Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.
It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

and listen making art is frustrating and miserable sometimes and sometimes it's not working and you need to go and sit on the toilet for a while and come back and redo a section you spent a week on and that is the Process and it is a thing that is Yours and it should not belong to a computer

I miss a lot of things about my grandmothers, but what strikes me is how little -- if any -- of it is centered in what a Large Language Model or generated images or video or audio could give me back.
It's the rooms that my imagination still dwells in.
The food I still eat.
Haptics of presence.

I think it's important to make art so you can confront the whirling bladed nightmare at the center of your brain and come out the other side different and gayer

I’m a firm believer that with SHIN GODZILLA returning to theaters, Toho should also re-release the figurines of the kaiju giving apologetic press conferences.

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing
