You know what? I am proud of myself. Not so much the art as the Alternate text. I didnt use AI . it was tedious yes but what of the environmental horrors of AI infrastructure and the absolutely callous way that Tech companies disregard any effects on climate change and local infastructure.

Called Famine,Man,War , Pestilence and Death. 11 by 14 inch gauche May '26 other called Tucker's Store Corners . 10 by 14 inch acrylic May '26 can you guess which is which? #art #acrylic #gauche #painting

for what? its of no real use to the average person . We never need to do anything faster,we need to do things better. AI might save a hundred lifes in medical uses but it will kill thousands in accelerating global warming. Why do we always end up heating our homes by trying to burn dynamite.

I'd never heard of this type of quartz

Meet Petroleum Quartz also known as Golden Enhydro— a rare quartz variety with ancient oil trapped inside. Tiny bubbles of hydrocarbon liquid move within the crystal when tilted, offering a window into Earth’s deep history. [📹 oneloveminerals] Original post

‪Suzan the chalant goth‬ ‪@sillysyntax.bsky.social‬ · 1mo I'm here to say this regarding gen AI in the arts. My issue with LLMs is multi. It is built off stolen work. Everytime one uses it, it supports billionaires who want to gain control and take it from the hands of writers and artists.

in a previous post i questioned if i should use AI to generate alt-tech for my paintings ...completely forgetting the ethics of using AI..thanks to Susan and infinite jester of reminding me of the worth and reason of slow fruitful and often times inconvenient labors

not sure what to do? i will take the overriding nays or yays. Do i use AI to write descriptions on Alttext ? It does a much nicer job than i do esp as once a painting is done i am sick of looking at it for a couple months . please read alttext written by chat on this oil painting just finished
