put it all in a big pile on the floor.

being a siren would be rlly cool, like youre tellin me i can just sing n my food comes to me?? peak.

you're my melody / in every key #oc #art

you're all on "background or no background." I'm stuck on "do I use a thin lineweight or a thick lineweight."

personal AI fad pet peeve is that I have to clarify that no LLM was used in my shuffle poetry. people now tend to assume any new media or computer-based art now incorporates generative technology...which completely undermines the actual work that's put into the final project

my only advice to artists is: anyone who says "I'd buy that as a print/shirt/sticker/etc" is speaking from a universe where they actually would buy it, and not this universe the artist lives in.

Being a creative right now feels like being attacked with steel rakes every time you open your phone

I love poems that make me fight the program; I love turning on spellcheck and seeing 516 red squiggly lines because the formatting is Too Interesting for the dictionary to comprehend; most of all I love turning it off once I'm sure I've spelled acknowledgments correctly

Incomprehensible sneak peek of the next @pwritersu.com project cover 👀

(everything I know about fonts I learned against my will)

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Tier list of things I know how to draw: Faces = I got this. Anatomy = can wing it with 70% confidence. Folds = fuck it, we ball.

“Wow this playlist is full of bangers!” -me forgetting I literally put on my favorited songs list.

artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably. to those who struggle to continue drawing, you are an artist.

It's getting really annoying how much dystopian cyberpunk fiction is turning out to be far too optimistic.
