Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

I know this is only adding to the list of emails and calls to representatives, but please consider doing either or ): these poor social creatures don't deserve any of this.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

This has pretty much been set to rest.

No basic income study has found a meaningful drop in work, beyond students and new parents (that's good).

In fact, it boosts employment and education by giving people freedom to think long-term and invest in their careers.

i found an older thylacine piece & while the haunches are a bit funky i still like it, i’ll probably redraw it soon to see how much i’ve improved anatomy wise.

what it feels like being alive right now...

also I like the muted colors better, which do you prefer?
muted red sketch of a thylacine head with its mouth open in a screaming position and the word "AHH" in front of its opened mouth. the thylacine's eye is wide with stress and its pupil, pinpoint from the overwhelm of everything that's happening. there is also a muted blue scribble of chaos above the thylacine's head to express the anxiety of being alive in such a scary and uncertain times. stay safe frens!🩶 more vibrant red sketch of a thylacine head with its mouth open in a screaming position and the word "AHH" in front of its opened mouth. the thylacine's eye is wide with stress and its pupil, pinpoint from the overwhelm of everything that's happening. there is also a brighter blue scribble of chaos above the thylacine's head to express the anxiety of being alive in such a scary and uncertain times. stay safe frens!🩶

Palestine has existed long before the occupation of Isrehell and it will live long past. Let’s do the work to make sure this ceasefire continues and that we end this genocidal regime for good.

Happy 12.12.24! Hope you had a soft day!
Dates like that are always so satisfying to my autistic ass!

I know they're not thylacines, but I had such a joyful experience creating them, that I had to share!

so I guess here's to creating "bad" art and not letting that stop me.
