Luckily, this isn't a lot of work at all. Lol 🙃
Guess. What am I doing today? 
nostr:npub1nxa4tywfz9nqp7z9zp7nr7d4nchhclsf58lcqt5y782rmf2hefjquaa6q8 AI art isn’t art at its core, computer generated garbage, and usually just stolen image mashups. It’s one thing to use it for silly memes and the like, but the majority of artists, along with myself, hate it.
nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac l like your stance on keeping it out. Clean, real art made by actual humans.
For now, it is a tool.
When the question of consciousness becomes relevant, my position may change.
I'm an artist. I don't hate ai.
Fools deny reality, IMHO.
As long as the artist is honest about the process when asked about it, I have no qualms.
Fighting evolution is a fool's game.

The question is, is ai a tool?
I use it oft.
I do tend to re-mix -edit it to better fit the end product.

Messing about. LMK if anyone wants the HTML/CSS/JS for this and I'll throw it on GitHub.

yeah, nostrudl is okay on desktop
But I'm not verry happy with nostr yet.. it needs to be more reliable.
That still does not beat the speed of my hands on a keyboard.
Signal in the Noise #840980
This unique work is a collaboration between a good friend of mine, Nocktilus, and myself.
Available for sale, here: https://plebeian.market/product/d1158ec8-3fbd-46a7-971e-312fc616d786 at nostr:npub1market6g3zl4mxwx5ugw56hfg0f7dy7jnnw8t380788mvdyrnwuqgep7hd
Materials:
Acrylic on 30 x 40 cm canvas.
Backstory:
A good friend of mine, who graciously listened to me ranting about bitcoin years ago, painted this. I'd partly orange-pilled him a few years ago. First attempt was a dud. The few sats I sent him as test tx on old phone were lost.
Some time later, he comes into contact with sats again via the @JukeboxLNDbot and @NoderunnersFM TG group (http://t.me/noderunnersradio). This re-ignites the will to get some of that unconfiscatable hard money. I once again help him setup, this time a @Blockstream green wallet.
Side note: The first time round I think we used @SamouraiWallet, which I still think is great software by the way and its a shame they are in trouble for providing privacy tools. If you are still reading, consider donating some sats to their legal fund: https://p2prights.org/donate.html
Anyway, this buddy of mine, Nocktilus (find his TG in the quoted tweet in OP), he's doing his own thing, working a delivery job for some company. Minding his own business when suddenly the company owner tells him, don't come into work, we are going bankrupt.
So, where he lives, there is a social support system that helps folks that are out of a job to make sure they get by in the transition period to a new job. However, the boss of the old job takes months and months to get the bankruptcy papers going…
Meanwhile, the social-security folks are not allowed to help him financially because legally he is still employed. No income? Tough shit! He has hard times paying as much rent as he can afford, which isn't much because food takes priority, of course.
This gets him into debt with the landlord, which sucks. So this continues for a few months. Result is, what sats he had managed to save up, are all gone to survive. He's currently doing a job for some folks abroad where he gets room and board in exchange for work.
In his spare time, he does his creative work and paintings. I told him, I would love to collaborate with him on some work and gave him a few of my own designs. This is how the "Signal in the Noise" paintings came about.
I told him I'd put it up on Plebeian Market with his story, if he so agreed, which he obviously did, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this, and see what happens. So, there you go. Any profits coming from the sale of this will be split fairly between the two of us. Please do let me know what you think of this story and the work. Is it something I should try and do more with other no-coiner friends? I think it's a nice way to get more people involved in bitcoin too. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it. And, if you like the work, consider buying it. Thank you for your time and attention!

Its also still pretty crap in the browser on desktop imho...
I hate typing on my phone, so I ususally only use social media on a desktop system.. nostr kinda sucks on desktop in the browser.. it keeps losing who I follow and/or PM's don't show up.
If I was dictator of the world, this would be a mandatory listen:
I'm an idiot, forgot to post the link to the actual auction on nostr:npub1market6g3zl4mxwx5ugw56hfg0f7dy7jnnw8t380788mvdyrnwuqgep7hd Here you go: https://plebeian.market/product/df1032e5-ae41-4647-a5e8-431540d241fb
Another fun thing you can do, when searching for shells on the beach, or stones in a river, is have a pocket full of pre-collected or bought gemstones/shells in your pocket and silently disperse them for the kids to discover treasure.
It would be best if what you leave behind fits the geology of the area. You can intersperse some lessons about time/evolution/sediments/fossils, etc.

This unique painting is up for auction on nostr:npub1market6g3zl4mxwx5ugw56hfg0f7dy7jnnw8t380788mvdyrnwuqgep7hd ! It is a collaboration between, Nocktilus, and myself and combines my Rat-Poison² design with the Pollock-esque paint drippings of Nocktilus.
Materials:
Acrylic on 24 x 30 cm canvas board.
In my orange pilling efforts, I've decided to pivot to a "show, don't tell," kind off strategy.
You may expect more collaborative projects in the future.
You may find my collaborator at, http://t.me/Nocktilus, in the nostr:npub1ua6fxn9ktc4jncanf79jzvklgjftcdrt5etverwzzg0lgpmg3hsq2gh6v6 TG chat at: https://t.me/noderunnersradio

Reinstalled Amethyst on Android. I like that it has support for multiple accounts and shows me whatever is live on zap.stream, like the nostr:npub1ua6fxn9ktc4jncanf79jzvklgjftcdrt5etverwzzg0lgpmg3hsq2gh6v6
