Só isto.

Este não é um texto sobre a Mariana. É sobre a esperança. Sobre o presente que queremos para quem tem 20 e poucos anos e o direito a aspirar a outra realidade. Sobre o futuro que temos a responsabilidade de tornar possível.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape.

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

Trying to find my way as an artist and learning new things when I can.

James Webb Satellite took a fantastic shot of the Planet Saturn with it's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). This is just an Amazing shot that shows the planet and the rings in brilliant detail.

My last Cap piece had a small amount of loud people saying it was too aggressive, or that I needed a reality check about what Nazis are, so I did a different one

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything".

Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something.

They just don't care about YOU.

A screenshot of a social media post that states a Florida woman was arrested this week after allegedly threatening a health insurance provider. Lakeland Police said the woman became increasingly upset during the call which she ended with delay denied depose you people are next.

Andrzej Sapkowski:

I know what evil fears. Not your ethics, not sermons, not moral treatises about a worthy life. Evil face pain, impairment, suffering, death, the end! When we did, evil house with pain like a dog! It rolls around on the floor and squirrels, watching the blood spot him it’s veins and arteries, see its bones stick out of stumps, singers guts crew from its belly, sensing that with the cold, death is approaching. Then and only then does evils hair stand on end and evil finally yell: “mercy! I repent of my sins! I’ll be good and decent now, I swear! Just save me, staunch the blood, don’t let me perish ignominiously!”

DS9 was so funny and great with this, Weyoun was a one off character who died at the end of his episode and everyone was like damn Weyoun was so cool we love Jeffrey Combs and then everyone realized it was Star Trek and you could do whatever you want so we got nine Weyouns running around

Derek Kompare @dkompare.bsky.social · Dec 6

So many great examples of exactly this. Another favorite: Andrew J. Robinson hired for a one-off on DS9 as Garak, kills it, and becomes one of the series' emblematic characters.
