Telling another cowboy to stand down:

The world is still quiet, and nothing is alive; it's like a big yawn before you get out of bed.

That said, my sleep has been ass. Not sure why. I keep waking up multiple times through the night. I might try hammock sleeping again, as that was the first time I had uninterrupted sleep in years.

I've been working a temp night-shift job and as a result been a lot more strict about my sleep schedule, which has (somehow) made it to where I'm waking up earlier and earlier. There's something tranquil about the early morning and watching the sunrise, moving at a leisurely pace to start the day ☀️

Some #fanart of #AlbertWesker cause #RErequiem got me rewatching #RE5 cutscenes. “You disappoint me, Chris…”

This is true and I think it happened more than once 🤣

Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work.

The AI Boom Wasn’t Built for the Polycrisis “There are too many ways for it to fail for it not to fail.”

The AI economy looks...really precarious. So @matteowong.bsky.social & I did a bunch of reporting to try to figure out what happens when a potential bubble collides with a war in Iran and a potential resource shortage. The answer is...arguably the most dire stuff i've heard from smart ppl in a while

I think it's all an emperor-has-no-clothes situation and it's high time everyone yells it loud and clear. The parallels with the current political situation cannot be understated because it's the same people profiting from both!

Walmart fires OpenAI in playbook-changing move After a failed experiment with agentic AI, Walmart is taking shoppers' experiences back into its own hands.

Don't forget, Walmart canned OpenAI too:

And more:

just this week:

-- OpenAI killed Sora
-- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI
-- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content

...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop.

I want our World Wide Web back.

Not saying names but someone whose name rhymes with @silieth.bsky.social does this on the regular

You're a goddamned dork 🦆

I really love the first one the best for pulling us to the eyes! I don't have any particularly intelligent reason why, just sort of a "gut reaction"!

Here’s a cover I illustrated for the upcoming D&D book, Ravenloft: The Horrors Within. It was such a joy to paint Strahd again 🦇

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

It's incredible how thin-skinned people who post gen-ai images are when it comes to criticism. Just heartbroken when people don't praise something they didn't even make! The world's worst Harry Potter fan-artist has more integrity.
