It really does feel like the internet is useless — crammed full with sponsored ads, incorrect summaries, and seo tactics.

Cross country road trip is in full effect, once I’m out of the country I plan on sharing all the pictures of tasty foods.
I spent all of yesterday grinding old tree stumps, the body is bruised. Tanned. Labored.
App for this app for that but what is AI doing about people who wear perfume to restaurants
Rainy season is upon us and it’s needed with all the fires

I guess it boils down toactual discourse vs filler. High quality content vs low effort content.
Everyone has access to video editing software and can rip a series online, so in a way I can understand why Youtube is flooded with this kind of low effort content.
It’s just a bummer to see.
This isn’t to say I’m against video essays as a whole, I think Contrapoints does them well. It’s research presented with applicable visuals — not a rehashing of content for likes and subs. She also designs sets and backdrops which add to the video aesthetically.
Part of it is because I’m staunchly against gen ai, as an illustrator all I see is unsanctioned creative theft.
The other part is this isn’t any different from reposters who recut short form with an artificial voice over (usually stolen from reddit).
My youtube recommendations have been flooded with a very specific style of video essay where all of the visuals have been ripped from a single show/series.
I don’t like it.
One day I’ll feel rested again… one day.
Camping for the last five days has left me perma-tired

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.
Okay so now that flashes is a thing, my illustration account needs to be strictly a beautiful curated feed right? That's what I've learned from other platforms??? @flashes.blue
Welp, looks like I'll need to confine all of my Hades 2 posts to this account now
I hiked KoKo Head and my legs are absolutely shot 😵💫
Saw a cowboy bebop one live once, jazz band style.
Think they got here around the time anime/band kids of the 90s hit 30. 🤷🏼♂️

Dear Diary, turned off auto-correct and now all mu friends think that I’ve had a stroke.
The upper class really is nervous right now.
