The fact that not enough people use this shit-ass technology that is always wrong and it costs too much to constantly maintain so it can't ever make any profit is, to me, very fucking funny.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

idk who needs to hear this but you can't live your whole life deciding what other people think about you. if someone criticized your work or disagreed with you and you decide they hate you personally you're crossing out chances to build actual genuine relationships with people

Trying to remember how I draw Jester. Don't think she's quite there yet. Someone once commented that I drew her like the dog girlfriend from a Disney movie. The highest compliment I've ever received and I've been trying to recapture that high ever since.

This is a great movie but also please be extremely warned that it's 2 hours of people being explicitly transphobic to the main trans character and you shouldn't have that take you by surprise because no one seems to mention it
Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

Got vaccinated for covid again so I'm ready to be unable to use my left arm for like 4 days

i'd read a study if there's a correlation between picture imagination vs the use/defense of genAI. because it could go two ways:
a) people who struggle to picture things use genAI more as help w/ visualization
b) people who have a very detailed imagination use genAI more to make their vision happen
What’s your score on the apple test?
