And then you had that dream again.

[nothorses]

you do kind of have to actively shape how you feel a little bit. you can't just like, passively wait for the world to impress and inspire you. you have to choose to look for it & you have to choose to find it.

Yeah, like I see people talking about how Socialist or Communist systems kill those who can no longer work and I'm like "SO DOES YOUR SYSTEM!".

The Insurance companies kill people by denying them life saving procedures. Also as soon as someone becomes too sick to work the system ditches them and they die due to either sickness or despair from the medical debt.

When I was young and dumb I was working as a contractor without health insurance, I ended up in the hospital for 4 days with a small bowel obstruction due to adhesion. Freak incident, would never have seen it coming, but if I hadn't gone in there's a decent chance I would have died in an extreme amount of pain at home.

A month later I got a bill for just shy of TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. At that point I was making maybe about $36k gross per year.

So yeah, that debt stuck with me for almost a decade as I paid it off.

Awesome system huh?

I was already pretty left-leaning, but my full jump occurred when I learned just how little money you were allowed to have to qualify for food stamps. At first I thought, "That's sensible since we don't want to give rich people free food." Thankfully my immediate next thought was, "Wait, why do I care if a rich person got a free meal if it means someone in great need gets to live?"

[wildmansters]

The thing that really boils my potatoes about AI in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this AI generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the AI Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

[tyrannosaurus-rex]

That grace and flexibility was never possible for you, a human artist, because no matter what YOU have to be paid for your work. That grace and flexibility didnt exist until the lower quality work came at a virtually negligible price.
