“Sketchbook Comic: Book 3” is my personal sketchbook, where I juxtapose my art with writing about my experiences as a non-binary, chronically ill person.

On a gut level, this is possibly the most apt framing of "AI" and its consequent "disruptions" that I've seen.
IMO it is no overstatement to correlate "AI" with death, nor apprehensions against it with grief for what we are already losing to it.

These remarks were delivered this evening at the Creatively Critical Tech Speaker Series at Illinois State University. "There is no good way to say this." These are the opening words of Yiyun Li’s latest book Things in Nature Only Grow about life after the death by suicide of both
For a while I struggled with this perceived creative deadwater, approached it as a block I could chip away at. Lately, I've realised that I just don't have a lot to say, beyond just saying or typing them plainly.

Apparently, on other platforms, people are sharing videos of a deadly shooting. There was also a mass shooting at a high school in Colorado today.
Please remember to think about the folks who follow you here. If you must post about it, be sure to use CWs and do not post it on the Public Local vis.social timeline. Make sure you set your privacy levels to quiet or to followers only.
And do NOT post videos of the shooting taking place!
