So.. as a guy who's literally walked out of a restaurant for using AI imagery on their menus and being told " but we're just a small business" and my response being " and I"m just an artist who, among many others, gets their art stolen to make this. So yeah I'm not buying anything here"

I really recommend the 2022 documentary “It’s Quieter in the Twilight,” which profiles the scientists working in relative obscurity to keep the Voyager spacecraft operating—many of them past retirement age, but unwilling to quit until the Voyagers do. It was very sweet and thought-provoking.

This is the difference between a winner and a loser. “Yeah you wanna try? Go ahead and fucking try. I’m gonna kick your ass anyways, and if I lose, I’m coming back twice as hard. If you’re on my team, we’re gonna smoke em.” vs. “WAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAAH” <fifth place benchwarmer diarrhea noises>

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

Aaand an AI presentation at work. This is infuriating. This is what I get for living in a rural area I suppose. Makes me want to watch data centers burn, and AI execs [redacted].

"To you I am obscene, but to myself I simply am." - The Creature, Frankenstein (2025) This will be available as prints for Furrydelphia! And boy howdy holy fuck did it take me a while to finish. Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement along the way :')

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.
