Generative AI is a predator, an existential risk to art careers. While I'm confident many artists will figure out a way forward, many kind and talented people will be left by the wayside if we continue to normalize corporate exploitation in this field. Article in next post 👇

Tel Aviv University invites students to come volunteer on an IOF base, packaging combat rations for the soldiers committing genocide on the front lines. Now would be a good time for all global institutions to start boycotting Israeli academia - it is fully complicit in genocide.

This is not a joke. You should very much consider Elon Musk and Peter Thiel to be co-Presidents of the United States. You will not understand how they have become the first trillionaires on Earth, or a significant chunk of our domestic or foreign policy, if you do not get this.
