New financial struggles ahead :'/ meaning I can no longer afford therapy... I need to lock in somehow for the next two months...

Posting this again for reasons 🌲

I know I haven't been active here in a while due to illness and burnout, but I'm experimenting with some new names again and picked up Vili /Willow / Villo next to Floris to see how it feels🫡

A reminder that GenAI exists solely so that CEOs don't have to pay creative and skilled people for labor. And it's up to us as consumers to generate as much backlash against this shit as humanly possible.

You know what? 2026 is the year I'm not playing nice anymore. If copyright means so little to use A / I for playing around, here's one of his book for free: Color and Light James Gurney [English] : Free Download, Internet Archive share.google/qjDjFS6QhhZJ...

I did *not* manage to post this in November #MeetTheArtist

"AI is here to stay, might as well use it" is such a weak, lazy and dismissive argument. You know the damage it's doing, you know the lives, careers and industries it's destroying and you refuse to take a stand. The thief already stepped in, might as well let him take everything in my house I guess!

“AI is ok as long as it’s not taking anyone’s job” and whose work is it trained on. Did you forget that it’s a bunch of stolen fucking shit? Are we moving the goalposts already? “it’s sticking around so you have to get used to it, be realistic” no I don’t. Eat my shit and hair

if you’re not an artist with experience in studio environments it might be hard to appreciate just how much genAI feels like a conman claiming to have made a gun that kills artists and every ceo lunging for it and pulling the trigger a few times learning the gun doesn’t really work isn’t a comfort

Dude... give me the bottle

Important PSA: I hope you never see other artists as competition. Please take their success as proof that you can also succeed here.

just a collection of "inevitable" multi-billion dollar tech that was going to be the future of everything until everyone in the audience who was supposed to just get on board said "lol no"

Now that the Larian news are out can someone tell me how to convince someones place of employment to not fall into the same mistake. Literally any resources to help them understand that jumping on the AI bandwagon is a horrible idea

Behind every bad decision with backlash is a team of artists going "I told you so"

To quote @lukeplunkett.com :

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Oh really

Today I turned 25 and I celebrate the final development of the prefrontal cortex! And here are my best works of the past year🌟

I have said for decades that frustration is a good thing. it's not even really something I see as something to 'tolerate' though I recognize that's a matter of perspective, but rather frustration is the symptom of you having standards and recognizing you want to close that gap between you and it
