It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Today is BACK UP DAY! 💾 Here's your monthly reminder. Make sure your back ups are working. Download your cloud writing and put it somewhere else safe. Make a copy of your procreate files. Back up your website too! Check to make sure your back ups are running and USABLE!

This lil drawing I made for the first TDOR I was out for. So many complicated feelings with today. Hoping you are alive and well today.

happy pride month!

well done, everyone 👏🔨

You made it. Happy Friday!! Wield your whimsy like a weapon, and the fuckery will not seem so frightful. They cannot steal our Joy unless we let them. So live deliciously. 🤘🏼😈

We need more legislation like this

If It Doesn't Exist, MAKE IT. Aka. The motivational bnuy. #originalart

Happy Friday Ferret Squad! Last weekend we raised $220 for food banks! With less than 6 hours left in our FISH-A-THON stream, stay tuned for the final run coming soon!

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

Epstein is just the first domino to fall. Nuremberg Trials 2.0 is coming.

Donate to your local food bank instead.

She was a world champion Space Invaders player, co-founded Interplay and had a resume in the gaming industry that many people would be envious of. RIP, Rebecca Heineman.

TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot. TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

so if every game company uses AI now then what's even the point of the game awards "this award goes to AI #45!" fuck offfff

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

Fred would be sad

"it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed" This. This right here. I'm so, SO tired of having to scrutinize any piece of art that even remotely resembles genAI slop just to determine whether or not it's worth a second thought or any admiration.

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

I mean it from the bottom of my heart, just create for yourself first and then for the five people you keep captive in your basement.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

it's 🏳️‍⚧️ transgender awareness week 🏳️‍⚧️, so : donate to trans support organizations if you can, hire trans people, defend them in public & private spaces when necessary, & just don't be an asshole in general

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

I finished the entire BLOPS 7 campaign, asked for a refund and Valve granted it to me. I wrote: "The game constantly utilized AI generated options that were not present in the marketing for the game as well as videos and screenshots of the material." Shocked they did TBH

TODAYS THE DAY 🐟

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

My most strongly held comics opinion (I hesitate to say "opinion," because it's a fact): lettering should be the first finished thing done, not the last. Done after (or along with) roughs and finalized before pencils. Pencils and inking should be done AROUND the lettering.

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Funny how we all just “have to” accept AI as progress even if it’s janky and either has demonstrated no improvements to productivity or outright tanks it, but we never had to accept remote work despite every study showing it improves productivity AND workers lives. Hmmmmm
