sue

Did you know you can hire a witch to put a curse on someone on etsy?

Just saying.

"sue why are u using claude?"

the company I work at wants us to use ai tools and I would like to remain employed.

When I asked claude to give me my horoscope for pisces it told me that it would only answer programming questions.

How are these people getting it to write poems?

also a human engineer with the costar app would have hooked me up

also I know this author loved her some Enigma and Enya.

reading Art is a Way of Knowing for therapy homework. This was published in 1995. In the creating your space section it mentions having a tape or CD player. 😭🩷

sanrio's big challenges

this was the brief. I play a lot of Hello Kitty Island Adventures

it's BIG CHALLENGES the sanrio alligator

BEHOLD MY BIRTHDAY CAKE THAT @ourarawr.bsky.social made me

oh no this isn't when us-east-1 was down.

staaaahp is this for real? I was on call that week.

Amazon's Blundering AI Caused Multiple AWS Outages At least two outages at Amazon Web Services occurred after one of the company's AI models made changes to code.

Remember that day-long AWS outage that downed big chunks of the Internet in December?

Turns out that was caused by Amazon's in-house AI 'assistant', having been given unsupervised root-level access.

Expect this to happen worse and stupider as tech bosses double down on their wild overinvestments!

I've been watching Billy play Expedition 33. We just got to Act 3 and now we know why this game won awards.
Up until then I was mostly yelling 'what does any of this even mean???!!!!!' at the screen

@travale.bsky.social i have gone from calling Lune 'Feet for free' to just 'Feet'

instead of despairing over the dystopia. Focus on all the little things that cannot be recreated digitally.

Leaning real into creative process exercises and meditations this year.

I can't think of a time visual art has made me mad as a stand alone and not in context to the artist.
I absolutely can think of music I have had a visceral seething reaction to and had to stop and go 'they did something there.'

"if my art makes you mad, then i've succeeded" only works if your emotional reaction is only at the art.

You can be mad that people find it worth money, that's not about the art.

You can be mad at how it was made. That's not about the art, that's about the artist.

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.

She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.

It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

and you want people to read it?

why do so many apps have terrible search T_T

why when I put the full title of a book into search it still comes back as the 5th result

yoooo we cannot keep letting non creative people make creative decisions. This is ODD

we are going to look back on this time like 'what the fuck were they thinking'

the new true crime documentary is using 'ai' for some interviews. So you'll be listening to a sad story of a mom losing her baby told by a videogame cut scene character and it's WEIRD.

I also prefer physical mediums, so maybe I am just not the target audience here.

Do people even engage with AI generated content? I just see what's wrong with it or feel like it's weird.

people love napkin drawings created by humans

And she wants you to use cheap supplies that anyone can afford. Steal a pen from a bank. Draw on napkins from Dunkins.

Want to make comics and can't draw? Go to the library and check out Lynda Barry's Syllabus. She teaches you to make a little bean guy and also teaches you that comics are mostly made of observation and story telling.

A comic showings cartoon man degrade into a bubble with eyes and a mouth saying that comic work no matter how well drawn they are.

Posting this again to remind you you dont have to be an amazing artist to draw comics!

Talent is a myth. Curiosity and perseverance are what get you where you want to be.

- everyone has to draw bad to get good

- if you can't pay an artist, resorting to the machine that used their work to source its output is just theft

- ok. It's simply not for everyone. I can't play the guitar 🫤
