Before tonight's game we held a moment of silence in memoriam of Charlie Kirk.
Kirk founded the youth activist group “Turning Point USA” and had become a fixture on college campuses. Charlie Kirk, a husband and father of two children, was 31 years old.

Had no idea how hard it was to commission a custom stained glass piece. Reached out to almost 30 studios. Only one response in the negative! Anyone by chance do custom stained glass or know someone? It is a fairly complex piece. You know me :)

Using generative AI is like getting caught with a lock picking kit and someone else's property, and going, "It's just a tool, and this is fair use."

You cannot be creative without creating something. An idea is nothing without execution, and how an idea is executed matters just as much as the idea itself, sometimes more. Having an idea and asking a machine do the majority of the work for you isn't creativity and it isn't art.

Synthetic data is just another term for data laundering. They're training new AI models on output from other models in order to distance themselves from the stolen source data and make up for the fact they're running out of human created data. Copies of copies of copies.

If you believe in the future, stay away from AI.
At first you may feel like you've been left behind. Don't worry -- think, read, write, take time to develop your abilities.
Be present.
When the AI madness passes (yes, it will pass) your skills will be more valuable than ever.

In Fahrenheit 451, the abolition of reading began with tech companies simplifying books into summaries that you could read in five minutes. Because people no longer engaged with the texts, they forgot how to think. Then came the book-burnings.

One of my biggest concerns (among many) in using ai for art:
It forgoes the process of transformation.
Part of the joy of working is developing and progressing. It’s investing in craft and artistry.
This does not mean that ai, like many digital tools, can potentially facilitate transformation and add a tool to your arsenal of brushes/ pencils/ etc. But when it substitutes it entirely, where is the fun or joy in that?
I personally love the hard work required to make something beautiful. Like training for a sub 5 min mile: much of the joy is in the journey as well as the destination.

I'm preparing for my digital lent. Last year was truly enjoyable, and it's a mindfulness experience to step away from social media and the nonstop news.

📰 Identical front page on every UK paper today, with homepage takeovers too. Only 2nd time this has happened.
As editors and reporters we fear for the future of quality journalism - with unlawful scraping of content (theft) by AI firms. #MakeItFair

Generative AI is so damaging it got all the UK papers to unite against it. How's that for some solidarity 🇬🇧

It is both funny and sad that some of us strive to achieve what was very common 100 years ago:
- heating home with firewood
- fresh, real food
- dark skies
Where did we go wrong?

Very happy to show this finished comission for @Mud_and_Blood!
Shown is an english city set around the 1500'S.
The piece was drawn using Procreate on iPad.

Been saying this for a minute. The second you use AI for something you're an expert in, you have the ability to see it for what it is, slop. It's only impressive if you trust it blindly on things you have little knowledge or understanding of, which is problematic to say the least
After using Deep Research for a while, I finally get the "it's just slop" complaint people have about AI art.
Because I don't care much about art, most AI art seems pretty good to me. But information is something where I'm much closer to a connoisseur, and Deep Research is just nowhere near a good human output. It's not useless, I think maybe ~20% of the time I get something I'm satisfied with. Even then, there's this kind of hall-of-mirrors quality to the output, I can't fully trust it, it's subtly distorted. I feel like I’m wading through epistemic pollution.
Obviously it’s going to improve, and probably quite rapidly. If it read 10x more sources, thought 100x longer, and had 1000x lower error rate, I think that would do it. So no huge leap required, just turning some knobs, it’s definitely going to get there. But at the same time, it’s quite jarring to me that a large fraction of people already find the outputs compelling.

Here are some photos of the painting that I recently finished. The painting is 39,4”x 27,6” (100cm x70cm) made in oils on linen canvas.
