People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

got so excited watching league of legends that i legitimately made the Goofy "YEAH-WOO-HOO-HOO!" noise. i want to be clear this was not a bit, I was not trying to amuse anyone, I was sitting alone watching LCK while my wife paints. so anyway what I'm saying is i'm extremely cool

Finally decided to cold turkey Twitter. It's long since given up any simulacrum of "town square" and has just started racing to the bottom of the cheapest, sleaziest way to hijack the dopamine pathways of your brain.

it's "if you want to cast a shadow, move a mountain." Moorcock articulated the same idea here imo, in a much more citable way, it's just not as damn snappy and memorable.

someone asked on insta what “be brave enough to be kind” means and why i say it on my podcast and at screenings being kind is always a vulnerability - it exposes your belly. love puts us in harm’s way always. we gotta find the courage to risk being hurt. or else i don’t know what the point is.

Here's a simple happiness hack: Do something for someone that is truly altruistic. Do it in secret if you can, and take no credit, if you can manage that in a world that sees everything. Do this as often as your circumstances allow, which may be once a year or once a day. Try it and see.

“Imagine if we truly understand complex whale communication & can extend our term ‘language’ to them. Such breakthroughs would not only rewrite biology textbooks but also fundamentally redefine what it means to be human & pave the way to instituting new protections for whales, the ocean & beyond”🧪

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.
