The Pinned Post

Hi I'm Ash and this is my sideblog for. Anything. Main is @ashmcgivern

I tag sensitive topics. If you wish to mute them, the most common ones I tag specifically are #religion and #politics. You can figure out the other ones I use just by looking at my post history.

Other tags that I use that maybe aren't intuitive are....

#op there it is - things I agree with, a very "SAY IT LOUDER" vibe

#ITS BACK - reserved for posts that I either havent seen in a long time or that I feel deserve to be in the big rotation

#omfg - the funniest shit, stuff I wanna see again for a laugh

That's all you get out of me BYE

I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.

I just watched a video on companies admitting AI is actually useless and having massive losses over using it; I'm excited by this!

The woman who created the video said the strategy for AI was to push it into every possible app, service and program, hoping it would become a neccesary convenience and people would eventually depend on it and become willing to pay for it. But it never became that; all surveys showed that 90% of people wanted nothing to do with AI and CEO's didn't want to hear it.

There's been protests and vandalizing over the build of Data centers, which is a bit louder than filling out a survey, so they know by now a lot of people are ready to fight against it.

That gives me hope, maybe we'll get to experience post-AI internet. I've been refusing to reblog so much art and photography, basically limiting myself to people I personally know took the photos or accounts that swore to research every single thing they post. It's been sad! Artists and photographers missing out on attention they deserve and me missing out on having a blog filled with photos and art.

I imagine in post-AI internet it will be so rare to stumble on a piece of AI art, I'll be able to use tumblr normally again. And if someone does insist on posting AI they get outed and cancelled, and all the AI is like 5yrs old because you can't generate more.

What else do you think might change? We get rid of the AI summary? People no longer go into AI psychosis? Level of literacy goes up? Price of utilities goes down? Global warming levels get sorted out? Finally some stuff to look forward to! Not that I expect they'll give up and we'll just wake up with no AI one day. But any withdrawal of the disease is the reason to celebrate.

The video I watched is be the "Skullie by the sea" on youtube if you wanna go check it out!

we bought a shirt at a thrift store that says "best mom in louisiana" for some reason (as a reminder we are in midwest germany) and now my spouse keeps walking around the house wearing it and saying shit like "WHO STANDS BEFORE THE GREATEST MOM OF LOUISIANA?"

 🛑 Stop Working for Exposure (Mathematically)

I'm an artist and medical student, and I use art to help me pay some bills.

I built a free, helpful tool because to help prevent other talented creatives from undercharging, as I really see this a lot online.

It's a calculator with a built in reality check

Input your survival costs and expenses

True billable hours

Get the rate you actually need to charge to hit a 20% (or whatever you choose) profit margin.

It generates the rate, a template negotiation email + final invoice.

Plan to keep this tool free, ad-free, and open to everyone.

🔗 Check your math: fairpaycalc.artres.xyz

If the "Thriving Rate" calculation empowers you to double your quote on your next job, please consider hitting the "Buy me a coffee"button. It keeps the server running and the code flowing <3

I am an artist and medical student and creator of Art-Res, a blog where I write and curate art resources. Hopefully you find art that bring

[art-res]

Thank you for all who tried/spread awareness of the tool and also to people who tipped, truly touched by the support and it means the world! <3

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

nobody talks about how exhausting it is to live in that space between "things will get better" and "i can't handle this anymore." it's like your emotions are constantly swinging. leaving you both hopeful and defeated in the same day.

Can I say something a little controversial

[gendertaliban]

Actually nevermind. I was going to say that kirk and spock definitely were doing weird freaky butt stuff together but my phone autocorrected it to "smirk and cock" when I wrote it out initially and I think thats a lot funnier

[gendertaliban]

Cock... Smirk .... And boner
