A reminder to my union kin that you can and should be telling on companies who are using genAI to your union reps. I refuse to launder AI images for a living.

SketchDex Pact Day 5 #SketchDex #dippen

SketchDex Pact Day 4: charcoal. Hands are easy to draw actually. This is not rage bait. #SketchDex #charcoal

SketchDex Pact Day 3: wax pastel. This accursed rock is tethered to the SketchDex just like I am. It determines what medium I'm forced to use each day. I've rendered it with Caran d'Ache wax pastels further binding us all together. Only 362 days to go. #SketchDex #waxpastel

SketchDex Pact Day 2: soft pastel. Some days you win, some days not so much. These student grade pastels I had kicking around didn't really want to grip to this ancient rolodex paper as much as I would hope. The beauty of a daily challenge is getting to start again tomorrow! #SketchDex #softpastel

SketchDex Pact Day 1: graphite self portrait. My friends have been bullying me to post these on main. Bullying works! I've been uploading new entries daily to my IG stories so if you want to see them — *checks watch* not 5 months in the past oh my god — I'll see you there! #SketchDex #graphite

Tuesday, April 14th is #PortfolioDay! If you are a creative looking for work, this is the tag for you. Visit portfolioday.art for more info!

It's never been more obvious to me that Aronofsky is a full-time tech propagandist. I saw "Postcard From Earth" at The Sphere, a film about our beautiful planet and the ways man is destroying it. The solution? Colonize other worlds Adam & Eve style. It's a love letter to the techno-fascist mindset.

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.

SNL used AI art tonight, multiple times. Booooooo.

I made DDG my default browser a while ago. I don't love being tracked and distracted by Big Googoo all the time, and this is yet another reason to make the switch. techcrunch.com/2025/07/18/d...

Good lord just what the hell is up today. A potential ban on any regulation for AI for the next 10 years? This includes good bills like AB 412 of legislation protecting folks from Deepfakes! Wtf?! Call your congressmen and women asap to tell them to take this down! www.404media.co/republicans-...

Yes, we can all laugh at this, but it also demonstrates the entire point of the AI push: They want to make you dependent on it to inform you, and then control what it tells you. It’s why they buy newspapers and social media, too. Elon is showing the billionaire playbook in the dumbest way possible.

Dr. Gabagool and the Salami of Secrets@jimpjorps.bsky.social · last yr.

apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"

Did AI kill your job? If so, I want to hear about it. The response to my story on the AI jobs crisis has been overwhelming. I heard from so many people impacted by AI that it made me want to collect and organize these stories to better understand the phenomenon. Share yours at: AIKilledMyJob@pm.me

Generative AI is so damaging it got all the UK papers to unite against it. How's that for some solidarity 🇬🇧
