Resist the push for generative AI. Make art.

Source:

Make Art — Joshua W. Cotter

Alt Text: Four panels of a comic by artist Joshua W. Cotter entitled "Make Art".

Panel 1: "Art poses a threat to corporatocratic systems because a purpose of art is to remind the individual of their inherent autonomy. Their humanity."

Panel 2: "That is a purpose in direct diametric opposition to that of corporatocratic systems: objectification of the individual for profit and control."

Panel 3: "Generative A.I. is part of an authoritarian corporatocratic effort to co-opt and commodify the creative process to rid the end result — art — of that with threatens its existence — humanity."

Panel 4: "Resist commodification. Defy corporatocracy. Defy oligarchy. Defy their anti-human, anti-life authoritarian movement. Make art." — JWC, 02-10-26

"I hate when the skeletons on decorations aren't anatomically accurate." A Halloween skeleton isn't the same as what's inside you, idiot. It's different. A Halloween skeleton is, like. A guy or something. It's an animal.

If Halloween skeletons had bones like ours instead of hollow bones like that of a bird, they wouldn't be able to play their ribcages like xylophones. You sound so fucking uneducated right now.

Every piece of media I encounter changes me. The magnitude of the change cannot be predicted in advance. I might watch a complex film only to remain much the same person as I was before. I might listen to a simple song and discover a whole new way of seeing the world.

The direction of the change is equally unpredictable. Reading a thousand social media posts drenched in cynicism will not necessarily make me more cynical. Reading a novel where the characters demonstrate incredible insight will not necessarily make me more insightful.

The effects of media are uncertain because there is another factor present in each encounter. That factor is me, the cumulative being that I already am. Even more than the substantive beliefs and values I hold, there is the intractable mass of experiences I've had throughout my life that influences the outcome.

sometimes when I’m being especially self deprecating and convinced no one likes me I have to tell myself “you’re being goob. you are being goob right now”

in a much brighter timeline, being a "cryptobro" just means that you're an insufferable bigfoot or mothman guy
