Testudo-rone? Is that anything? I need to go to sleep.

Someone tell the manfluence optimise-bros about Jonathan the tortoise! I want to see them tortoise-maxxxing. Just eating a lettuce leaf in slow motion, then gradually traverse a small square of grass and go to sleep. Put it in your morning routine!

Yes, sort of bean soup syndrome writ large and fucking everywhere. Every argument read in the context only of what’s on their mind right now.

Look, it’s not for me, but I have friends who are building their own programs and coding their own playgrounds who believe in it very profoundly. As I said, I’m yet to be convinced.

An artist who has decided not to make me their art, for whatever reason. I am open to the idea that there can be legit use of GenAi in eg. pop art. Open to the arguments re: smaller / cooler / ethically trained models of LLMs that run locally or ask for consent etc. Waiting to see it done well.

Or keep it for myself, an artist who needs money.

I know times are tough and artists need money. I am one of them. I am an artist who needs money. But also, I am trying to help with that problem by paying for art with money and if what you give me is not art, I would like to give my money to someone else.

Frustrating when you hire an artist to do art because you want to support a human and then they give you something that is not only clearly A.I. generated but like - not even proofed or checked or adjusted or fixed. Feels fundamentally insulting.

Stop saying Goodnight Moon, the moon doesn’t know what time it is. It’s probably moon-morning and you’ve given the moon jet lag.

I'm not going to get into it on Threads because I'm not a masochist, but sending your editorial notes to an author for a trad pub book that's already published is insane behaviour. The author vetted it, their editor did, a copyeditor, a proofreader...the book is written the way it is for a reason.

Toddler Gospel: God gives his naughtiest behaviours to his cutest soldiers. It’s like they up the cuteness level just as they enter a new phase of trying it the f- on.

If you’re not selling supplements as merch after your phantom shows, you’re letting money go, Joz.

If you haven’t starred in Ridley Scott’s treasure island before breakfast, you’re wasting your day. Allow me, a morning routine manfluencer to convince you to buy my testosterone supplements so you too can star in Ridley Scott’s treasure island before your morning pushups
