I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

Generative AI is just a giant billboard that says ā€œI didn’t care about making the thing, but I still expect you to engage with it. I bet you can’t even tell, you idiot. Fuck you.ā€ I’ve never felt more deeply committed to making handmade things than I do now. āœļø

I know people don’t want to make the connection, but being defiant and unapologetic in the face of clearly doing some shit that is wrong is a direct result of the last decade of political climate.

What's amazing to me is that, 10 years apart, there are the exact same clouds in the exact same positions. DC truly is a magical place

My personal experience with AI is that most of the gen AI companies have offered me buckets of money (house money!) to publicly endorse their tools and claim they are central to my creativity (have turned them all down). What's interesting is that there are SO many people who are hyped about these tools who should be getting the bag instead of me. So all I can gather is that these companies are throwing money around to control the story about who their tools are for. Seems like they'll pay anything to have non-AI folks endorse the AI tools.

Check out this treasure of a film by the talented, creative, and sweet Ambriz Brothers… both because it’s delightful and also because when original voices succeed, we get more cool and interesting stuff to watch, so we all win.

one of the many downsides to AI is that I feel like it’s starting to numb people to good work
