these ai coding platforms made the mistake of trying to use a subscription model for something that lights up the same dopamine receptors as gambling. all genAI has some RNG baked in, so you end up with users rerunning prompts to get a good result like they're pulling the lever on a slot machine.

And what do Visa, Mastercard, Paypal and all the other payment processors say about this? Or is adult content just not allowed to be commercialized by independent artists and sex workers?

If I wanted Marilyn Monroe in Game of Thrones I can just imagine it. I don't even need to close my eyes, just put on the soundtrack while zoning out on the threadmill for an hour. Basically free and I don't need to burn one billion chips.

Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

i think the 2005-2015 era open source boom was built on a nice job environment where people had a little free time and employers believed in creativity

the free time dried up, everyone burned out, 2015-2025 open source has been explicitly targeted toward getting funding & making money. what's next?

The problem with computer jobs is that it's all in your head. You can't touch or eat the code you write, it's too abstract. You need to find something to make with your hands if you want to stay okay

I get a lot of "cozy hobbies" video recommendations so I've seen a lot of coloring book content but why are thr coloring pages so fucking ugly. Even cheap Disney Princess coloring books look a lot more fun than those "cozy" atrocities.

watched #otgw for the first time since it aired so I drew a bunch of fanart, here's Wirt but I'll post everyone else eventually too 🍂

#artpost

illustrations of Wirt, the main character of Over the Garden Wall. He's a lanky white teenager with brown hair and a thin face, wearing a halloween costume of a cape, suspenders and a gnome hat. Various points in the animated miniseries are reinterpreted here, including making a mixtape for his crush Sara, being annoyed by Beatrice the bluebird, and some of his expressions from dialogue that may be a bit spoilery

Yes, forcing users to upload documents for age verification is going to end very badly.

Collecting sensitive documents, like ID is an especially bad idea.

Do not collect shit that you do not need to collect, ever.

If it's not collected it can't be leaked.

That is all.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I think this is half the goal of AI for those seeking a post-truth order. Yes, they can produce fake evidence against people they don’t like, but probably more importantly they can dismiss actual evidence against them as being fake.

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

There's an interesting problem in digital preservation, which is that preservation only exists actively. Only the things you actively move to new formats, survives.

Community is probably the same way: it has to be actively maintained in order to outlive whatever spot it's currently in.

All these articles positing Tilly Norwood as a star and wondering when the first A.I. actor will win an Oscar are being brought to you by the same tech-bro companies who are spending billions to normalize this shit. Ignore. Create. Use your soul. It’s all we have—and it’s all we need to create Art.
