If you use AI to write your story or your music, you’re a loser. I don’t have time for anything you’ve presented because you didn’t have time to actually work at being creative. If that makes me an asshole, I’ll be that. It’s not the first time I’ve been called an asshole, and it won’t be the last.

This is what people mean by AI is theft. Someone I know later found out an artist (16k followers) they got a commision from uses AI and now they don't have funds to commish me or another artist they like. Not only does the slop machine steal art, these scammers directly steal work from real artists

I'd like to randomly remind everyone I've been using 3D models for pose references and you should try it too

what the fuck is this dipshit on about? YEAH WE WOULD BE, WE ALREADY DONT USE IT!! WE FUCKING HATE IT!?

"Prudery is the enemy of art" - Soviet poster, 1980s

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

"The Boss Needs You..." prints are restocked in all sizes! I have t-shirts, tank tops, and stickers too. willburrows.art/shop Also - I have an 18"x24" copy with a 1/4" tear at the top edge that I'll sell for 25% off. The tear would be completely concealed if you plan to frame it.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Them: ‘I use gen AI every day! I no longer have to do anything! I no longer have to think! I haven’t used my brain in four years! I love living through slop!’ The rest of us:

literally everything will be superior to Gen AI slop. anything and everything.

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

LRT any and all AI bro arguments are not even worth the effort. They dont care. Nothing will change their mind their shit machine is a bad thing actually.

The bad-faith AI-booster argument about artists being “gatekeepers” is so facile that it really doesn’t deserve any air. Those are not serious people, and your time and energy for yourself are too valuable to expend on them!

"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take

They do not have legitmate concerns This isnt top or bottom because THEYRE the ones on the TOP. This isnt them going against big pharma, its them supporting fucking eugenics!!! THERES NO BIPARTISAN POINTS TO BE SHARED WITH THESE GHOULS!!!

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

Update for art & comms! After I finish up the current piece I'm working on, I'll be going on a slight hiatus for a couple weeks. In the process of moving and need to focus on that. Comms will remain open, but please expect a delay in me working on them! Will return to work as soon as possible!

And the 400 dollar boots srill only last you about a year.

sam !@sam.robotsfightingdinosaurs.com · 2d ago

a $20 boot lasts a month but a $200 boot lasts 50 years but the company that makes the $200 boot got bought out by private equity and changed factories to the same one that makes the $20 boot so now it only lasts a year but another company bought the original factory and is selling boots for $400

This is such a bizarre complaint because every single writer I know, including myself, can barely shut up about writing And the ones who don't welcome new writers into the community tend to be the ones nobody likes to hang out with in the first place

Antony Johnston@antonyjohnston.bsky.social · 2d ago

Seeing complaints online that authors 'gatekeep' information…! Absolute nonsense. There is no industry or craft in the world which is so comprehensively written about, studied, and discussed as fiction writing, and every author I know welcomes new writers who are serious about giving it a go.

i'm watching an irl friend slip away to AI psychosis in real time he's isolated himself and just talks to his AIs he truly believes that he's finding the meaning of life and "cracking the code to the universe" with these...predictive text generators it's really sad

I’m now just 34 sales away from 100!! This story’s been out a year and I’d love to finally hit this milestone! 🥰 If you like epic fantasy novellas with magic and romance, maybe check it out! I would really love to get this book into more hands 🫶 [ #booksky ]
