I don't think artists can actually stop the onslaught of AI bc tech companies have invested too much money in it to walk away from it now (I'm sure there'll be a tech burst in the coming years bc of it though), but I do think one way we can defend against AI is to be uniquely weird in our art

When my dad worked in a laundromat, he found all sorts of coins people used to stick in the machines: wheat pennies, Eisenhower dollars, Indian head cents. The l’mat was tough; his health suffered after years of 15-hour days. But he collected them for me—he found beauty in them and wanted me to, too

Being published alongside so many of the names in this issue is crazy business for me. I'm so excited to be in it and so grateful to have had @puneetdutt.bsky.social believe in this little story. If you have 5 mins on this Monday, give "The Quiet Room" a read.
