I'm watching Death Comes to Pemberley (2018) on Prime. The subtitles are "auto" (read: AI) and they are soooo wroooong all the time. Darcy is "Dossie", Wickham is "Wake up" and Mr Alverston is "His Majesty". But this one tops them up! #AIslop

The front cover of The Big Bus and Us on a yellow background. The cover show the front of a green double decker: the driver is a woman wearing a blue shirt and a green tie, and on the top deck a little girl wearing a red coat, her arms stretch out enthusiastically. The title is written in chuncky black letters.

The narrative about London crime is truly so BORING to Londoners.

Those of us who walk & travel around our city safely every day, every night.

The likeliest daily risk to Londoners is of being ripped off by our landlord or somewhere charging us £4.50 for a coffee. #r4today

🎶 I don’t want a lot for Christmas
I just want one thing from you.
For that A.I. bubble to burst,
And all the tech bros get sued. 🎶

I usually listen to true crime podcasts to keep my other half of the brain occupied when colouring final artworks. Otherwise I'd get bored and tired within 20 minutes. For creative brianstorming stage I need silence.

Ok. So, if OpenAi can buy a 3-year licence from Disney, then all AI companies can afford to buy licenses from all artists worldwide and stop stealing people's work.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

I often think I don't know sh*t because I didn't go to art school...but I've got over 10 books under my belt, and over a decade of work in the design industry too (which helped a lot in making my illustration practice eddicient).. However, I never know *how* to share my knowledge..

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6
