The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers.

“The upshot is, if you adopt LLMs into your work flow, you are intentionally adopting a bullshit engine. Nothing that comes from an LLM should ever be trusted. There is no accountability for the inevitable errors and fabrications that they bring to your work.
If ChatGPT were an employee, you’d fire them almost immediately for fraud”

I think the saddest thing about the current AI art ethic debate is how much people devalue *Art* and conflate it with simple image making.
The medium of a lot of art is image based but the image itself does not art make. Art is when there’s intent, the execution then in a visual language, machines do not have intent nor artistic decisions.
It’s like grammatically correct word salads. But then again AI does make those and many can’t tell the difference there either.
For people who think artists just copy mindlessly what they see or implicitly internalize external stimuli so it’s analogous to AI… well it’s a well known fact that most people can’t think outside of their own experiences so the lack of understanding and imagination is to be expected 😒
At the end of the day, it’s maddening how little we value artists, craftsmanship, and paying creativity fairly.

This week's animation is a bit different; I used footage of the sky during a storm to modulate the scribbles' concentration on one of the layers...fascinating isn't it?

After 1 week on #Mastodon, the biggest difference I notice compared to #Twitter is the way each network makes me feel.
Twitter:
Open, scroll…
“Why are people so horrible to each other?”
Mastodon:
Open, scroll…
“Wow! There are so many interesting people in the world! I want to know more of them.”
I sense being here is changing my perspective of social media. #TwitterMigration
