It is a great tragedy that donuts are bad for your health.
It is equally tragic that Stop, Drop and Roll hasn't been invented yet in this setting.
A shrewsie, my answer to @bowelfly's call for more shrewnanigans.
My latest sticker is now up for pre-order! HOT GIRLS HATE AI! 🚫🤖💅✨
Note: Shipment on this sticker will be a little slower as I may need to outsource it to keep up with demand. Are you sick and tired of peopl
ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds
I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study
after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines
et voila
and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)
and now, the birds
Birds 1 and 2/14: Red Winged Blackbird, Male and female, Agelaius phoeniceus
Bird 3/14, American Robin, Turdus migratorius
hoo boy, ok *out of breath*
GIVE IT UP FOR BIRD NUMBUH 5, THE CANADIAN GOOSE, Branta canadensis!!!!
this guy took me about 4 days to completely finish, all of those freakingk coverts were a bear to render
speaking of obnoxious coverts:
bird 5/14, Bluejay, Cyanocitta cristata
the friggin stripes almost got me chat, i may not make it
Madam....
birds 6 and 7: American Goldfinch, Spinus tristis, male and female
pleasantly simple to paint! next is the flickerrrrr
*melts into goo*
BIRD NUMBER 8, (yellow shafted) NORTHERN FLICKERRRRR, Colaptes auratus
genuinely made me start questioning my sanity around day 3, it's half the size the of the goose, WHY did it take me 4 days to finish??
nothing but pain and suffering, i'm sure hope the next bird will be much easier and with FAR less barring :)
in other news, I am losing my mind hairline
SHE'S DONE!!
Bird number 9: Red-tailed hawk, Buteo jamaicensis
my chains are broken i am FREE. although i did have a great deal of fun with this, the barring on the wings itself took me like four days and i am READY to move on
this was a week and a half of continuous work so please excuse me for getting a little emotional in the bg 🙏
*does a little jig*
BIRD NUMBER 10!!! The Male Mallard Duck, Anas platyrhynchos
the male and female ones are gonna be posted separately bc they're taking a lot longer lol but yea! super happy i was able to capture the iridescent green of the head, i found metallic green and blue paint at a craft store that really made his head POP. it looks better in person i promise
ALSO!! As this is the 10th one, BIG announcement. The end is in sight!!!!! I plan to finish within the next 3 weeks and there will be a small dedication ceremony/ unveiling happening at the library to commemorate its completion on the 16th of May. If you live in the Western New York region and want to check it out for yourself shoot me a dm!
Also thank you everyone for your kind words and support throughout this whole process, it's been a genuine treat thinking there are potentially thousands of you out there cheering me on while I paint this 🥹
aaaand another one bites the duck,
we're movin right along with bird numero 11!! The lady Mallard!! Anas platyrhyncos
the 16th is looming in the distance so i'm trying to get thru these as quickly as i can so i can have as much time for the GBH as possible. i still need to do the names next to all of them so i've got about a week and a half to finish everything which is GREAT because i have adhd and nothing gets my ass in gear like a fuckin deadline, let me tell you
power couple that they are, here's bird number 12 and 13,
the Northern Cardinals, Cardinalis cardinalis
and NOW that they are complete, ITS GO TIME, in the next five days (library's closed for mother's day 😭😭) i need to have the GBH fully rendered, the names of the birds vectored, weeded, masked, applied to the wall, and then painted, plus additional cattails throughout. I may be able to get away with just getting the GBH done in time for the unveiling and then just have the names and cattails added later, but i'm gonna really try to get it all done in time. BUT, i have a plan. Part of why i take so long on these is because i really am just figuring it out as I do it lmao. there have been many a time where i am sitting on top of the ladder googling "how to paint birds" but I think if i take the time tomorro to do all that figuring out how to approach it beforehand, this will go a lot faster. I may also recruit some of my artist friends to help with the placing of the names... hrmm we'll see.
Anyways, shout out to the librarian who tracked down exactly the thing i needed so i could figure out where to place the highlights in my birds eyes, ur the real mvp
thanks for the reminder, kid
at long last, we've reached the end...
Bird number 14 out of 14,
The Great blue heron, Ardea herodius
thank you to everyone who reached out or got excited about this project, it genuinely gave me the fuel i needed to keep going. In total, the 480+ total hrs it took me to cover this wall pales in comparison to how long its expected to spend on there, hopefully imparting a sense of beauty and love for the natural world to the next generation and here's hoping i'm only getting started with these.
i'll see y'all soon :')

Text of tweet under the cut because it is loooong.
But... Stochastic Parrots.
The paper is available online: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3442188.3445922
This is so, so important. I highly encourage everyone to read the full text under the readmore.
I also want to say that I feel like part of the problem with trying to explain this to a wider audience will be that most people don't know what stochastic means.
Well, in short, stochastic means random.

So, that's what Google's lead of AI Ethics and her fellow leading AI researchers said about LLMs in 2021:
Generative AI is just random Random Parrots
ChatGPT is a Random Parrot, which is why it's literally incapable of giving you reliable answers to anything
Gemini is a Random Parrot, which is why it's literally incapable of giving you reliable answers to anything
Claude is a Random Parrot, which is why it's literally incapable of giving you reliable answers to anything
Deepseek is a Random Parrot, which is why it's literally incapable of giving you reliable answers to anything
They are very convincing parrots!
But no matter how impressive a parrot's ability to echo human words, you wouldn't let it write your contracts. Your court depositions. Your wedding vows. Your grocery lists. All your emails. All your papers for all your classes. All your thank you notes and letters. All your expense and budget reports at work. All the reports you send to your boss.
That's what people are doing.
They're trusting their entire lives - their grades, their decisions, their fucking wedding vows, half their fucking interaction time -
to a fucking random parrot
(that also tells suicidal people to kill themselves and tells recovering addicts to go do meth, btw)
Don't do that. Like, on top of all of the other issues like the massive environmental impacts, and modern slavery in mines in the Congo, AI psychosis, etc. etc. etc. etc.
Please don't let a random parrot that's wiretapping you for Amazon or whoever run any part of your life

A little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by.
I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoying taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

I finally found the book I read at like age 8 in a Barnes and Noble and have spent years trying to remember. It’s the Arrival by Shaun Tan. No wonder it stuck with me for years.
every reread kills me a little bit more
reread and enjoy <3

The real treasure was the fancy hat we found along the way.
As a rule of thumb, if you have to dig it up it's a crime, but if you can just yoink it then it's a-okay.
