"Personality, knowledge, and emotion are the three things that need to exist [in art] — and I'm sorry, they don't come from a fucking app." Del Toro sums it up 🫡

Japanese Study Apps That DON'T Use AI - Japanese Talk The plagiarism machine seems to be worming its way into everything. Here's a list of Japanese Study apps That DON'T Use AI!

I was going to post this article this weekend but Duolingo's recent doubling down on replacing humans with generative AI pushed me to get it out sooner.

Here's a list of amazing apps for learning Japanese that DON'T use generative AI!

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately?

anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

Stop making those little AI image generator memes of yourself as a Barbie or a Ghibli character you are enriching evil companies and destroying the planet and this is like one of the easiest things you can just not do

Vegan Izakaya Nowhere

Finally went to the Sakamoto Ryuichi exhibit followed by dinner at a new vegan izakaya. A good day💕

GenAI isn't programmed to be accurate and check facts. More people need to realise it is NOT a search engine, it's a chat bot programmed to sound human through the statistical likelihood that words will appear in a certain order.

LLMs are not search engines. Do not use them for research.

"I'm cringe but I'm free" is a catchy meme phrase and all but it's also 100% true. Life is a lot more fun when u can just openly enjoy weird shit you like without worrying so much about peer pressure or what other ppl will think. Why live ur one precious life so beholden to other ppl's opinions of u

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance.

Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Some photos from this past week. Happy Lunar New Year✨💕

chatted with my agent about my sweet Korean adoptee middle grade manuscript this morning💕 I have a good revision plan in place and am excited to start📝 #amwriting

wrote for the first time in a while📝 honestly felt a bit pointless with *vague gesture* everything going on, but I love the characters in this manuscript and know that it will be cathartic for someone (even if its just me)😊 #amwriting

the mood today

signed up. thanks for the share!

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

We should bring back popular network television with multiple potential revenue streams like selling syndication rights and DVD sales

Striatoncitytoilet: (repeated like a mantra while rubbing my temples) "i Will Stay Silly and not allow the world to make me bitter and cruel. i Will Stay Silly and not allow the world to make me bitter and cruel. i Wi"

Never forget that masking is more than just protecting yourself from covid.

It’s an act of compassion, resistance, solidarity and community care.

It shows that you don’t believe people are expendable. That you refuse to be responsible for someone else’s suffering.

The kindness is in the trying.

ME: [extremely burnt out] I need to take the day off to relax

ALSO ME: I wonder if there is a way that I could relax that would be more productive

i told you to trust my process

Congrats! What did you think of the program? I am 👀curious👀

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

💙💙💙

I've been summoned to post a character I love and tag three others to do the same.

The one and only Catra from She-ra! Tagging anyone who wants to participate <3

“There is no ethical way to use the major AI image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real human artists.”

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.

Quick trip into #Tokyo for my partner’s birthday weekend💕 lunch in Shibuya, shopping and dinner in Shimokita, dessert in Shin-Okubo. A good day!

This is still a work-in-progress starter pack, but at least it’s now starting to feel ready to share.

Use this if you’re looking to (re)connect with some AAPI voices.

Thanks so much! <3

Would it be possible to be included? I am a queer Korean American writer.

I put together this starter pack of Asian comic creators. Please let me know if there's anyone else I should add!
