It absolutely makes sense that men are using AI more and seeing more job benefits, because confidently spouting nonsense in the shape of information (what LLMs are programmed to do) has always been much more of a pathway for career advancement for men than for others.

Bloody Mary (mirror entity, not cocktail) @marygillis.bsky.social · Jul 26

Every. Single. Story. about women not using AI as much as men portray it as bad for their future career prospects (without a shred of evidence) and a result of women being fearful little ladies rather than looking at AI's output and saying "this sucks, it's not going to help me."

For women, the increase of AI use in the workplace may affect their careers: Harvard study

Women are using AI significantly less then men and it’s going to have a major impact on their careers, according to extensive research on the topic.

Being an Auntie is such a privilege.

Being an Auntie instead of a Mother is a choice I will keep choosing til I decide otherwise.

6. Be happy for other creators who are having their moment, if you can. Creating is hard. Getting a moment is rare. So much is about luck and factors you can’t directly control. “Deserve” has so little to do with anything. So when someone catches that ride, cheer them as they go by. Wish them well.

If someone's "not interested in art" and yet wants to include art in something they're making, they are in fact "interested in art" 🙃

If you recognise that the visual effect of the right artwork will enhance your project but then use AI to create it, what you actually don't care about is people.

What about people who are (a) bad at art, (b) not interested in art, but (c) want to include art in something they're making that they *are* interested in?

"But what about people who are bad at art? They should have a chance to join in too."

Yeah, by making BAD ART. Maybe it'll turn into Good Art with practice. Maybe it'll always be pretty bad art. The idea that we have to appear immediately good at everything even if we have to fake it is a sickness.

listening to music more often this year, especially while creating, has been so cathartic for me after the turbulence of last year

apropos of nothing but it's funny how certain folks will always try to chase the style of studio ghibli/miyazaki but only on a surface level and never tackle the themes of environmentalism, anti-war, and empathy i.e. the stuff that made those movies masterpieces

You hate Disney live action remakes cuz you hate women and minorities

I hate Disney live action remakes cuz I hate shallow appeals to nostalgia and the framing of animation as a lesser medium, we are not the same
