Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

I had a neurospicy acquaintance with MS, who did freelance art. Her style was similar to what early AI slop produced.

Her commissions dried up. She became a couch surfer, depressed, lost her insurance and access to her meds.

Then killed herself.

Every AI data center should burn for her pyre.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

These are the icy mountains of Pluto. It took 9 years to get these magnificent images… and 4.8 billion kilometers.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

On Sunday I traveled to the middle of the desert to capture this: The ISS against our sun. What I didn't expect: the sun producing a magnificent flare at the same time

A once-in-a-lifetime shot I'm thrilled to share with you. See the uncropped shot or get the print in the reply

I've never felt a closer kinship to an animal than I do the absolute rancid disapproval on the face of this shoebill stork.
