as if beauty standards haven’t become unrealistic enough, now girls will be competing with and comparing themselves to women who aren’t even real. incredible work everyone
Vogue’s August issue has begun to use “AI models” instead of human models for some of their photoshoots. xitter.gq/CANDYN3CKLCE/status/19…

I just don’t get wanting to experience a piece of art that wasn’t made by a human. I don’t get the point.

You just can't make this stuff up. Head of US Health and Human Services celebrates the release of his fraudulent report with a "health influencer" by consuming a product deemed dangerous by the agencies he oversees. Make it make sense. 🤦🏾‍♀️

The TODAY Show recommends N95s, vaccines, and frequent testing to dodge the potentially forthcoming NB.1.8.1 summer wave. 💉💪😷 The U.S. government recommends against vaccines for children and pregnant people. 🤦

Reminder that the ICC ruled that all Israeli settlers - ALL of them -- have to leave the West Bank, which is fully and legally Palestinian land.

No offense but it's 2025, as an artist, whether you support generative AI, don't support it or secretly support it, don't pretend you have no idea why other artists hate it. It's not irrational new technology hate, it's opposition to corporate exploitation of your peers artworks.

Taking no credit for this quote but we should stop calling it "ai art" and start calling it computer-rendered artificial pictures (C.R.A.P.)

Israel just committed the largest child massacre in its history. Why hasn’t a single Western media outlet made this front page news?

There’s nothing efficient about shutting down U.S. National Parks when they collectively bring in over $55B a year yet cost over $3.5B a year to upkeep. This is the kind of stupid bullshit what you do when you deliberately want to crash the economy.

I was recently floored by a line of dialogue in a children’s book—“We don’t ignore bigotry, Jack. That’s how cowardly bigots turn into brave bigots”—if you were wondering why children’s books are important, and why there has been so much concerted effort to ban them.

I don't think people realize how incredible it is that a movie rendered in nearly real-time in free software on a single computer just won the Oscar for best animated film. If there was ever any proof you don't need AI, this is it.
Flow was made entirely with Blender and rendered in real time with EEVEE. We didn't use a renderfarm. The final render was done on my PC. There was no compositing, all the colors were tweaked and adjusted using shaders.

We’ve got avian flu, measles, tuberculosis, influenza A and B, and norovirus going around in addition to COVID, without the ability to properly track it all because of the CDC information blackout. If you’re someone who set aside masking, I urge you to pick it back up.

If you know me you know I rarely go out of my way to praise Bernie, but there’s absolutely no one meeting this moment like he is An 83 year-old is doing a better job of harnessing anti-MAGA anger & plainly explaining the stakes — online & in-person — than anyone in the Dem Party
With 2,600 friends in Omaha, NE (plus another 800 in overflow). Unreal energy for @BernieSanders in one of the most vulnerable Republican districts in the country.
