stealing paintings from museums will soon be considered just another tool in the artist's toolbelt

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Sure, your toddler watches My Neighbour Totoro a couple hundred times, and gets an innate sense of wonder and appreciation for the slower things in life, but you also get to fish acorns out of the laundry that they pick up everywhere.

“Fuck AI” — Guillermo del Toro 🎥 Vanity Fair

Proud of you, gang

I might just go to the Castle Rat show alone, if none of my friends are able to go. The realm needs me!

But I don't *want* to switch to Windows 11, it sucks 😞

I am convinced that Microsoft is run by people who do not interact with digital devices. Somebody holds up a computer and uses it for Satya Nadella, he just sits and scratches his chin and says “make it do more”

Don’t make me tap the sign.

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer. Not one. To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

What if corporations talked about other things we don't want the same way they talk about AI? "Poisonous mushrooms are here to stay, so here's 10 delicious poisonous mushroom recipes!" "Mosquitoes are here to stay, so our new line of laptops are filled with live mosquitoes!"

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment. An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action. A disinformation machine as our journalism fails. A bias machine as fascism takes root. A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

None of my IRL friends made the jump to Blooski so you guys get a sneak peek of my Halloween costume. Made from EVA foam, LED tea lights, and decorative moss! #art #cosplay

Jared Leto, my boy, you've done it again!

"we cant uninvent ai" no we cant but we couldnt uninvent nfts either and nobody gives a fuck about them anymore

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Shout this from the fucking rooftops, people!! #fuckAI

Our useless Belgian government did this to evening schools — they quadrupled tuition costs for every course they deemed "a hobby": any language that isn't Dutch, any skill that isn't "useful" or a bottleneck profession. Registrations have cratered.

I just watched an immaculately animated King Kong death scene and I'm emotionally Not Okay, so now you have to share in my pain. youtube.com/watch?v=Fe4h...

Oh man, am I glad I switched to Deezer. (And Pocket Casts for podcasts!)

Oh hey, it's that time of year again for Gobelins students to stunt on us all with immaculately animated shorts! Godspeed, you talented Frenchies.

"but that is not the story" i have so much respect for this brave young woman

AI is the new aesthetic of fascism

Oh great, Google is replacing Assistant with Gemini in everything, so I'll have to throw away my kitchen smart device. Who needs to easily listen to the radio or set timers if you can get the dumbass robot to boil a lake and then advise me to put glue on my pizza instead?

they're calling her "the coolest person who has ever been alive"

actually our AI programs are like people so its racist to say you don't like them. anyway would you like to buy one

I have that same shirt and I've never felt more validated in a purchase.

Man, I'm glad I caught that one Castle Rat show in Antwerp this year, because now they keep getting booked on festivals where I don't know a single other band on the line-up 🥹

that's what I'm sayin!

I've heard countless folks say "I can't even draw a stick figure" and let me tell you, that squiggly hand-drawn line will always have more heart and expression than any AI art could ever have.

That virginity sentence should be enough to put you on a list

SHAW!!

RIP Renato Casaro, an Italian artist known for his film posters. He passed away yesterday at the age of 89.

I don't know how many times this needs to be posted, but clearly it is MANY TIMES. Sigh.

The local pizza place put up an obviously AI-generated, piss-tinted poster of a pizza. Because if there's one thing a pizza restaurant doesn't have access to, it's pictures of fucking pizza.

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge
