Company Regrets Replacing All Those Pesky Human Workers With AI, Just Wants Its Humans Back Years after outsourcing marketing and customer service gigs to AI, the Swedish company Klarna is looking to hire its humans back.

Saw an interesting article yesterday, reporting on the beginnings of a wave of regret for companies that try to replace human workers with AI. Filed under "No kidding, you don't say!! 🤦" futurism.com/klarna-opena...

Questioning AI Resource List Excellent summary of major problems with companies’ focus on AI written by expert in machine learning: https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-fucking-piledrive-you-if-you-mention-ai-again/ Another g...

One more reminder that webglaze serves all its users on the equivalent power of 50% of a single outdated data center GPU. Or you can run glaze on a modern laptop and glaze an image in about 2 mins. Unlike AI companies busy training the latest models, you won’t disrupt any power grids. I promise.

Dont cry, boil black tea of your choice in 1 cup water with 3 teaspoons of brown sugar for 4 mins, let cool for 1 min, strain and pour into pasta jar filled with ice, and pour milk of choice over it, ok?

Good morning

I made these graphics anyone can use! The only difference between the two is the text at the bottom. Enjoy! #noai #antai

Spent all day hangin with Ava working on this bad boi. I'm really stoked with how it turned out.

Illustration of a cyborg with dahlias. Dahlias are sprouting from a triage shaped section of their heart. They are holding a black dahlia. They are wearing a pink athleisure sweater, with an updo of braids and loose strands. They have a peaceful vow of change on their face. Light pink background with a grey triangle.

All artists eventually fantasize about going into a little room with no worldly distractions to do their art, a sandwich is pushed under the door at lunch, maybe there is a bit of yard time for 40 minutes, before going back.

Basically art prison.

Watercolor painting of a parent/offspring pair of Brachiosaurus circling a Japanese maple tree for a personal client commission. #paleoart #dinosaurs #dinosaurart #sciart #sauropods #brachiosaurus #levihastingsart

Starting off the new year by sharing my final commission before the holidays: this parent/offspring pair of Brachiosaurus circling a Japanese maple tree, (though not scientifically accurate) is a beloved feature of the client’s property.

Reposting this guide from twitter because I COOKED here. (and still refer to this at work even now!)

A little tutorial to avoid a common mistake with the pectorals connected with the shoulders!

When the arms lift, the pecs shape changes.

i haven't watched this yet so maybe it's mentioned in the video, but i highly recommend using @laylavish.bsky.social 's blocklist for google/bing/ddg, genuinely cuts out like 90+% of the cancer. she's working on a youtube blocklist too which I'm highly anticipating! github.com/laylavish/uB...

Digital painting of an elegant merman. There is a glow of royal blue coming out of a cavity in middle of his upper torso in the middle that extends to his abdomen, and out of two columns of holes in his bottom portion. His tail seems to be a hollow flesh and the blue magic extends out to form his fish tail. There is a royal blue sword on top of the character; the sword is slim and sharp, and the blade is sculpted to have an impaled fish on its end.

This year wasn't kind to my siblings or pals so i'm happy to see it go down. Goodnight, 2024. I hope 2025 is nice to the folks I hold dear.

They think they can keep the gasmilk to themselves but I see through their schemes
