We’ll see if the policy holds up but bro you know my anti capitalist ass is zinging over a politician saying “individualism bad” and “collectivism good”

I would love it if it were possible to just escalate the anti-capitalism of elected officials until sanity wins but that’s not how it’s gonna go 😔

Art is so commodified that you can be John Singer Sargent and get told you need more industry exp. on your resume/portfolio lol

Quality/experience as the capitalist world sees it is ~purely~ meaningless. Human beings used to defy all the odds in the universe by drawing their awe on cave walls.
A few years ago I cold emailed a company reaching out for possible work and the AD I emailed told me something like “We don’t take on amateur work, but please email in the future when you have improved”

And like, yeah that’s fine! They didn’t think my work is good, but I think about it a lot haha
What's an insult you'll never forget?

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media.

Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc

Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

This is the last non art post I’m making and I’m writing this as a promise and reminder that the next post has to be art work for me to count as an internet artist

As a Filipino, born and raised in the Philippines, I have witnessed the destruction and aftermath that mining can bring.

These capitalists won't stop until they bleed this planet dry.

“Is AI infrastructure extremely terrible for the global environment and local human quality of life?”

“Yes”

Then you don’t need it, no exceptions.

Can we please not worship Mamdani until at least after his term is finished and he’s ~delivered~ on all of his promises, including the ones he got quieter about over the course of his campaign?

Can we put our money where our mouth is?

Did we learn from Obama perpetuating the mass murders, or no?

(1) - My bad productive output (depressed, adhd, working on it) in terms of content (art), niche appeal (medium-good geek/entertainment design art), and inconsistent identity on the internet definitely makes my attempts to raise awareness pretty impotent.

I feel like evacuating a city of 14 million because they are going to run out of water should be a bigger story regardless of where it is.
