im never using AI but you people are so beyond dense, its not on all the clients to sift through thousands of artists to see which few deliver. This has been an ONGOING problem for years.
YOU are pushing your own clients to AI and are acting too pretentious to even see how
SUPPORTING HUMAN ARTISTS DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE ALL PERFECT! If someone takes your money, ghosts you, or fails to deliver, that's unprofessional, and you are allowed to be upset.
BUT let's not pretend that being mistreated by some artists justifies turning to generative AI.
You're entitled to find another solution, just as artists are entitled to refuse commissions if they don't want to work with someone who uses generative AI.
You can criticize unreliable artists without dismissing the concerns of artists who oppose AI.
The problem isn't that artists are driving customers toward AI! The problem is treating generative AI as a solution to a problem that deserves to be addressed.

I used to be bad about texting people back and flaking.
Then I said “wow I don’t want to be an unreliable loser anymore” so I stopped.
There’s no secret recipe, you just have to decide you want to be better and until then you’re a net negative to the people around you.

Flying high!
Today, our X-59 quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft traveled from Birmingham, Alabama, to Daytona Beach, Florida. The aircraft aims to fly faster than sound with just a gentle thump rather than a sonic boom — helping usher in a new era of faster air travel.
We're prepping to feature X-59 at MAX POWER and will provide updates soon!

There is no secret cabal running the world. The consistent bad decisions from leaders you see are due to ideology and entropy. They don’t have to coordinate. Decay is the default. Blame democracy itself, not its figureheads. Government incentives are bad.

It wasn’t the wildfire that did her in; the Palisades held their nose and voted for her, and the rest of LA doesn’t care about the Palisades. They had their own reasons. South Central hates Karen cuz she abandoned them in favor of criminal migrants. Boyle Heights hates her for the warehouse fire. DTLA hates her for the bums. Hollywood hates her for the restaurant collapse and water main breaks. When Nithya presides over the same intractable issues in LA, they will hate her all the same. LA needed radical change. Not a change in radicals.

The concept of an entirely different species learning how to perfectly mimic the vocalizations your species makes to signal hostility is terrifying. Imagine a bear running at you and then just screaming "IM GONNA RIP YOUR SPINE OUT" in perfect english

None of you people understand how conservation works oh my god IT’S AN ENDANGERED SPECIES YOU DUMB FUCKS
Imagine going out to catch lunch, only for lunch to fight back!
That's exactly what happened to a female cheetah near Aruba in Tsavo East National Park, Kenya, when a hunt took an unexpected turn.
Instead of walking away with a full stomach, she ended up with a deep wound on her inner left shoulder, likely caused by the horn of her prey as she tried to bring it down.
Luckily, our KWS Tsavo Veterinary Team came to her rescue! They carefully stitched up her shoulder, treated a scrape on her right knee and provided the care she needed to get back on her paws. Her chances of recovery are looking promising!
And then came the most important part of recovery: a little room service, wilderness edition! 😁
Every wildlife rescue is another chance to give our wild a fighting chance.

Immature men look for mothering from their girlfriends when they should be looking for a woman who contains the Great Father: grounded in herself, principled, expresses her yes/no very clearly. Immature women look for a father in their boyfriends when they should be looking for a man who contains the Great Mother - safety, warmth, cares for himself and others, holds and sustains life.

This is why you shouldn’t listen to any right wingers panicking about this election. Yeah, it’s bad. Yeah it shows that the country is (very understandably) unhappy with Trump’s administration, but it’s not even close to unprecedented.
You can definitely say “this is bad for Trump”, but you shouldn’t say, “THIS IS THE END OF THE PARTY AS WE KNOW IT.”
