A wedding is a ceremony that illustrators may attend if they are interested in having a conversation about AI with a tech guy whom they've never met before

"We messed up 🥺👉👈" this is how stupid they think you are lol. I actually think if you steal 131 million dollars from people making poverty wages, you shouldn't be allowed to be a company anymore!

They even made DoorDash apologize.

"I wrote the piece and Claude found the links relevant to my claims" is, even without the AI, such an admission of poor thinking and argumentation. your claims should emerge from the evidence!

Less shocking to me was reading this bit at the end, where Erickson - whose entire day-to-day job is just wanking out a bit of punditry once or twice a week - has handed much of that over to AI.

This man won his primary by 30 points.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

another Judas painting i really love and that's always been a "i need to keep this composition in mind" type of influence in the back of my head Judas Iscariot, by Edward Okun, 1901

there's something very contemporary about this 1908 painting of Judas by Sascha Schneider (or just a testament to the Symbolists' lasting influence to this day)

It literally took me 20 seconds, and only bc I changed some of the wording on the comment

The USDA is trying to recind the Roadless Rule which currently protects 45 million acres of National Forests from logging and deforestation. We have until September 20th to comment and tell the USDA we don't want this! File your comment w/ link below: action.outdooralliance.org/a/roadless-d...

Yesterday while biking I hit a rough patch and the bag containing my sketchbook, wrist brace, and headphones seems to have popped up and out of my rear basket without me noticing. So I guess if you find it let me know.

I would say conservatively ~95% percent of the time I respond to an email which I believe to be urgent I get an automatic OOO reply back

To anyone who does not live in Paris but visits the city at regular intervals (as I do), the transformation has been staggering: Paris has been reclaimed from cars. It can be done, and could be done in London too. It is all about political will and taking the risk of being unpopular - for a while.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

Sometimes I will keep track of edits needed on a book in an email draft. Sometimes I start a list and it ends up being one item long. I am happy to have finally deleted the draft I have been sitting on that read, simply, "skink."

This is really what drives me crazy when I see this out in the world. If youre prompting or hiring someone to prompt you are probably sinking similar “labor“ expense as hiring an artist, as well as opening up a hole in your business that hemorrhages exorbitant subscription expenses in 5 years.

And remember: these little gigs are only gone because Big Tech is undercharging their product by 90%. If they charged what their service costs, it'd be cheaper to hire a human. That is why the bubble must burst.

I have become so habituated to typing “-ai” in searches that Ive started accidentally tacking it on at the end of texts and stuff.

New client requires Adobe files so I had to dip back in to a few months of an InDesign subscription. Immediately greeted by this, a true marvel of modern software engineering.
