This sentence dropped me into a rage: “while recognising AI models need to be trained on work such as writing, music and video.” They don’t. There is no “need”. Writing, music and video are created by human beings. Not AI. We DO NOT NEED AI to make these things. Stop feeding AI stolen art.

Attempted my first multi-block moku hanga print. The pigment/water/nori ratio eluded me the first two blocks, but by block 3 I understood it. I did cut some things away that I meant to print, but not bad for a first try.
