These are largely freelance and precarious workers, and the further erosion of their income and working conditions might not show up in macroeconomic data. But we must consider how artists are losing meaningful income and support to automated systems that have, cruelly, been trained on their work.

The Flanderization of ghibli in the public mind is just so insane to me. Acting like it’s entirely wholesome and cutesy but is really overtly anti capitalist, depict the horrors of war and environmental decline, and have TONS of body horror and depictions of death and disease. it legit annoys me

art is insane. think about a movie or song or painting you love and how many strong, individual choices had to be made to make it that thing?? without messing it up completely?? Absurd. It’s an absurdity that it exists!!

thank you to everyone who stopped by my poster 🥹🙏🏽

the labor of art is mostly invisible. what you don't see in a finished piece is all the hours of thought it required, all the little discoveries and surprises and tragedies of production. art IS the process. if you aren't interested in the process, then i don't really know why you want to be artist

omg I finally saw one: a Tesla leaving Dartmouth campus with duct tape covering the front and back logos LMAO

I have made CHEESE BOYS

One bright side to being forced to live in an AI slop tornado is now I see my artistic mistakes as incredibly endearing. The human machine of my body made that weird line. My worst day of drawing is completely untouchably better than anything AI will ever produce until the heat death of the universe

If you using Studio Ghibli AI ChatGPT—Miyazaki should personally get to hunt you for sport.

Ok on a serious note one of the reasons science is so unwelcoming to people who are socialized not to be egotistical pricks is that many scientists constantly question others competence Like instead of saying “I don’t understand, can you explain?” during a talk they say, “that doesn’t make sense.”
