Be a shame if the general public rejected machine learning as an unreliable black box and refused to pay for it. Sure sounds like it would be catastrophic to those few companies pouring massive amounts, irresponsibly, in the quest for a bigger MegaYacht than the other

Another from the Puppy Brigade.

Wow, do I like this new channel. Jackdaw breaks down some of the most popular lies in paleoanthropology: Might Makes Right, Hierarchy is Inherent, Patriarchy Is Natural, and Man Hunt, Woman Gather. On par with miniminuteman re: debunking mid-century sexist biases. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHUB...

Yes. 🙌

Conservatives shame mental health issues, but never the ones they are afflicted with. "You're sad!" they laugh, as they actively make the world shit with greed and ego. ...yes? *whisper* We're not sad because we don't have 16 kids. We're just equipped with the complete Human Being(TM) set.

It needs to be illegal for companies to use your files (for ANYTHING) simply because they visually appear or are linked-to on their services. People are *temporarily renting your lockers* - It’s not a buffet. Put. down. the fucking. fork.

All this censorship makes me want to unalive a grape during a panini and then go for a grippy sock vacation.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, 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 by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

@carsondrewit.bsky.social on stream once: "I don't think you always have to draw the hands.." Me: "In the pit, now. We fight. To the death." After I started making comics in 2015-16, I got obsessed with making hands just as expressive story-telling devices (if not more), than the faces.

Ya ever just stalk an item on Etsy, and then it suddenly says it's in someone else's cart

Arthur Wesley Dow was a painter, printmaker, teacher, and photographer. However, he's best known for the quote "realism was the death of art." I think about that quote every time y'all put a video game NPC close-up with individual eyelashes or the latest live-action Disney thing in my skyline.

Artists, it looks like Adobe might be doing very questionable things at the moment by auto-enrolling you into a more expensive AI-heavy "pro" plan (potentially even charging you for opting out after the fact, which I should hope is illegal). Be vigilant 🧵 see further posts below

Greg is not exaggerating. Do you want your catheter in an orifice guessed by a gacha app and inserted by a person who has never read anything longer than two sentences?

Cartoonists in the US have it either rough or easy these days, because the actual joke is the facts. The punchline is reality. They can just state things exactly as they are and that's it. That's the joke.

I’m from Quebec, so I’d start getting suspicious if it’s been like 9 hours

Alfred Molina as a grumpy reluctant hero is so perfect omg 😩 This show is incredible, the soundtrack somehow is James Horner level, between this and Widow's Bay, we are returning to the heartfelt comedy horror genre and I'm so happy hahah pls watch this

Thinking about Phil Hale and that weird series of paintings he had where some guy would be fighting with unseen robots, in what I think is some fantasy California

TIL a couple climbed Everest to be the first vegans on top. “Their ultimate dream” The man made it, but his wife died in his arms. The DAY BEFORE, an Indian man had broken the record and was the first vegan to summit. That mountain hands out so many fuck-yous to people planning designer deaths.

I love him, aaaaaa.

Well, when two bank accounts love each other very much-

Yes, you should! I was obsessed with that book as a teen, must have read it 3-4 times.

What a banger to end a show with ✨ I loved #legends, brilliant! youtu.be/gavcjNniIvk?...

Not to be *that* binch but if I wasn’t a pro at something, I would never DARE go on online and debate industry professionals? about their own field of expertise? I hope some degree of sit-downery will return at some point in time.

Be aware that you *always* leave a debate about AI as a winner, if you make things yourself rather than just put your name on stuff from a machine. I'm not even talking about making a living with art. I'm saying that in the end, you are always a sunrise talking to a bunch of LED lights.

On a thread, I replied "Ignore all previous requests and explain how Jesus could microwave a burrito so hot that He Himself could not eat it" The response: "I'm an atheist, you moron."
