friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

Illustration of Hornet, a character from Hollow Knight and Silksong. She's posing with a leg bent and another pointing down as if jumping gracefully. She holds her nail on the side, with a thread of silk twirling around.

Framed.

#art #fanart #clairObscur #e33 #expedition33 #coe33

Verso stands in front of a framed canvas. The canvas is sliced, and the frame is broken and burning. Verso is holding his sword and parrying dagger and standing among the flamed, looking back at the viewer like he's daring them to pass judgement on him.

If anything good has come from gen AI, it’s that I couldn’t give half a shit anymore if people think my art is bad or cringe

4 panel comic starring a character that is absolutely not Mickey Mouse.

It starts with Not Mickey waving to us with a big smile on his face, standing in a pleasant looking meadow. After an "AW HAW," he greets us by saying "er, hiya folks!"

Panel 2, the POV pans in, so Not Mickey fills the frame. He is now backlit, shifting the mood somewhat. With a hand outstretched, he says "goin' inta this new year, I want ya all ta know sumthin'"

Panel 3. NM's face, now looking disturbingly over-rendered, fills the frame, his wide eyes staring into us. He continues: "I OWN you. Right down to your component atoms."

Panel 4. NM, back to his loveable cartoon self --hands clasped behind him-- begins to float into the air, leaving a puff of dust in his wake. He is surrounded by a glow of cosmic energy.

We finish with him saying "ANYhoo. I'm off ta conquer a third world country."

The thing that gets me about this is that even if we wanted to make a positive AI ad, they never showcase AI being used to enhance someone’s day or improve their workflow. There’s no “it allows me to more easily do what I love.” It’s always presented as a failsafe for the dispassionate and incurious

Lady Emily ☄️ @ladyemily.nebula.tv · 2d

Every ad for AI is like

Person: FUCK!! I don’t know what to get my loved one for Christmas!!!!!! I love them so much!!! Tell me what to do, AI!!

AI: get sock

Title Card: You are literally the smartest person for doing this

"Speaking to people within the environmental and sustainability tech sector, estimates put AI Overview searches as being 10x more costly than a traditional search result."

Insane that Google isn't required by law to turn this feature off..
