a lot more cars in the apt parking lots than usual. people are staying home due to the smoke. it was clear yesterday but the whims of the wind brought the pollution back~

Here’s a PSA for people like me who were raised not to waste food (perhaps rather aggressively) we are now dealing with an unreliable food safety system in the US. If something tastes weird or funny or off IN ANY WAY just throw it away.

gonna start talking like this to my boss

Oh this really sucks. Stay vigilant and watch out for this AI hideousness everyone!

the sky is a uniform gray-orange and there's a blue haze. the sunlight is orange and muted. Canadian fire season again. stay safe, all. don't breathe your vitamins and minerals

Just in time honestly

The thing about being ruled by a gerontocracy is that cohort mortality is a probability density, meaning all these fuckers start dying around the same time -- in clusters. The same Weibull Distribution "bathtub curve" explains why batches of light bulbs and hard drives all die in the same month.

Meta is a staunchly anti-art, anti-artist company and has been showing you this for years with basically every product decision it has made with Instagram, and yet so many professional creative industries continue to rely on it. Spread the word on their latest attack on artists ⬇️

Had some time earlier today whilst waiting for Halfords to come replace my dead car battery. Was a good distraction from the unexpected expense lol. I love how vivid these pastels are. I've been dying to play and experiment once some projects were out the way. #Transformers #softpastels

ko-fi.com/s/ecfc8001f5 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ if anyone wants an embroidered pride pokeball patch....... Bear in mind, there's no tracking for the shipping as it's sent in a regular letter envelope.

I hate this myth so fucking much because it started after a study specifically to see if brains developed after 18. So they limited the study to age 25. And people decided that meant brains develop only until 25 even though a later study with no age limit showed brains NEVER stop developing.

Awesome!! Congrats to Paul and Chris and everyone on the Murderbot cast and crew!!!

UK folks, let's jump on this AI regulation petition the Society of Authors emailed out! It's an actual parliament one so the government HAS to respond if it reaches the signature threshold. It calls for regulations to make AI developers disclose copyrighted works trained on. Sign & repost!! ❤️

If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.

It's such a perfect day, because I finally got out this one episode people have been asking for forever: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp5P...

WHOOPS

Heads up for any artists/writers/etc currently using Linktree to point people to their work: from 5 July they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E.

Trained on fan fic lmfaoooo

if you're feeling down about genAI please remember that it is a) intensely unpopular b) immensely unprofitable c) being propped up by people who NEED it to succeed, will spend any amount to create an illusion of a win but still keep failing and leaving the people they work with caked in shit

me: I am deeply, ethically opposed to the use of AI boss's boss: I know you are. We'll get through it.

Saw too many upsetting posts about AI today. I think I need to say something with words. A little thread. I painted this piece “The Spark” back when genAI just started to become a thing - I wanted to explore the question “Why do we create?” 1/

I think if I didn't know English and I saw the word "assesses" I would lose my mind

Topical.

AI is inevitable. That's why we're sneaking it into everything, hiding it in hard to find and turn off places, forcing it into products that don't need it, suddenly claiming old things we've always done is now done with AI. Because it's inevitable. You don't need to do all that when things aren't.

since the stupid system didn't crash and die, today I had to use AI for the stupid project and it was assssss random Russian and Arabic in the responses? present interpretations instead of verbatim copying, despite explicit instructions? present

@mylaxan.bsky.social Happy Birthday!!! May you have a wonderful year!! 🎉🎉❤️❤️

It would be of great help to share please! Today is my birthday, sharing would be the best gift 🎁

Funny how two+ years in and we're not hearing about all the massive success stories AI must be responsible for by now

any day now, please. tomorrow would be good. please. asap please. please explode and die

@snowiiarts.bsky.social The comics arrived!! (that was fast!) The art is so cute! Thank you 🥰❄️⭐️

Always worth remembering: ChatGPT isn't a tool, it isn't a companion. It's a product -- and everything you type in that box is data you are sending to OpenAI.

I will never stop talking about this: The lovely and profound "If we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known" is from an NYT article about the author accidentally being CC'd on an email where his friends were making fun of him for renting goats.

making a vision into reality... cookies and cream cosmic brownie ice cream sandwiches!! also they totally shrinkflation'd the brownies :( they used to be bigger inside the plastic sleeve

Google again tells us who they are: a company that treats user consent as an obstacle, and data as theirs to use as they see fit. This is the logical endpoint of Google’s monopoly. So PSA writers (and everyone else) - don’t entrust your work to big tech. shorturl.at/f5EYn

How I feel every time I think about Comixology

Just a reminder that Blambot's Indie License allows small press comic creators to use Blambot's indie fonts (those marked with a $0 option) for free even if you make money with your comic or merch directly related to your comic. More info: blambot.com/pages/licenses
