gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.

stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.

they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.

fuck them, pay labor.

Really like this project by Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek. Titled Exactitudes, it's a series of portraits stretching back 20 years that shows how people style themselves to signal they're part of a group and unique individuals within that group.

I can confirm the PBS Passport is a very good deal for $5/month or $2.50/month if you do yearly.

Thousands of hours of top notch content. NOVA is great. The new Ken Burns doc on Leonardo da Vinci is excellent.

You can sign up at the link below!

This is my under $50 Blick pick. You can also use Bee paper, I just wanted to show another brand. The 14 pan Cotman set adds a pink and a Payne's gray, which are excellent expansions on the core 12 set and worth the upgrade. Cotman brushes are very nice beginner brushes too.

Recently turned in a deeply researched draft of a book on What AI Actually Is and reader, this is 100% correct
"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'."

MBA-brain is real.
They’re literally advertising it.

MORE RENAISSANCE FAIRE TOMFOOLERY, this time a little corset belt for my friend, made out of a favorite pair of pants that finally gave up the ghost. But textiles don't get out of further work that easy in this house, they'll stay out of the landfill for years to come in this incarnation!

Ball fringe is the easiest shortcut to maximum whimsy, I find.

Dawn-themed Renfaire costume in progress, very little attention to historicity, just going on vibes and responding to stuff I find in salvage or in my stash.
