A little trip down memory lane to explain what we're all about. When I first had the idea of 42 Fold Studio, I automatically called @lianakangas.com to tell them all about it, and we realized that we both had this desire to help fellow human creatives & collaborate with them in the age of AI. 🧵1/

As someone who's both, the same goes for artists who use gen AI to write their newsletters. There is strength (and moral consistency) in solidarity

Felt like this goes hand in hand with my latest post actually😌

I’m amazed at some authors complaining about AI for writing but then using it for art🙃 HIRE REAL ARTISTS!! We’re all in this together ffs!

“You’re lucky I have an interest in being here or else I wouldn’t bother with losers like you” - literally dialogue I wrote for her last night

just got added to this blocklist by some guy having a crash out over the cola vid lol bunch of other artists on there too, so good reminder for y’all to be careful what lists you sub to. personally I unsubbed from most of them except ai mod bc people can’t be trusted/there’s too many troll ones

Shop small!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

A transphobic lesbian author you may want to avoid

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz will reportedly return for a new 'The Mummy' movie (via THR)

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works. I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Facial recognition + bad data protection structures + "AI" that regularly gets behavioral prediction very badly wrong + glaring holes in tech regulations & privacy laws + a stunning & nakedly bigoted authoritarian regime= a threat surface, a bottleneck, & an arm of oppressive state control, all in 1

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

GUILLERMO, MY HERO, A GOOD DUDE, A TRUE ARTIST we love YOUUUUUUU 🫶 Now please direct a Belladonna adaptation, yes yes??

fuckin YIKES

I work in the tech industry, specifically human-AI interaction. The personal data they collect from you is worth more than your out-of-pocket expense for that "smart" mattress, home assistant, security camera, dishwasher, etc.

Futurama already did this.

There are lots of tools out there to help you migrate your play lists from Spotify to just about any other streaming service. The time to ditch Spotify is now.

A lot of people seem to think there will be a cure for them if they get Long COVID. There will not be. Mask up.

we are in a self-awareness crisis
