Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

But also note: Hochul hasn’t backed off her pledge to oppose the core of Mamdani’s program — raising taxes on billionaires.

I recently talked to Delgado about all of this. Listen to the interview here 👇

In Slaughterhouse Five isn't there alien intelligence that sees our world end, who relate to Billy that all of humanity alive at the time knew the name of the person who pressed the DON'T PUSH button that destroyed it all?

And that all humanity considered him the dumbest sonovabitch on the planet?

It's hard to believe the most transactional man who ever walked the earth would completely move on from someone whose entire life was devoted to furthering his political project at the precise second that he couldn't get anything out of even his death anymore.

Is this... singularity?
An assassin writes Bella Ciao in the same breath as a Notices Your Bulge meme on his bullets. One of the government responses is a practicing Hindu asserting that the fundamentalist Christian victim will join him in a Norse pagan afterlife. Welcome to the epistemic collapse.

This is perhaps the best time to announce that that internet culture reporter has parted ways with Vox and is now open to freelancing, if anyone would like them to, oh, explain the increasing role memes and shitposts have played in extremist violence, for ex: www.vox.com/culture/2019...

This is also what Qualified Immunity achieves too. It creates a barrier to accountability that is protection for the people the state imbues with the power to commit violence. The state, its functionaries, and those who benefit from how it functions, are ALWAYS going to defend its status quo.

OpenAI is anything but “open”—very early on, it left behind that marketing tag to become increasingly closed, elitist, and inherently anti-democratic. Empire of AI had a rather different subtitle in its UK edition: “Inside the reckless race of total domination.”
