This shit feels invasive and like retaliation for us all calling Aaron out for liking barely-legal from his work account.

I've seen a few artists and designers online starting to offer free flyer templates to encourage businesses to stop making AI slop flyers. I think it's noble, and I'm proud of them for taking the high ground. I, on the other hand, refuse. Fuck you, pay me. I will drag you into the muddy streets

Demonstrating your point in your post is wild. "The [artwork] is the smallest part" Were you unable to hire an artist to help you make this oh so important piece? If you can afford these unsound & unethical tools, you can afford an artist out there looking for work. Economic Gaslighting indeed

Richard Murphy@richardjmurphy.bsky.social · yesterday

Much of what is said about economics is little better than gaslighting.... I used AI tools when writing this post, including a spell checker. I also used 50 years of experience writing about these issues. The drawing was the smallest part of all that, and I had no budget to do it any other way.

Back on my bullshit! Been A MINUTE, but I have a handful of miniatures i need to paint up for market in November. Getting the juices flowing by building some custom bases for a couple of @monsterfightclub.bsky.social JIMOTHY models I got for @childlessgambino.bsky.social and myself. 🤌

this has a CRIMINALLY low amount of views. thousands of people illustrating The Fellowship of the Ring, frame by frame. it's so beautiful

Stop saying "log into a portal." Sounds way too cool for what's happening.

• Big "I don't allow girls at my table" energy. • This guy LOVES reminiscing about how much better THACO was I'm willing to bet. • Yearns for the days when ttrpgs were largely inaccessible to most people. • This guy wishes they'd remake "Oriental Adventures" but it's all too woke now.

"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

Yeah, paved roads SOUND nice, but all roads lead to Rome and some people don't have passports for international travel

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

This is classic smooth-brained, one dimensional thinking. If you don't think too hard, this makes sense. The minute you realize that providing cheaper competition into a capitalist environment drives down prices in surrounding areas, you get that everyone's prices are about to go down. AFFORDABILITY

…Are you kidding me? This country's treatment of voice actors is fucking abysmal. Aqua Teen Hunger Force essentially built Adult Swim, & if there were any justice, Carey Means shouldn't have to work another day in his life. Between this & Andy Merrill's trouble, i just… what the fuck. What the fuck.

Artists when the existential threat of generative ai dawns on another profession

the year from hell continues. Went downstairs to a dead fridge full of room temp food. It's 19 years old, so it is what it is. Hospital bills and reduced capacity to work related to them the last year have literally left me destitute, so all I can do is ask for help. ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf...

Was awesome to join Bloomberg to talk about the lie of AI - everyone's buying into the mag7 believing CapEx is going towards diverse AI demand, when all it's really doing is supporting the circular cloud revenues of two unprofitable, unsustainable AI labs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHcZ...

I don't know how much for sure because my scale died, but I've definitely gained some weight in the past month or two & I can feel it on me in the worst way. Ask my partner if it was noticeable and they gently confirmed. I'm fine with dad-bod, but this is past that and I need to get back to work
