Huge thanks to everyone who has commissioned art from me! Pumped to do more 😎 I’ve updated my pricing a bit, for those who are interested. There’s a limited quantity for each but also plenty still available! ko-fi.com/stephenhilge...

Every time someone writes a smug poorly-argued AI article like this, they’re simply demonstrating how swiftly AI has already transformed said writer’s critical thinking into a rotten log on the forest floor, studded with grubs and slime mold, gently disintegrating into humus even as we watch.
The NYT Magazine asked me and @caseynewton.bsky.social to open their AI issue by talking about how we use AI, why it's not going away, and how you can't be a serious critic if you're in denial about how useful it is. Bluesky's gonna love this one!
