This is really the heart of the matter - the burning core of our chaotic now

Not only do I love this rag - and this short story by Ha is a Gem - but they also have Super Awesome Illustrators in their Gallery ---> clarkesworldmagazine.com/artgallery/

"People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think." Aldous Leonard Huxley

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Ton618 for the Win! I thought Uy Scuti was the largest star - but now it's Stephenson 2-18 so then I was wondering how it compares to the largest known blackhole --- we're talking just radius not mass here --- lololols it's soooo not even close #spacestuff #ton618 www.tiktok.com/@universe_no...

OMG ! The stuff that dreams are made of .........

Coffee versus Tea #oilpainting #art

No idea why these wondrous illos put that old Roxy Music tune 'Love is the drug' straight up into my brain - But They Do - Happy V Day xo!

omg i love Everything About This !

Make Art (1/4)

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.

This was my first attempt at lipsync in #animate made many years ago and it's still one of my favorite things I did in school. #fuckai #fuckice #adobeanimate

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Please please please stop using AI, stop using ChatGPT, stop using this fascist-funding, data-farming, environment-killing, plagiarism-fueling, illiteracy-encouraging utter *garbage*. Stop. My god. Just stop! How do you reconcile this in your hearts? STOP.

I've Never had an Amazon Account -and yet- I still have a comfortable existence ! Consider every dollar spent on amazon as an Actual Yes Vote for whateverthefuckthatfascistshitbezos is doing

Btw, if you post a cutesy ai caricature of yourself, you’re announcing to any artist friends you have that you don’t give a shit about them. 🤘

Well Well Well - What have we here???   Methinks someone got their hind-quarters handed to themselves on a platter after said nether-regions were absolutely roasted and slapped about thousands and thousands of art-folks and studios ;D  plus their stock tanked - so yeah www.reddit.com/r/adobeanima...

holy Cows this is Awesome !!! And Sooooooooooooo Fucking True !!

The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The first time a city's population has ever been nominated. www.newsweek.com/minneapolis-...

i hope a class action suit from the studios is in the offing! we were deep in animate for a short i worked on last year. Animate has it's problems but i know it fairly well & love being in its wierd little groove. #animate #adobeanimate #adobe in the mean time here's a petition c.org/WRVRyJTXP8

wish I still had cs6 on an air-gapped machine!!! I don't mind sneaker-netting at all. I know folks may not understand why #animate has a special place - for some of us it was our intro to making our first animations. the tiny studio i gig for used it just last year on an animated short! #fuckadobe

I keep seeing the “reminder don’t use Adobe here are the alternatives” image going around and folks, the problem is not just that Adobe sucks, the problem is they’re blocking legal access to decades of art files utilized by individuals and entire teams

I’m scared for the younger generations. they’ve already been robbed of so many things that develop important parts of the brain. in the future the ones “left behind” are going to be the ones who can’t do anything without using ai

I've been posting about this for a long time. Time to raise awareness again: the SAVE Act would disenfranchise tens of millions of American women (including myself) whose legal names do not match the names on their birth certificates. Lawyers say a Real ID DL wouldn't suffice to be able to vote.

Stunning words by Michael Dubois.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

With the execution of Alex Pretti, the lines have been clearly drawn. Defenders of the killing will be defenders of state terror, through and through. Benefactors and enablers of the state carrying out this killing—particularly those in Silicon Valley—must decide which side they are on

I grew up in New Hampshire where we're inordinately proud of our state's motto. But the full quote is: "Live free or die. Death is not the worst of evils." The full phrase was coined by Gen. John Stark in a letter to the volunteers of the Battle of Bennington. The final passages feel relevant now.

Do what you can to resist. But take care of yourself and your loved ones also. Look out for the other good people around you. But be wary about who you trust, where you go and what you do. We are all being traumatized by the very people entrusted to serve and protect us as a nation and community.

Genuinely just broke down in tears while reading about how ICE detained an actual five year old boy. His name is Liam Ramos. Fuck ICE. There isn't a fiery pit deep or hot enough for every single one of these heartless monsters to eternally burn in.

I have hope for the future! This lovely human has done us all a good deed <3

ooooh this little guy is so cool !!

I moved over to waterfox but You'all Should Totally CheckThisAiSlopChecker out! I am going to test it out and have it jump all over that horrible edge thing i can't get rid of - just to see it do it's thing - should be FUN !

And AI centers are guzzling down public water--millions of gallons a day--for private profit. news.wfsu.org/state-news/2... and www.eesi.org/articles/vie... And in some places they're trying to hide how much water it is. www.abc4.com/news/politic...

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

CONTINUE TELLING EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT AI IS THE STUPIDEST SHIT EVER IT IS WORKING CONTINUE TO MAKE ART YOURSELF CONTINUE TO WRITE THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING ALIVE IS TO CREATE COOL SHIT AI STRIPS US OF THE POINT OF BEING HUMAN

Heyup! If you've got UBlockOrigin & you SuperHate the 'ai mode' link on the googlesearch page > right click on it go down to 'Block Element' then click the Create button -May have to do it 5-6 times in a row but that's what I did and that little piece of trashytheftslopshit is No Longer Visible!!!!!

omg - I also didn't know we had these - we -can- do such amazing things !

Haahahaha ha ahhhhahah ah HAAAAAAAAAA ! #noai #putaiinthetrashwhereitbelongs #downwithslop

Use it or Lose it - your little grey cells that is !

First personal piece besides sketches I'm posting here this year. Think I'm calling this "The Slop Spill". But yah...fuck ai! It's a anti life and anti humanity tool that benefits primarily technofascists in the short run. Long term it will pollute/kill everything. #art #humanmade #fuckai

YaaaaaaaaaaY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
