A concept for Jinu and Rumi’s ending

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Read C's full story here, in parts:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

My friend C was recently discharged from that shitty hospital but she has started bleeding from how bad the procedures are, bc what else can you expect from a shitty hospital?

We are both at our wit's end for our own reasons. She is still estranged from her family, and all her current friends have spouses and children to look after.

As her proxy, all my savings have gone to helping her, and on top of that I don't get my work incentives until 3 more days.

She needs help NOW.

If anyone has $60 to spare within the next 8 hours, it would be highly appreciated. I can't financially help her anymore from this point onwards.

PαγpαΙ

She doesn't have a P*yp*l account, so I use my account from my more active days as an artist and act as her proxy.

Everything here will be sent to her ASAP.

Please do not tag this as d*nations or the like.
