I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:
Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

One more reminder that webglaze serves all its users on the equivalent power of 50% of a single outdated data center GPU. Or you can run glaze on a modern laptop and glaze an image in about 2 mins. Unlike AI companies busy training the latest models, you won’t disrupt any power grids. I promise.
New evidence shows AI's thirst for power may be distorting the flow of power to US consumers (gift link):

Apple has opted iOS and MacOS users into an AI photo scanning feature which tries to extract landmarks from your photos called Enhanced Visual Search by default with little notice.

All artists eventually fantasize about going into a little room with no worldly distractions to do their art, a sandwich is pushed under the door at lunch, maybe there is a bit of yard time for 40 minutes, before going back.
Basically art prison.

Now that it is tax season I remind everyone:

THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES.
Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...
