I’ve really been grinding on the fundamentals behind the scenes lately, here’s my latest hour of 60sec gestures. Short gesture drawings are my fav warmup and I love seeing other peoples’ so I try to share mine occasionally for those out there who feel the same!

We're still looking for DC / MD / VA game designers to include in our catalog of locally-designed games. Card games, TTRPGs, board games, journaling games -- if our local retail shops can sell it, we want to promote it!

Develop “concept art”?? 💀 💀 💀
All the image models solely rely on stolen work of countless of artists to function at capacity.
Using them not only is deeply unethical but puts the company at risk.
Not worth it and I truly hope ( hell, I’m begging) that they reconsider 😭

anyways be kind to your creatives and be a bit forgiving with us if we don’t seem as cheerful as usual and crash out every now and then- we’re all collectively having a rough one since idk 2021 or so
Nah I feel you and it’s valid to crash out from time to time. We’re all feeling the strain and we’re carrying so much. Someone with your experience should have it made, but this awful industry just continues to spit on us

I made a machine steal the work of a real human being. It's almost as if the stolen work it regurgitated seems like it was written by a real human being. Instead of giving that credit to the breathing person it was stolen from... perhaps the theft machine is actually alive??

The product is just dependence on mind poison. Study after study has shown people using GPT think they are more productive but are empirically not. It is just a button you press that delivers hits of dopamine completely unrelated to the world around you.

I’ve been going though my hard drive all weekend and I now have an additional 300 or so paintings I’d like to make, I’ll probably do like 3 or 4, I’ll make them exclusive to coerce you
Remember these old paintings I used to do, would you like to buy a pdf that collects all 70+ of them together? If you make me feel really good maybe we can bump it up to 80, 90? Probably not

Yes, literacy is important -- but literacy means more than "how to use X". It also includes understanding what X (here, LLMs) is and when NOT to use them.
Synthetic text that reads as authoritative but for which no one is accountable is poison to the information ecosystem.

If you can take a food safety course, it would likely be an excellent investment in your health.
This is devastating and it’s egregious the public weren’t notified when they stopped the surveillance program.
It’s a cull. They want to kill off the “weak” so only the strong (and rich) survive.

A federal-state partnership that monitors for foodborne illnesses quietly scaled back its operations nearly two months ago.
As of July 1, the critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight, a spokesperson for the CDC says.
