FYI, this grant program is open to anyone communicating science.

It does not require that you went to school for science.

You could be a Ph.D. student, an artist, a community organizer, a teacher, or any other profession. As long as you are communicating science IRL in the US, you're eligible.

Over the weekend I picked this project back up after not working on it for nearly a year, and I feel like maybe it's done now

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023

people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

I don't know who needs to hear this but "alumni" is plural

No but for real!!! I've had clients give me their "stick figure" drawings along with their written explanations and honestly I love them so much when I get 'em.

They're usually accompanied with an apology for how "bad" they are but honestly they're extremely helpful to us!!!

Hehe thank you

See a butt, post a butt. 🍑

Generative AI is an engine for churning out contaminated information faster than people can produce safe information, let alone fact check and correct it.

And corrections never remove the original contamination, it's an attempt to stem the metaphorical bleeding and hope for the best. 11/

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Vaccine rates for flu and covid are way down this fall but that shit is out there kicking asses left and right. Go get your jabs, you can do both at once!

Do people on Linkedin know that they can make an honest post about the negative aspects of AI without a "don't get me wrong..." caveat?

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
