Got an update here. Like I posted earlier, I got some bad news today. It's nothing I want to discuss yet, but I've got more appointments coming up to work this out and find a path forward. I do still need financial help, so here's my links. Thank you.

The Dola is finished! This is not a canon BattleTech scheme, instead based on a mecha from Muv-Luv. The Nepalese flag was a special request which I was happy to include. #BattleTech
An olive green Dola BattleMech with dark gray details, numerous glowing details, and a blue sword with a glowing edge. Another front view of the Dola. A rear view of the Dola, showing its glowing jet exhaust. A top view of the Dola, showing off its base and a Nepali flag painted atop one of its jet verniers.

It generates bullshit. It does not, in and of itself, bullshit - that still requires some level of intention. GenAI has no intentions, no thoughts, no emotions. It's artificial intelligence in the truest sense of the term: a simulation of intelligence, no more aware than Pac-Man's ghosts.

Illustration made in procreate of a white and gray kitty on a pink background in a sailor's cap adorned with a eigenvector and cherry blossoms. Around him it reads being an eigenvector is a special property, so is being a kitty. He has green eyes which match the color of the band the words are in.

...you know, I just realized that my anxiety has developed almost perfectly alongside the proliferation of AI-generated images. I genuinely wonder if there's some part of my brain that's convinced I'm surrounded by monsters.

GISKARD (1984)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 28” x 18”

What makes someone human? Can a robot be murdered? What is the future of human relationships and what is the ultimate destiny for the human race? 1/5
A robot stands with one hip slightly cocked and hands clasped over its forehead as if shielding its eyes. Sunlight reflects off its metallic body. Behind and slightly below him, A thick-trunked alien tree spreads its canopy wide and flat, mirroring the form of the robot's arms, elbows pointed out. From the top down, the sky is a lime to lemon gradient that bleeds to orange and purple haze at the horizon. The mound of dirt in the foreground is sparsely covered with leaves and berries, framing a human face.

RX-78-2 GUNDAM: NOW AND THEN

I really love the classic look of the Gundam, so I wanted to understand all its differences compared to the modern interpretation of the RX-78-2. And there's no better way to learn something well than to teach others!

#gundam #mobilesuitgundam #rx-78-2
a digital illustrated poster comparing the original and modern designs for the rx-78-2 gundam. on the left there are illustrations of the modern look and another drawing sporting lots of markings and decals, as well as extruded vents on the chest. on the right, there is an illustration of the retro-style gundam, and a closeup of the head. the following text is what fills the space around the illustrations: MARKINGS - There is no "one true design" for the Gundam, and the various designs for decals on model kits or paintings of the RX-78-2 show this well. NOSE - While the original design of the head is variable in its design (especially around the faceplate, which could either have a flat top or a jagged top), a good amount of the illustrations show that the red section under the eyes was intended to be in the shape of a nose and upper cheeks. This is similar to other giant robots of the era, like Mazinger Z or Zambot 3. VENTS - Some depictions of the RX-78-2 have extruded yellow frames around the chest vents instead of vents directly inset in the chest. While this is a design trait that the later RX-178 Gundam Mk-II has featured since its first appearance, the RX-78-2 wouldn't be depicted with them until its first Master Grade model kit in 1995. Now, this look is part of the variable design "canon", and appears on some iterations of the RX-78-2 like the Ver. Ka or the Gundam: The Origin design. YELLOW V-FIN/ANTENNA - The RX-78-2 is occasionally depicted with the crest on its head in yellow instead of white, especially in early merchandise of the show. This may have been because early giant robot toys used softer, rubbery material for pointy design elements, and that material only came in a yellow color. On the RX-78-2, this yellow coloration is also used in the Gundam: The Origin manga, alongside a green camera at the top of the head and eyes that often glow pink. (alt text continued in next post)

A screen print featuring head shots of 8 soviet dogs which were sent to orbit from 1957 to 1966, all surrounding the original canine cosmonaut Laika. A red star and banner at the top reads 'Soviet Space Dogs' next to illustrations of two different orbital capsules used in the program. All text is in Russian. An oil painting of a red human skull with a bright orange outline against a collage of '80s Japanese wrestling magazine pages. Picture of wrestlers, wrestling, and a lot of Japanese text, presumably about wrestling. A digital illustration of a spectral owl, with cephalopod arms where its legs would have been. The owl has two arrows embedded in its ghostly body. There is a stylized human skull tied to the top of its head which also has an arrow in it. Night sky, a bare tree, clouds, and a full moon are the background. A black t-shirt with an image of a Black Crowned Night Heron: a medium-sized bird with a whitish chest/belly, dark blue-black wing tops and crown, a black spearlike bill, red eyes, and proportionally long yellow legs with long toes, slightly webbed standing on a stylized rock, with a green rushing river and blue sky behind. An actual bejeweled black crown is suspended over the bird's head and a golden beam of light is coming from within it down onto the regal heron. All this is within an elaborate frame rendered to look like patinated wrought iron. As part of the frame, arcing over the bird's head on either side of the crown it reads BLACK CROWNED, and below the birds feet are the words NIGHT HERON.

a photo of an abandoned space of some kind, concrete floors and walls with spraypainted graffit, lit from the front with harsh shadows. a long-armed crawling thing with skin the colour of rotten seaweed pulls itself along the gritty floor. it's legs dissolve into shadow, and its head is a web of gristle. a photo of a dark outdoor alleyway. in the back stands a man with his head bisected at the eye sockets.

🩷 let's make some magic 🩷

last year, this community turned the most consumerist day of the year into a day defined strangers saying "I got you" to people that really need a bright spot in their life.

it's time to run it back.
A typewritten note that reads: FREE FRIDAY let's see what this community can do... again. having this platform is useless if we don't use it to bring some joy to people who could really use a win. if you are in need, and have been wanting something from the shop, post a link to it here. if you can afford $15 to make someone's day better, reply. we'll coordinate with you on making a donation & we'll get it shipped out. let's do some good today. with a doodle of a fox

This should be interesting.

And IU still got a lot of medical junk in the near future including a EEG and second MRI upcoming, plus specialist visits to see if we can figure out what in the heck is going on.

Any support is appreciated, even if one can only afford to spread the word.

I worked stage security at a private concert. The artist had requested a "soft" barricade, basically just a line of cloth tape stanchions. They're common at private events, where you don't want the steel barricades because the crowd isn't a danger, but the artist wants some space.

it doesn’t want or understand anything. It’s a weighted random number generator, generating 0’s and 1’s that make up text or pixels, in large quantities that feel plausible. It does not know what you or it are saying. It does weights based off of what other people say a lot within it’s data set.
