screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

woah. ich kenn nur das gefühl, wenn man mitbekommt, dass sie existiert, ich aber nicht eingeladen werde.
wie ist es auf der anderen seite.o.o?

During the pandemic, while I did my internship, my then boss told me one of his friends agencys had lost all of their clients. He actually had to file bankruptcy. They did post job openings anyway.

I can see who actually visits my portolio, who actually watches my reel. so far none of the companys has. which is interesting to me, last time I was looking for a job most did.
Im starting to wonder how many of these job openings are actually real and how many are ghost jobs.

sigh...

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

It only took me about seven years to come up with a new name for a comic blog, but I have one now.
The next comic could drop any second now anywhere between this afternoon and the year 2136.

Nice. Happy Endings clearly make everything better. Cant wait for the Rerelease of Titanic (will the door be big enough for 2 this time?), Baz Luhrmans Romeo and Juliet and of course Saving Private Ryan.

Here's my plan for my fall seminar, "US Democracy in Crisis." Students will read ~100pp/week (6 books + articles). We'll explore what we should expect from democratic governance, why it can fail, how inequalities and media play roles in its decline. Syllabus linked.

Banned classes will end up being taught in living rooms with paper copies of samizdat reference works and class schedules spread by word of mouth. AI will be the official version of reality, the resistance will be analogue.

Oh no I really hope Bill Clinton isn’t in the Epstein files, I’ll have to get rid of my Bill Clinton hat and my Bill Clinton sneakers and my Bill Clinton cologne and my Bill Clinton watch and take down my Bill Clinton flag and I’ll have to delete my Bill Clinton nft trading cards

Butyric acid smells awful and is really, really hard to get rid off. Would be a shame if someone would pour that on them or their cars👀

Brrr das is sooo ich find den so richtig unangenehm passiv aggressiv. Will dann schon immer aus Prinzip zurückpöbeln

Given how often we are getting reports of ChatGPT driven psychosis in people because the thing is designed to be sycophantic and agree with everything you say, is it safe to assume yet that all billionaires are totally unhinged because that’s what their daily life experience is?

Hab mal die unironische Begründung gelesen, man wolle ja auch seine Ruhe mit den Kindern/dem Telefon.
