Only trust people who tell you to make compromises if they have proven themselves willing to do the same. Too often it is code for "You change, so I don't have to."

The passenger level of the space elevator was ridiculously large for the number of people it typically carried, but it was built over the export gas containment chamber, and scaled for "planetary population growth." #Art #ConceptArt #Blender #SciFi #WorldBuilding

I don't know why I keep getting surprised by how bad the reading comprehension is on the Internet.

If the vote counts were reversed, they'd be saying this was the forever end of socialism in the United States. But the left won, so it's actually a loss. Somehow.

Got asked by a student today "How can you tell if you are an illustrator or a concept artist?" Well - First off, it's a spectrum, but: If you want to create art *FOR* an existing IP, you are an illustrator. If you want to make new things for new IP - concept artist. #Art #ConceptArt #Illustration

... and? And what happened to his daughter? Was she harmed in any way? Emotionally traumatized? Ruined for life? Why the f*** can't these people mind their own business?

Blindingly obvious that this is targeted at “degrees we think women get.”

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

My gf and I agree, the big problem with both ‘Devil Wears Prada’ movies is they make a big initial noise about Andy’s belief in journalism and stopping enshitification, and then ignore it for the rest of the films.

What is the moral position on sampling scam AI YouTube ads and using the audio in industrial songs?

So, after I dumped #Adobe #CreativeCloud I tried ripping samples from YouTube videos in Reaper instead of Audition - and you know, it's actually WAY FASTER and easier to do it in Reaper!

My yearly subscription for Creative Cloud is this month - they've removed my online school as an approved "education" discount and shit AI into everything. I downgraded to just Photoshop, and am considering getting rid of that. Fuck #Adobe, fuck subscription models.

So I only decided I wanted to become "an artist" when I was 32 years old....before that, I was an IT professional who worked in banking, hospitality and health care. I don't think I suddenly "became" more creative when I became an artist.

China puts out over 4 million artists a year with technique better than yours or mine. How do you differentiate yourself from all the other people trying for the same jobs? Why should I hire you? Lots of artists are ‘easy to work with’. What makes YOU special?

Not that the people who want to hear that "I hate illustration / genre" will listen but: I want you to make whatever kind of images you want to make. You don't need to care if I find them boring or not. I'm still allowed to find them boring. The industry would be better if it had more of YOU.

Really interesting to see the reactions to my "Art" post yesterday...started out with people mostly agreeing with me, and then the "illustration is technique" and "all art is meaningful, no matter what" crowds showed up with a VENGEANCE.

"Art" these days means very different things to people. For many, it's something they can contribute to the TTRPG / video game / animation / tv industries - NOT something to express their humanity and POV. They don't want to talk about the human condition, they want to get paid to paint dragons.

The time for a general strike gets closer and closer...and if you don't think this points to that, I don't know what to tell you. www.msn.com/en-ca/money/...

Once again - People say the WORST shit about Millennials, and then the data confirms that they have been getting screwed since...forever, and for the foreseeable future. www.msn.com/en-ca/lifest...

lol, no, thank unions. Capital would work you 24/7 in a coalmine starting at the ripe old age of 7 if they were allowed to. Every ounce of leisure time working people have is because workers organized.

A very large data center can bring inover a thousand workers for the 8 months to a year it takes to build it. Once running, they can consume as much as a million gallons of water a day and raise your electricity bill by upwards of 15%. And need no more than 30 people. www.wsj.com/tech/ai-data...

The AI Data-Center Boom Is a Job-Creation Bust

Tech and political leaders tout them as an employment bonanza, but data centers need very few workers in very large spaces.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.

First time in 18 years I bench pressed a set of 97.5kg. Feeling pretty psyched.

In their private gardens, away from the public or the need for shields, the Nobility could almost be mistaken for "normal" people...but in truth, you cannot separate who a person is from their circumstances. #Art #ConceptArt #Blender #SciFi #WorldBuilding

I REALLY want to know why any media outlet cares about Emily Wilson's take on "The Odyssey" - And why anyone let's themselves get in any way affected by it. A scholarly academic didn't like a mainstream movie written for broad cross-political appeal. Water is also wet.
