having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you:

you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.

The last three books about the Choctaw language & culture that I've bought have *ALL* turned out to be just AI-generated junk🀬

It's genuinely infuriating to see this careless nonsense happening, as it dilutes the actual language and culture and makes it harder for me to learn about my own humanity

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes β€œI love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

a digital redraw of gustav klimt's "the kiss" where a green wireframe man embraces a demure android woman, kissing her cheek. classic windows 98 UI styled patterns adorn their clothes. the man's drapery features a bunch of overlapping windows, all with gibberish text and inverted colors. the woman's dress is filled with lots of different desktop icons in varying sizes. there's a faint glitchy cloud texture over the background, and the hill they kneel on is covered in circuit patterns and loose plugs.

A 2ft by 3ft vertical print being held up for the camera. In the centre are 4 characters (3 women and one robotic man), all loomed over in some way by their own unique threats. Surrounding them are the several vignettes of our adventures and threats we faced in our campaign.

I don't usually post about this, but... it's my birthday!! And for my birthday, you should check out what I finished this week after months of work: a HUGE commemorative piece to celebrate our 1st D&D campaign!

It's the most ambitious single piece I've ever attempted. I can't wait to frame it!!
