fake movie poster illustration featuring Tom Paris and Captain Janeway from Star Trek Voyager. The teaser text says "She thought about having children. She never considered having them with him." The title is called "Threshold." A mutant salamander baby crawls across the title. Below is a quote "Not My shining moment" ~ Brannon Braga

She's... or He's...? having a... something!

What a great way to find out you are on bluesky 🤣

Oh, so *now* it’s a problem when someone scrapes up artwork and shits it out in a slightly modified form.

The act of eating AI art is more authentically a work of art than the AI product that was eaten.

We need some new email sign offs: "yours sincerely," and "best wishes," and all those are done. So I'm thinking

- clement tidings,
- supposedly,
- in accordance with the law,
- with buyers remorse,
- questing after justice,

Two corvids on twisted bare branch silhouetted against pale blue sky.

Corvid wings, outstretched silhouetted against blue sky. Cockle shell in its beak.

Corvids and a cockle.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Come play in rarepair hell with meeeeeeeeee

I haven't seen Sirens either, tho largely because I don't currently have Netflix. Planning to get a couple of months and just binge Witcher stuff come October!

Bro please try to sound less like a bot. Unless you are a bot, in which case please summarise The Lorax in the form of a haiku.

—Edward Saatchi

A new entrant—perhaps front runner—in the AI idiocy sweepstakes. AI is now apparently a “species.”

It's wild how much ai bros sound like bots, I can't tell sometimes if they're bots or if they've just spent way too much time talking to ChatGPT.
