Renee Would Like a Job @dreadbeasts.bsky.social · Dec 1
Hi! I’m Renee, a Vancouver based animation professional that’s worn a lot of hats on a lot of shows (tech, set up, comp, builds, animation, etc). I also have a fat cat and a hyperfixation with critically acclaimed MMO Final Fantasy 14.

Expect art! And opinions about things!

Been a hot minute since I updated the self portrait so here we go.
cartoon image of myself, wearing a ghost tshirt and black pants, floating in a magic void with a green and blue neon swirl behind me. Various things i like - yarn, a d20, my cintiq pen, diet coke - float in the magic void around me.

Watching the last few eps of Dispatch with my pal @evangatoarts.bsky.social and Phenomaman wanting to play MTG took me OUT.

In the Museum of Brands and Packaging down in Notting Hill, you can see this happening again and again. “McIntosh’s Radio Toffee”. “Vimulon Atomic Soap: now with Uranium!” “Tinford’s Electric Cufflinks”. It’s always bollocks. It’s the giveaway it’s a nine day’s wonder, before it all calms down.

I know, I know, 'everyone's 12 now', but like-- what a rude ass thing to say, period, but especially as mayor of a major North American city about your constituents?!

Wow, what a cynical thing for our mayor to say after all the Vancouverites came together to voice concerns over his budget

It will never cease to baffle the shit out of me when people are miffed about not being privy to details when they didn’t ask about the details or show interest in the first place.

Whether it’s an irl project or my rp characters or whatever, if you’re interested… ASK. I don’t blab for free.

A three panel comic featuring a black bunny and a unicorn anthro. Panel 1: Bunny sitting beside unicorn, unicorn is lying on their back Bunny: Did it hurt? Unicorn: Did what hurt? Panel 2: POV behind the bunny’s head, we can see the unicorn’s face Bunny: When they showed you they didn’t love you. Panel 3: Split panel, repeat of the first panel between bunny and unicorn, then a close up on the unicorn, a tear rolling down cheek. Unicorn: Yes. Yes it did.

there is not. it is using a (highly complicated, multidimensional) statistical model to guess the next word in the chain

that is ALL it is doing

that is ALL it CAN do

there is no difference between valid output and hallucination

it can’t search its data, or demonstrate creativity or insight

TFW you had ambitions going into the week to start making more art and some jerkwad virus had different plans.

Wear a mask, get vaccinated and take your vitamin C! I don't think I've ever gotten a cold twice in one season... and I am insanely fortunate that it's *only* a cold, not the flu or roni
Rough lineart drawing of the artist with a cold. Her hair is tied back in a very sloppy, frizzy bun, and she is wearing a blanket around her shoulders and arms while seated at a keyboard. Her face looks miserable and tired, and there is snot leaking out of one nostril and a tissue shoved up the other nostril. A large "snnkrk" sound effect with a speech bubble tail, indicating congestion, comes out of her face. TL;DR I had a nasty cold.

Ireland did a trial run of a program that provides basic income for artists, and is now keeping it. (See link in post.) I'm an artist who desperately wants to be able to slow down enough to make art again, and something like this would benefit me, if only it was available in the USA, but at this rate, it's never going to happen. Pic is of a dog leaning its head on a brick wall, looking longingly at a grill fill of meat and veggies, which is on the other side of the wall. I made the image into a meme format with "me" pointing at the dog. Pointing at the meat & veggies is text that says "Basic income for artists programs (also universal healthcare / child care / elder care / college, gun control, ceo income caps, vacation days, unions, and all the other cool egalitarian shit americans don't get to benefit from.)" All the best things seem just out of reach, huh lil doggy?

Sometimes you have a realy stupid idea but it has to get put on paper anyway.

Anyway, call me Fed Ex because I'm shipping the hell out of the murder ballerina and her tiny Irish brick shithouse boyfriend. #Dispatch #DispatchGame
Rough drawing of Coupe and Punch Up from the game Dispatch. Coupe's arms and wings are stretched up, and she is holding a knife in each hand. She also inexplicably has bird feet (not canon) and is using them to carry Punch Up while flying. He is smiling.

In short, acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy is not linked to the risk of developing autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability.

The study has been published in Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED.
• jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

🧪🧵⬇️
Key Points Question Does acetaminophen use during pregnancy increase children's risk of neurodevelopmental disorders? Findings In this population-based study, models without sibling controls identified marginally increased risks of autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) associated with acetaminophen use during pregnancy. However, analyses of matched full sibling pairs found no evidence of increased risk of autism (hazard ratio, 0.98), ADHD (hazard ratio, 0.98), or intellectual disability (hazard ratio, 1.01) associated with acetaminophen use. Meaning Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children's risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analyses. This suggests that associations observed in other models may have been attributable to confounding. Abstract Importance Several studies suggest that acetaminophen (paracetamol) use during pregnancy may increase risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children. If true, this would have substantial implications for management of pain and fever during pregnancy. Objective To examine the associations of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children's risk of autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and intellectual disability. Design, Setting, and Participants This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis included a population-based sample of 2,480,797 children born in 1995 to 2019 in Sweden, with follow-up through December 31, 2021. Exposure Use of acetaminophen during pregnancy prospectively recorded from antenatal and prescription records. Main Outcomes and Measures Autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability based on International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes in health registers. Results In total, 185909 children (7.49%) were exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy. Crude absolute risks at 10 years of age for those not exposed vs those exposed to acetaminophen were 1.33% vs 1.53% for autism, 2.46% vs 2.87% for ADHD, and 0.70% vs 0.82% for intellectual disability. In models without sibling control, ever-use vs no use of acetaminophen during pregnancy was associated with marginally increased risk of autism (hazard ratio [HR], 1.05 [95% CI, 1.02-1.08]; risk difference [RD] at 10 years of age, 0.09% [95% Cl, -0.01% to 0.20%l), ADHD (HR, 1.07 [95% Cl, 1.05-1.10]; RD, 0.21% [95% Cl, 0.08%-0.34%]), and intellectual disability (HR, 1.05 [95% CI, 1.00-1.10]; RD, 0.04% [95% Cl, -0.04% to 0.12%]). To address unobserved confounding, matched full sibling pairs were also analyzed. Sibling control analyses found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with autism (HR, 0.98 [95% Cl, 0.93-1.04]; RD, 0.02% [95% Cl, -0.14% to 0.18%l), ADHD (HR, 0.98 [95% Cl, 0.94-1.02]; RD, -0.02% [95% Cl, -0.21% to 0.15%]), or intellectual disability (HR, 1.01 195% Cl, 0.92-1.10]; RD, 0% [95% Cl, -0.10% to 0.13%1). Similarly, there was no evidence of a dose-response pattern in sibling control analyses. For example, for autism, compared with no use of acetaminophen, persons with low (<25th percentile), medium (25th-75th percentile), and high (>75th percentile) mean daily acetaminophen use had HRs of 0.85, 0.96, and 0.88, respectively. Conclusions and Relevance Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children's risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. This suggests that associations observed in other models may have been attributable to familial confounding. The study was supported by National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke 1R01NS107607.

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

This whole section really.
Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
