Do you know how annoying it is to be allergic to eggs? I have to avoid them entirely, including traces. They're in so much food. 😭 As if I didn't have enough stomach problems already.

I don’t want to be too sensationalist about this but also I’m the least violent person in the world and I think if someone said this to my face I’d hit them

"A physical book is a delivery mechanism for information," it continues. "Once that information has been extracted and encoded into an Al model, the delivery mechanism has served its purpose. What remains is paper, ink, and binding material. The book is not destroyed. Its value has migrated. The paper returns to the material cycle; the knowledge enters the intellectual one."

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

AI companies are destroying our collective shared history to put it into their slop buckets, because the slop they push out would destroy their models if they tried to re-input it

Text reads: This bookseller said his inventory is full of rare, foreign language, and low circulation books, meaning that if they are destroyed in the process of becoming training data, they'll be even harder to obtain.

companies are sourcing millions of printed books for AI labs that scan them for training data, then destroy them. printed books are more valuable because they're free of AI slop, and AI labs know destroying them is an "optics problem." www.404media.co/ai-companies...

Splendid Fairy Wren (_Malurus splendens_) Watercolour & De Mairo genuine lapis lazuli Ultramarine on silk mounted on paper, 88 × 120 mm. The scan does no justice and flattens the subtly varied blues too uniformly. I tried to edit it as well as I could. 1/

Painting of a male Splendid Fairy Wren in near-profile, facing right. A small bird of vivid blue and rounded proportions with slender legs and a long tail.

Today - a weather appropriate artist proof painting. This one's on the back of my Screaming Nemesis and the request was to make it a cat! Since my screamy girl has neither pants nor a face, I felt a sphynx cat would bear the best resemblance.

A 6.3x8.8cm acrylic painting depicting a fiery cat surrounded by disembodied paws, clawing up the environment. There's a delicious shiny moth in front of it and the cat's mouth is open so good luck, moth. Pencil for scale.The same painting photographed at a different angle in an attempt to show off the colorful foiling of the moth, violet and golden shinies all around and the textured, raised edges around the scratches.Magic: The Gathering card "Screaming Nemesis".
