As long as AI stays exactly like this, stops evaporating all the water out of the oceans, and loses the trillions of misguided investment, I regret to say that I now love it.
AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

Go ahead and steal it, i can always make more

it's so funny how people post shit like that as if the exact concept "my art is theft of your sacred concept of art" hasn't been explored to death by influential working artists for decades

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Daughter (3) told me for Halloween she wants to be Benjamin’s “The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility” and when I pointed out that she’d be aestheticizing her own politics she countered that to watch passively is to already join the ritual

forcing AI into every industry from the top down, ignoring employees who say "this is unfit for purpose, it's creating more work for me", meanwhile if it actually worked and industries were adopting it from the bottom up, the line from management would be "lazy kids don't want to work any more"

is anyone truly buying all these plushies being advertised every day to “fund these indie animated pilots” lmfao. is this really what this has all come to. must animation be paid for with dollars made from mass produced merch of guys i’ve seen for one second. surely there is another way man

when a bunch of shit happens back to back that makes it either logistically or psychologically impossible to work on your various projects, you spend a long time wracked by guilt and thinking about how great it's going to be when you can focus for real and fire all those things out again

there are naturally larger gaps in the Painterly palette for some hues than others, but I hope to fill those over time with discrete packs focused on specific moods/landscapes. I figured as a starting point mapmakers always always need more greens browns and greys.

I am also working on a colourblind pack to give away for free, because ttrpgs drastically drastically need better accessibility toolsets for players and GMs, but that is going to take a little longer to cook because I need to make sure it really serves its purpose first.

Daniel Farson's HAMLYN BOOK OF GHOSTS IN FACT AND FICTION (1978), one of Hamlyn's quadrilogy of classic books about horror, mysteries, and monsters, went all-out on the illustrations. At times, it's neck-and-neck with Usborne's famous trilogy of paranormal-themed books. That second picture!

That joy must not be sold. It must not be "privatised," made into another privilege for the privileged. A public library is a public trust. And that freedom must not be compromised. It must be available to all who need it, and that's everyone, when they need it, and that's always. — Ursula K Le Guin
