the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

404 Media continues to be the most impactful tech publication on the internet, from shutting down U.S. government surveillance programs, to, in this case, stopping the sale of books for AI training data. If you want to support this work, become a subscriber here: www.404media.co/membership/

I was @ripperoni.com's girlfriend for 4 and 1/2 years. In June 2022, I attempted suicide. My mental health collapsed, and I desperately needed rehabilitation, but (In-person) Ripperoni became my sole caretaker. I was a blank slate to be molded, unmoving and spiraling for most of the day.

You don't need to feel bad if you didn't participate in Art Fight this year. You also don't need to feel bad if you did 1 attack rather than 100. Art Fight is supposed to be fun whether you participate or not, and it should not make you feel guilty. Don't be so hard on yourself. ๐Ÿ’™
