Hey Hey #PortfolioDay www.youtube.com/watch?v=42M4...

How many minutes or hours do you think elon or Zuckerberg or Zazlov or Bezos or Nadella etc would last doing *your* job, living *your* life. They'd be dead in like 3 days, max.

I really thought he would pull a j6 move - OMG this is The Best News !!! Congratulations to all Hungarians Everywhere ! You'All Did It !!! www.bbc.com/news/live/c2... #hungary #magyar #loljdvanceisaputz

!!!!! I think I'm having the OPPOSITE of a panic attack !!!!! whatever it is - It's what I'm Having Right NOW =D

scratching up some ref of Super-continents & Plate-tectonics for an animatic I'm working on and came across This Freaking Gem ! szupie.github.io/supercontine... have fun science folks --- #Science #geology #platetectonics #pangea

Books: The entertainment medium that doesn't track your eye movements to sell you something.

wooo this is Gorgeous ! the composition and colors. those slightly somber warm/cool shades and spots of goldie brown-greens. there's something so chill and knowing going on - a tiny quiet moment at the end of a day - ' hey cat cat - we gotta lock up now - time for home now ok ' -- 'merowow mowwwer'

THEY TRAINED THE AI ON ACTUAL WRITERS. YOU CANNOT TELL IF SOMETHING IS AI SIMPLY BASED ON IT USING PROPER GRAMMAR. IT STOLE FROM US!!! IT STOLE!!! IT IS A THIEF AND I WILL NOT EVER BE QUIET ABOUT IT!!!!

Most Fun Thing Ever ! I love NASA and Severance - This is soooooooo cooooool !!!!!

yeah, AI is just a tool. in the same sense roofies are just pills. slave ships are just boats. nuclear warheads are just rockets. in it's operation and effects it's about the same as each of these too.

"We know you're concerned about us partnering with the BURN THE PLANET TO CINDERS AND PLAGIARISE ALL CREATIVE WORKS technology, and we're looking for ways to address that that wont require us to distance ourselves from the venture capitalist money that we are so so desperate horny for"

sorrow and anguish and fear - that it's all slipping away and will be truly enjoyed in only the margins - by only a slender cohort

I've got the Artemis launch on in the background while animating some water today. Warm up with James Burke - one of the best shows on tv back in the day - Connections - www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WoD... #artemis #nasa #jamesburke #connections #artemislaunch

Whoo-boy are my dogs tired! Me and my friend Woodie The AntiFa Protest Sign spent the day walking about downtown San Francisco. He's having a rest now with a raspberry frosty and I'm filling up a basin with tepid water for a good foot soak. #nokings #sanfrancisco #fuckfascists #fuckfascism

!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY !!!!!!!!!!!!

freelancer version 'can't believe I have to look for work today' - everything else is exactly the same -

WHY !?!? Why does my brain do these things ?!?! wake me up at 7:13 this morning with the specific lyrics & specific voice singing 'Lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize" so I'm back from groceries & looked it up. Ok Brain - can we do some work now??? would that be alright?

Wowza!

"AI is inevitable" Get fucked gizmodo.com/people-hate-...

Dragon Posting

MASSIVELY resent struggling to find the meaning in some turgid, repetitive text only to realize it's "A.i." bullshit that no one wrote and that contains no meaning. Fuck billionaire-owned "A.i." companies forever for WASTING MY TIME, which means STEALING FROM MY ACTUAL LIFE.

!! Best Analogy So Far !! this also goes for sloppers that think dabbling with chatwhatever is ok if it's 'just for funsies'

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.
