To be Kojima or Refn, you have to be some level of a money-loving shit eater. To make the things they like to make, it requires a lot of money, which means they do a lot of things a serious artist with convictions would never do--which is why they get elevated.

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

The best advice I ever got when I started freelancing was, if you have to turn down work, always suggest someone else who could do it. I have been so lucky to benefit from that over the years.

What if I did an album for all my paper mementos?? I started collecting tickets and flyers for nearly all the events I attended, concerts, plays, exhibitions etc. about twenty years ago. Wanted to try my hand at binding a photo album for a while, this seems close enough

it is time I'm sorry to say for an interval of corrective oppression against beautiful people. only uggos in film and visual media for a while. just enough time for our eyes to readjust. this will be good for the unhappy Hots in fact. look at them. these are not the teeth of content individuals

Working on stuff not worth sharing yet so here’s an old one so you don’t forget I’m an artist and not just an aggrieved poster

🚨InPrnt Scam Alert🚨 There's an InPrnt scam going around (I received it today and was immediately suspicious). It seems to come from a legit InPrnt address, it's very well made, but it is fake. I have confirmed it with the InPrnt staff themselves. Do not click on the "Verify My Account" button.🙏

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

the fundamental misunderstanding of how AI works is so infuriating there are never going to be small in-house LLMs. Anyone who tries needs to buy massive data sets of stolen shit from dubiously legal vendors to make it work even passably. AI is getting worse bc they're being stopped from scraping

lrp orphans and widows... you'd think a war just ended, so many of them

Bookbinding/typesetting is the most Dickensian of hobbies because you find yourself muttering, "It's those blasted orphans again!" on a regular basis.

I strongly believe flawed art with imperfect color theory, perspective, anatomy, etc. will be more highly regarded in the future than "perfect" art, and that will thanks to genAI.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Happy #WorldGothDay! I made a playlist of 100 favorite tracks—2 per year from 1977 to 2026! (The real capital-G stuff starts around '81.) Some iconic tracks, to be sure, but a lot of them are very deep cuts known only to those who were there. All wonderful. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
