I draw, I write. AuDHD, PTSD survivor. Anti-capitalist.

I like sci-fi and fantasy and comics.

I used to draw every day, but that was decades ago. Trying to rediscover that.

Intro post. I'm a single dad, I live on a pension and I'm struggling. I don't care how worthy your cause is, I won't be giving $ to anything, so don't ask. I need to feed my kid.

Any account following me with no posts or no info will be blocked.

Anyone posting AI "art" will be blocked.

Fuck AI.
A Doctor Who Last Supper.

This is my tribute to season 13 of classic DW in particular, and the Hinchcliffe era (seasons 12 to 14) generally.

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

One of the greatest Doctor Who cliffhangers of all time, IMO.

I'm surprised I got this in two, but that violin piece is pretty distinctive.

This is why folks call it a tool of fascism. It generates fear and distrust, which benefits fascist liars.
one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

AI generated content of any kind undermines the credibility of whatever is being communicated
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Man tries to demonstrate what wonderful progress AI is by citing instances in which, in most cases, the AIs in question are murderous, destructive villains that kill people. Great point, mate, great point, I for one am converted

Drawing well is a skill that's easy to prove and instantly commands respect because universally, every human has drawn something at some point and knows how difficult it is. Growing up fat/unpopular I could still earn some respect because I could draw well. Ai assholes want that without the work.
there’s a long discussion to be had about how AI dipshits are /like this/ because they wanna cosplay as artists SO BAD and it’s not even because they wanna BE artists, it’s because they see artists as like, social media success symbols? Idk someone smarter than me can put it better

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

The cover of the comic I was holding when I met Peter Capaldi. Had a nice talk with him after.

If you’d like to help me get back to work, it’d be appreciated.

My only work computer died bad, and I’m without a machine.
