HAHAHAHA NO FUCK YOU
Screenshot from quark.com attempting to sell a potential buyer on the "benefits" of ceding all your human workflow decisions to AI. The "human rework needed without automated [quality assurance]" is particularly hilarious. [begin transcription] How Manual Workflows Limit the Potential of Generative AI Many enterprise content teams continue to rely on manual authoring, fragmented review processes, and siloed systems, undermining the scalability and consistency that generative AI is designed to deliver. Typical risks and shortcomings often look like: - Inconsistent outputs due to lack of structured templates and semantic metadata - Increased compliance risk without audit-ready review workflows - Manual approvals and reviews delay publishing velocity - Generative AI outputs requiring extensive human rework without automated QA - Brand voice and terminology drift without centralized content governance - AI cannot scale effectively in siloed or legacy systems Ultimately, manual and unstructured content operations constrain the value of generative AI for enterprises. To turn AI into a business-critical capability, enterprises must adopt intelligent workflows that automate governance, standardize content structure, and align every asset with brand and regulatory expectations. [end transcription] TL;DR don't write or design your own shit, brah, just have the computer do it, it totally knows what it's doing, smiley face Fuck all the way off, Quark.

tbh re: last posts, I kinda wanna see if I can get QuarkXPress back up and running, in re: InDesign also turning to shit

I hate that the new version embraces genAI shit, though. Guess as long as your product even brushes up against Selling Things™, the slop viziers will never be far behind.

honestly, if you're in a position to do so, now's a great time to discuss pipeline changes with your studio heads. It'll take ages, but if you're using an Enterprise license, three years is just enough time for C-suites to make a decision on that kind of migration.

that's right, share the link to an archive of flash versions instead. it's always morally correct to pirate adobe products especially if they're dead. animatorarchive.neocities.org

A digital illustration of a groundhog all dressed up in fancy morning dress: big shiny top hat, cutaway coat with tails, bow tie, waistcoat with watch chain, pinstriped pants and shoes with spats. He’s standing on a hillside covered in yellowish green grass. It’ The sky is gray and hazy and there’s a bare tree in the distance. There are patches of snow on the ground and crocuses coming up. He’s casting a long shadow forward within which is lettering reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

My feelings on "Fat Anime Girls" can best be summed up by a comparison of these two manga pages. One is Nighthawk Returns, the other is Plus Sized Misadventures in Love (DebuLove)
Panel from the manga Nighthawk Returns. The titular character is portrayed dressed in a loose tracksuit, with soft heavy breasts and a pudgy stomach protruding from her tank top. Her shoulders, however, are still lean and trim, her collarbone his visible, her neck is slim and her face is round but not weighted. Panel from the Manga "Plus Sized Misadventures in Love" portraying the protagonist Yumeko Koda dressed for work in a flowing blouse and a long flower-printed skirt. Her wrists and ankles show plump weight, her face is rounded and pouched, with a realistic double chin, and her features are small in her face, emphasizing size, but still looking cute.

the confirmation of contemporary transphobia as a political movement has been the brainchild of a boys club made up of some of the most disgusting monsters in recent memory to explicitly keep trans women disenfranchised so as to subjugate and exploit us for their own sexual gain is like

Gonna reiterate: Even if you have never ONCE cared about rap, F.D Signifier's vid about the Drake/Kendrick beef is absolutely essential watching. Shakespearean plot arc. Amazing cultural moment, it'll be its own college course one day.

People think being disabled is like being on vacation

They say “you’re lucky! I wish I didn’t have to work!”

Most of us would love to work. We would love to get out of bed. We would love to not be forced into legislated poverty

Imagine your worst sick day on repeat forever

That’s chronic illness

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working"

So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images
Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator. In his email to the company, the CEO said "we’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search. I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work. Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits. If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."
