Placeholders are supposed to be crude MSPaint drawings made with 0 effort by a programmer! They're supposed to look like dogshit because then you know to replace them!
Sorry I think using AI for placeholders is also bad
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know you only care about finished art but placeholder art also needs to be made by a human being who also needs to be paid for that

But placeholder midjourney slop cuts that artist out

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
Here he is taking the photo.

Lost my job today.

Full portfolios are at www.dakotacurry.com if you're interested in perusing

Thanks for everything <3 <3 <3

It's been a hell of a year; today is the last work day for Dual Wield Studio before our winter holiday break, and looking back on everything we've tackled with our small team this year alone has been intense. I wrote a short retrospective summary about it here: dualwieldstudio.com/blogs/news/2...
2025 Year in Review
Hello and happy December to you; I’m Zara Varin, President and Creative Director of Dual Wield Studio. As 2025 winds down and our team prepares to enjoy our winter holiday break, we’ve taken some time...

His name is White Terrence and he’s like a stupid Black Phillip and says “I wanna live pretty yummy I guess!” @drskorzy.bsky.social got him for me from a vendor in Palm Springs bc he was the most fucked up one. When we play Settlers of Catan we use him as the robber baron. I love him.

only things I saw that piqued my interest before I left for bed were Grandma Chickenfeet Game and Cute '80s Space Anime Game. I don't have a Switch 2, so at least I only have to budget for one game now. 👍🏻

I know there's a lot of other massive problems with "AI," but as a techie and a PC builder I am GODDAMNED FUCKING SICK of some stupid hype bubble designed to fleece investors and nothing else ruining my hobby.

Your crypto shit took all the video cards. Your "AI" took GPUs *and* RAM.

Fuck you all.

Saw this video of Tristan Harris on Diary of a CEO sharing what AI-tech bros have shared regarding their motivations pursuing this technology. It’s horrifying.

These tech ghouls have us all on a suicide mission because of their EGOS. 🫠

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

People hate AI slop!

Still so excited for everyone who showed up to this yesterday! It was stunning to see a sea of creatives overwhelm that tiny hearing. We had an overflow room of artists and the line for 30 second public commentary literally had to be cut off!

You made a huge difference
yesterday.

Thank you!
