I know the enshittifcation cycle, Provide a service way under value and hope consumers get so hooked they can't live without it, Then keep raising costs and slapping more ads. It happened with media. Your brain and wallet will thank you for not depending on genAI. (5/5)
But because of how insanely expensive it is, I have a beacon of hope. That once the corporations have hooked enough consumers - they will then heavily charge and restrict public use of them. It won't stop entirely - but a lot of the craze will be gone due to how unsustainable it is. (4/5)
Honestly, I wish genAI was just a casual tool for ideas and occasional silly media. Unfortunately, it's turned into a common tool to harass, waste peoples time, decieve and otherwise not pay artists who could really use the money. And not to mention the environmental impact. (3/5)
The beauty of art for me is self expression, not mass produced copies. It's a very hard pill to swallow that your work will end up in an img2img model at some point. The best tools we got now - is support for work made with hand, shaming surefire fakers and more importantly - ignoring. (2/5)
In event of what's happening with gen AI right now...DON'T give up as an artist! It can only regurgitate together what other artists made. If every human artist was to stop, we'd be in a stale loop devoid of personal expression. (1/5)
I've had a hyperfixation for the past few months I've had to keep lowkey, cause I'm paranoid of those who manage such things will restrict me (of course, it's been happening without but that's inevitable). It's not illegal though and I'm starting to wind away from it.
For reference (I made some carving mistakes forgive me..) bsky.app/profile/trey...
Happy halloween! I made a carving based off Theyetee's splatoween Big Man! No sponsor, just thought his expression would make a great jack-o-lantern. First time etching. #splatoon3 #pumpkincarving
For me it's not discourse, there's just not much of interest to me anymore. I don't get the same joy I used to either.
Not dead, just kinda burnt out on social media
Just a reminder before the βbig announcementβ today.
Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.
Tylenol wasnβt widely used until the 1950s.
Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isnβt someone that should be taken seriously.
Funny how these types of mass surveillance laws disguised as "child safety" are always pushed for in the US and Europe at exactly the same time.

A long time ago for a college trial course, I was forced to collaborate on a large, still life piece...and could only start from paint, with no advice. I was supposed to draw part of a doll and it unintentionally came out phallic, with no time to fix. I tried not to die of embarrassment.
Mockup drawing of a UK parliament petition where the petitioner has asked for "good thing please" with description "we think the UK needs this". Government responded: "No."
Every UK petition is like this
the UK Online Safety Act might be the most staggeringly unpopular piece of legislation passed in my lifetime and that's really saying something considering Brexit was not that long ago lol
absolutely tremendous own goal for an already deeply unpopular government, bravo, please fuck off forever

Finishing off evil clones for real. After this I'll be taking a break from streaming custom levels, so lets go out with a bang! (those who followed me for art will be glad...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD3_... #jazzjackrabbit2
Continuing from where I left off. Lets finish off Evil clones! #jazzjackrabbit #jazzjackrabbit2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v19...

(I swear I will have some new art up soon)
Rather then question why I feel easily upset before that time of the month, I've slowly come to accept that I tend to react out of line, even if not expressed. I don't like it, but I can't logic myself out of them. But it's better to be aware, right?
Trying to rationalise every piece of emotion you have sounds good on paper, but there's many other factors to think about. Irrationality is part of what makes someone human, whether it's good or bad.
