Happy birthday to you too!

Turned 34 today ✨🎈

Give me one thing you like about me as if you knew me and if you do know me tell me one thing you like about me.

Every year there should be a raffle and whoever wins gets either their OC or themselves as a thanksgiving parade float

ms paint doodle of frodo, sam and gollum. the hobbits are bunny like creatures, whereas gollum is a ambhibious frog or catfish like guy.

doodling... thinking about lord of the rings...

These are incredible yo!

Yell Heah

ah beans

also, related, I'm on 100% on gen 1 and 2 of pokemon which took me way longer than I would've thought. But honestly who remembers Qwilfish

okay a little proud of this. As a morning memory challenge I've been doing a sporkle quiz of all the world countries and finally today got 100%

The low-angel Frieren meme is genuinely inspiring. Someone braver than the troops shares a picture they know turned out weird. Thousands start sharing their own art, offering advice and laughing together at something that is genuinely hard.

No ai to be seen --- just people supporting each other.

Negative vibes

I’ve travelled moderately far and wide. Canary Wharf remains the weirdest place I’ve ever been.

Heyo! I’m experienced and able to hit the ground running!!

An email in the recently released Epstein emails heavily implies Donald gave Clinton the ol gluck Gluck 3000

I don’t see the problem. One president sucking another presidents dick is probably the most patriotic image you could imagine.

I'm definitely getting that coffee cup!

yeah theres been some talk about it cannibalising itself. model collapse I think its called. Which in theory makes sense because by its very nature its recursive. But I don't really know tech behind that

I saw a post saying an ad that once cost £100k would now cost £100 with ai. great! now agencies can make so many more ads! but wait, companies are still asking for the same number of ads to be made. so now what?

to ammend point 1 a little: the finance and marketing people are of course enjoying their false sense of creativity but ai also appeals to them because it cuts a chunk out the budget, mainly the creatives they despise so much.

7. And lastly, and this is personal to me and any other person who creates. We don't HAVE to make art, we GET to make art. I write for cartoons. Loads of people would kill to have my job. Why would I sell of even a fraction of that creativity to a machine?

6. We are going to see more and more of this in the public space (i saw an ai Boots ad on the tube the other day) but this is largely fueled by novelty. Like I said, people don't want to be sold something by a machine.

5. (and this ones a kicker) all the people getting excited about it are exactly the same people who got really excited about Nfts and crypto. Hows that going?

4. The average person wants real stuff. it's not just artists pushing back against this.

3. people keep harping on about how its just 'going to keep getting better and better'. While it has improved in what it does (largely due to theft of peoples work), just because it's improved doesn't mean we're on a set path towards it becoming perfect and indistinguishable from real art

2. the people who are excited about using in in creative settings think creativity is something you're born with. They think they just weren't so fortunate and are now on a level playing field. This shows their lack of taste and inability to understand creativity in all forms is developed.

Again, not to go on about ai but I have a few thoughts.

1. I've genuinely never seen an actual creative get excited about using it. Someone who has actually made something before. Its people from marketing and finance backgrounds getting excited about a false sensation of making something.
