New year, new inspirations, people... #speculativeevolution #book

Biggest technological revolution in our lifetime and it's not AI:

"I Contain Multitudes" This digitally painted piece honors coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our cities and the wilderness today. The thread gives descriptions of all the extinct organisms shown in this piece (not to scale)

#PaleoAgainstAI Some museums/institutions (and even artists like Damir G Martin) sometimes place manually-drawn/modelled creatures in an AI-generated environment. At first glance it may appear to be an okay decision, but is it? Short answer: NO. (1/10)

it appears plagiorizer William Toosey tries his shit again, that's my Propalorchestes in his "Journey through the Cenozoic". I suspect this is just the tip of it. Many of these are just other people's work with a new texture slapped on top. Lots of JRC art here.

Look what came in the mail today! So excited. #dinosaurs #biology

The earth has reached its first catastrophic tipping point linked to greenhouse gas emissions, with warm water coral reefs now facing a long-term decline and risking the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people, according to a new report. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If you’re having a bad day, just remember that John Sibbick’s trunked Diplodocus is out there somewhere, and he believes in you.

Here’s a decent-looking book that unfortunately includes a lot of copied art, including some by @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social, @meganjacobspalaeo.bsky.social, @lacerdajulio.bsky.social, and others. dinodadreviews.com/2025/10/10/h...
