Remember: our worth does not begin & end w/ what we can do for people, how attractive or entertaining other people find us, or how closely we adhere to anyone's idea of "good."

Yeah, we like it when others are drawn to us-- but their affinity for us never "creates" our value.

I'm at NiCon in Hanover this weekend btw :D

img that says “got a really crazy art coming up in the next 7-8 years. Stay tuned.”

This is so true

When people say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." the correct response is:

"I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

Feel like I gotta explain myself. So Vocaloid merch is merch by someone who likes Vocaloid while Miku merch is merch by someone who likes Miku. The vibes are very different. There is no way to explain that Miku merch is not Vocaloid merch but Vocaloid merch can be Miku merch.

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

You have to have changed your main fandom platform at least four times AND you must have at least three fandom-related subjects that cause an overwhelming wave of exhaustion to hit you whenever people start arguing over them

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Was thinking about how many designs Gumi has now and this was the solution my sleep-deprived brain came up with (1/2)

I don’t know who needs this today, but here you go..

SYNTHV2 GUMI DROPPED, TEARS IN MY EYES

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

SynthV, Vocaloid6 and other “AI-powered” singing synths are to music what digital watercolor simulation is to digital art. Human input and skill is still required to produce the end product, but the algorithm/AI just replicates the original tool (paint, voice) more naturally.

I dont "NETWORK", I do not "keep a consistent schedule", I don't try to make my art "stand out" on people's feeds. I POST MY ART. And if it flops, I DON'T CARE.

These look fun, what are this type of dolls called? 👀

I got mad about AI so I made this comic about The Fucking Point of it all (1/7)

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.”

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

We're so cooked. Figuratively and literally. I give this planet 50 more years at best.

it is sort of crazy-making, having grown up with "never disclose your name, age, location, likeness, or any potentially identifying details online" as the golden standard of online safety taught to me as a kid, to hear people be like "yeah upload your whole ass government ID to a poorly secured app"
