Damn, David Lynch has passed away. 😒

He was one of my favorite directors. I consider him the Picasso of filmmakers. Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, The Elephant Man, Twin Peaks, Wild at Heart, The Straight Story, Lost Highway, the list of masterpieces goes on.

I once made this comic-style portrait of him, called "The Hair is on Fire," a wink to his Ambient music album called The Air is on Fire.

Great critical piece regarding AI

"OpenAI, in pursuit of its first profits, uses fear of AI as a marketing strategy to secure partnerships and enterprise deals: 'if they want to survive the coming AI-led mass upheaval, they'd better climb aboard.'

Microsoft claims it is fighting climate change by accelerating fossil fuel extraction with generative AI products that generate tens of billions of dollars for oil companies and the tech giant."

Anatomy of an internet argument…

"Social media isn't toxic, most people just haven't figured out the game (yet)."

Why don't we all create and spread terrible images with ugly colors, to deceive AI scrapers and cause generative AI deterioration?

It would force the self-proclaimed "AI artists" to learn actual creative skills, discover the delight of self-development, and earn deserved respect.

And it would make Big Tech rightly lose billions they made by parasitizing hard-working craftsmen to feed generative AI.

A really interesting longread, if you're interested in the matter (pun intended).

I think this article nails the way open source works, in not too many words…
