My mate @npzr.bsky.social is an absolute gun of a photographer and will be in Melbs April 3 - 8, so if you need headshots, glamour pix, band photos, whatevs, hit him up. And I'm sure he'll drop some work examples in the thread so I don't have to.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

Remember this if nothing else about ai detection software: It doesn’t work; don’t use it. A 🧵…

It false-flags neurodivergent ppl at a scary rate, further reducing their access. It cannot detect the most up to date ai generated text (false negatives).

Three images showing photographers in a studio, standing around a black curtained area with a projector and a 'Windows' logo etched onto a glass pane. The lower image shows a version of the iconic blue windows background, with blue lasers outlining and passing through an angled Windows logos against a dark background.

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

This is such a great idea. Digitizing films that never made it to Blu-Ray or Streaming.

At least the DVDs already have digital files on 'em and could be directly and cleanly ripped.

The VHSs need to be digitized in real time, glad someone is doing that on this scale.
