rugged individualism is by far the most bizarre belief because unlike every other position good or bad which can be traced back to some part of human development over the evolutionary process, this one is truly alien, it's a rejection of the primary advantage our species had that helped us take over

I got to do this cool crow and dogwood tattoo on a real cool human. One more session and I'll call it done.

cosmo's unicorn tattoo was one of my first. they very bravely responded to my internet ad for free tattoos (!!!) & just let me go for it with this super huge and fun placement... two years later and I've already learned so much more technique

heraldic lion today. thinking about if I were tattying back in the 6th century and someone asked me to draw em an animal based on a description they half remembered heard from some wild-eyed sailor in a bar instead of like, three different high res photographs and an anatomical chart

Oh and we started in on that wolf in sheep's clothing piece-- basically just a permanent stencil right now. v impatient to get back into this one

embarrassed to report how long this project has taken me... wip. client has requested some alterations so this version won't see skin. I'm still making up my mind whether or not I'll change the lamb ears to look less kangaroo-esque

The current AI industry is the new oil: they demand the right to extract resources, to pollute both the social space and the physical environment, and they claim there will be massive dividends for society so they should not be required to make safe or to pay.

The point about AI training is that it is not a ghost in a machine learning by diligent study; it is massive corporate power expropriating work and asking to be excused from the law in exchange for goods it will not deliver and profit it will keep to itself.
