The quoted AI bro reminds me of the guys there are like "every man has done [creepy rapey thing]" in defence of a creepy rapey guy, completely unaware that, in fact, they have not.
My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
Missed this yesterday.Monday was characterised by being tired; on Tuesdays I have craft group, so drew some cross stitch. #MonthInPixels #PixelArt
Reminder that "don't speak ill of the dead" doesn't mean "don't describe them accurately" or "don't quote what they actually wrote in a major publication to show what they were like", it just means don't lie about them.
I think "AI" plumpers should be happy I'm focusing mostly on the nonsense it's doing to my field, rather than how it's very clearly designed as a tool for the capture of wealth and capital by a bunch of accelerationist weirdos enthusiastically huffing their own farts from the depth of their K-holes
Sci-fi authors Scalzi and Stross decry AI's dystopian impact on their craft
These people literally do not have brains. Of course they don't want to give up AI. Four years ago they must have been eating paint, tying their shoes together, and trying to force the square block through the circular hole.
I know it's the height of summer, but if you cross stitch as slowly as I do, it's the perfect time to start on Christmas projects! (I have a toddler, I don't have much time for hobbies that involve sharp things!) Consider buying my mini Christmas #CrossStitch patterns. ko-fi.com/s/1954b3d7d1
Day 2: tomatoes! I've been pruning lower fruitless branches on our tomato plants to make them less bushy, focus their energy on fruit rather than leaves, and stop them overshadowing the adjacent onions #MonthInPixels

Next batch of #Septembit 2020 live for supporters! ko-fi.com/i/IF1Y524CS1C #PixelArt. This group includes the monkey, and believe me you don't want to rely on a search engine's image search for monkey photos. It's a poisoned well of AI images. Thankfully I did find good references elsewhere!

I recently came across this video from Pixel Clip about using little pixel sprites to journal each day, and I thought it was such a lovely idea, so I've started to do it myself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ8F... #PixelArt

The absolute *gall* of looking back at a time when hundreds of people died EVERY DAY and going 'Maybe we should have been more lax'. Media class in this country will be the fucking end of us.
New post on Ko-fi! The next batch of #Septembit 2020 animals. Wanna know what you're missing? Have a free eagle! I based this on a fish eagle because just searching "eagle" in image search didn't return helpful references. ko-fi.com/i/IF8S724A1T1 #PixelArt
The problem with using an LLM for some narrow use case where you think it’s actually appropriate is that you’re using it in the context of a UX system designed to make you expand your usage and change your views of what is “appropriate”
I'm a pixel artist and cross stitch designer and I'm hoping to build up my online income to £30 a month ready for when my toddler starts nursery in September, to cover her lunches on the one day a week she'll be there the whole day. So I'm asking people to consider supporting me.
This remains the only #Septembit I completed, but I am super proud of it. Especially the last one! Do you recognise any of them? The Septembit challenge as well as the template and prompts was created by @saultoons.bsky.social #PixelArt
I love a chance to draw some ancient Greek pottery! Today's #Pixel_Dailies: #Vessel. This one is a small jug, or oenichoe, from c750-700 BCE, currently held by the Louvre. What interested me about the original is the vibrancy and the human imperfections. #PixelArt #AncientGreece
I'm giving #Septembit2020 another go. I've created my own template for it and I'm posting them four at a time at ko-fi.com/chilari for supporters. Once I finish the challenge, I'll post the completed template for everyone to see. Here's a sneak peek of what supporters see, plus templates. #PixelArt
Since there's a lot of recommending science and archaeology communicators at the moment, I'm seconding the recommendation for @miniminuteman.bsky.social and sharing my favourite of his videos: The Great Raft www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVUK... (content warning: swearing and drinking)

In light of Hank Green disappointing us all, a thread of science communicators that do not brainlessly parrot LLMs as reference. Miniminuteman. A Tiktok import who now posts long form archeological/pseudoarcheology-debunking vids to YouTube. They're fantastic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFA4...

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank
