"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.

Give yourself a present & scroll through the over 8500 posted in #ArtAdventCalendar this month.

The largest media event on Bluesky (probably)

(And if you're a new artist just joining, there's 660 artists you can get to know)
You can see over 8000 human made images (97% of them with AltText) posted by over 600 #ArtAdventCalendar participants just by clicking or long pressing on the hashtag and selecting See Posts.

I guarantee you it's better for your mental health than whatever else you're looking at on here.
I mean...just look at this. It goes on and on and on.

#ArtAdventCalendar is amazing and you really should check it out.

Everybody hates it and any claims that “this happens with any disruptive tech” are obvious and pathetic cope. Shut down your AI depts and take the L large corporations. This is not it
Nobody wants AI. We want Mexican Coke and McDonald’s to bring back the dollar menu. That’s it, you fucking pigs. Easy.
It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

People hate AI slop!

“I have no professional interest in people looking at my face” is, not to be dramatic about it or anything, an idea for which I am willing to live and die
and god I mean, more broadly - I resent this idea that someone has to look at me to follow what I'm saying, I like writing and I like talking on the radio and on podcasts, I have no professional interest in people looking at my face, leave me alone

Bsky ain't perfect but... one of the most relaxing things is to know I won't be shadowbanned for just telling my followers "Hey, I also post on these other websites"

Ow gente, pessoal que tá vindo do Twitter: boas vindas, segue as pessoas. Interage. Não fica na timeline algoritmica. O número é menor mais tem mais interação.

Outra: eu sou bem mais abertamente política aqui, não estranhem.

Merry Christmas!! Especially to those experiencing hardship, loneliness, and disappointment- every Christmas since the very first has been a celebration despite of, and in the midst of, grief and darkness and chaos and mess

Dia desses vi a frase "Estilo é a alegria do mercado, mas a morte do artista" (Cildo Meireles) e tenho pensado bastante sobre.

Somos muito mais q um estilo imutável, somos mto mais q nossa arte principal atual. Mas ser multidimensional não é instagramável, o algoritmo fica sem saber a quem entregar
Uma das coisas que fica bastante na cabeça esses últimos tempos é como que a gente, estudando e praticando pra entrar no mercado, nunca se preocupa com o que a gente tá pintando/desenhando em si

Parece que a única coisa que a gente deve fazer é o que se adequa ao mercado

It blows my mind that you can create a startup based on a fucking absurd series of lies and impossible promises, make billions of dollars while companies cut staffing believing the lie, then walk away from the smoldering crater without being guillotined straight to hell
