honestly? feeling really discouraged to create much of anything the rest of this year

It absolutely makes sense that men are using AI more and seeing more job benefits, because confidently spouting nonsense in the shape of information (what LLMs are programmed to do) has always been much more of a pathway for career advancement for men than for others.

Being an Auntie is such a privilege.

Being an Auntie instead of a Mother is a choice I will keep choosing til I decide otherwise.

6. Be happy for other creators who are having their moment, if you can. Creating is hard. Getting a moment is rare. So much is about luck and factors you can’t directly control. “Deserve” has so little to do with anything. So when someone catches that ride, cheer them as they go by. Wish them well.

TIL that this dude is an AI artist.

Shame. I really liked their colors. 😮‍💨
Happy to see @aimod.social was already up to speed tho with the label when I went to unfollow.

If someone's "not interested in art" and yet wants to include art in something they're making, they are in fact "interested in art" 🙃

If you recognise that the visual effect of the right artwork will enhance your project but then use AI to create it, what you actually don't care about is people.

"But what about people who are bad at art? They should have a chance to join in too."

Yeah, by making BAD ART. Maybe it'll turn into Good Art with practice. Maybe it'll always be pretty bad art. The idea that we have to appear immediately good at everything even if we have to fake it is a sickness.

If the public transportation continues to be awful and I can’t afford a car, I should be allowed one pony to get me around on my daily errands

listening to music more often this year, especially while creating, has been so cathartic for me after the turbulence of last year

Staring at a person’s laptop covered in outdoorsy/save the environment stickers and then one huge particular AI company sticker and I want to just start throwing over tables in this coffee shop

I love a good floppy leaf. The floppier, the better, am I right??

apropos of nothing but it's funny how certain folks will always try to chase the style of studio ghibli/miyazaki but only on a surface level and never tackle the themes of environmentalism, anti-war, and empathy i.e. the stuff that made those movies masterpieces

like yeah my taste buds are probably fried

I never take it to heart when ppl disagree w my food takes bc the amount of donne I regularly put on my food would kill a yt midwesterner

I miss when websites weren’t all the same and everything wasn’t monetized and everyone had their own little blog and search engines weren’t full of slop and the internet was fun

You hate Disney live action remakes cuz you hate women and minorities

I hate Disney live action remakes cuz I hate shallow appeals to nostalgia and the framing of animation as a lesser medium, we are not the same

dudes talking up generative ai like "finally a tool for a mediocre man like me to get credit i dont deserve"

if you like something that target or amazon carries and you still want that product, go to the manufacturer's website and see if you can order it directly from them.

it's saved me from giving either of them money, and it's equally as convenient as using the target or amazon apps.

Instead of using ChatGPT, why not just get a family member to lie to you while they set fire to a tree?

I feel like making art is a form of resistance.

Because as long as you’re making something beautiful, you’re not letting the regime steal your joy.
