How to Draw an Orange

A presentation by Mike Monteiro, designer and guy who talks and writes a lot about art and labor opinions I tend to agree with.

I'm disappointed that it took me eight months to sit down and pay attention long enough to watch the full recording of Mike Monteiro's presentation "How to Draw an Orange" from Y Oslo last year.

This presentation uses and expands on his post about a reader's relationship with their art, with the majority of added content centering on AI and the harm it does to people, society and the world in which we live. (I wholeheartedly recommend the original blog post linked above if you're a creative who struggles with confidence in your craft).

I beseech thee to watch or listen to the entire presentation recording, but understand that attention is at a premium, so here are some links to segments throughout:

"We announce our place in the world by marking it." (art is inherent to humans and we use it to communicate with one another)

"How good are you at what you do?" (AI preys on and reinforces any belief that you are not competent)

"There is nothing benevolent about this." (techbro oligarchs do not care about making the world a better place, they care only about becoming more wealthy and more powerful)

"These companies need a hit, and they need a hit bad." (the tech industry has ceased to innovate in meaningful ways and is trying to solve their problems with money and it is not working)

"Any chance for a nuanced conversation about AI went out the window when the tech oligarchs declared war on my neighbors." (self explanatory)

This entire analogy about AI and those old mail-order sea monkey kits (brine shrimp)

"More chips, more money, more water." (AI companies will never stop draining our resources, and it will always negatively impact the working class most)

Mike's conclusion is the last 15-ish minutes of the video, which I think should be the segment you watch or listen to if you only have 15 minutes to spare.
