I’ve been drawing on my tablet at night here and there. I like to keep blue light exposure to a minimum after the sun goes down, so I’ve been setting a black background and using light colored lines. Reminds me of etching. Without intending it, this one ended up looking a bit like Elon. 🤔

OpenAI wants access to all the IP they can get w/o paying, saying democracy & free markets are at stake. They're also fighting Chinese authoritarianism for us.🤔 In a free market, you PAY for valuable, high-quality products. OpenAI is the threat w/ this line of thought.🙏 @producerpatrick.bsky.social
