Out of curiosity, how long do you consume soup before you pick up the bowl and guzzle it like a Neanderthal?

I got to share my two cents in this great article by Jon Porter at The Verge on the case for physical media in a world dominated by streaming services. Nobody needs to own as many movies as I do, but I would encourage you to buy some of your favorites! theverge.com/24046669/4k-bl…

The friendship between Franklin Armstrong and Charlie Brown started with a letter. On this day in 1968, a schoolteacher named Harriet Glickman wrote to Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz asking him to add a Black character to his comic, marking the beginning of Franklin’s story.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single commercial offend and turn off a core customer base as much as this iPad spot. Achieves the opposite of their legendary 1984 spot. It’s not even that it’s boring or banal. It makes me feel… bad? Bummed out?

What's truly wild is Apple was barely even registering in this most recent cultural backlash—the ire was directed towards OpenAI, Microsoft, etc. Apple literally said, hold on, we want a piece of that—what if we made the 1984 ad but just made *ourselves* the soul-sucking megacorp

Even as an Apple brand loyalist, I think they deserve all the heat they are getting over this literally tone-deaf ad. Creatives have always been Apple power users. This feels like a stab in the back.

Perth has the right idea. I’d love to see all Comic Cons and Festivals take a similar stance. C2E2 FAN EXPO HQ REEDPOP FAN EXPO Chicago

I’ve also had people ask me if my profile pic, which I illustrated, was made my A.I. They did not enjoy my answer. Not that I was rude, but they got a 10-15 TedTalk about human creativity and how machines cannot create art.

Every generative AI announcement, every creator out there should be asking what the training data is, until these companies stop building their products on copyrighted work without permission. The more people ask the question, the harder it is for them to evade it.

My latest binge watch doodle in my Sketch Wallet is the excellent @netflixseries #BlueEyeSamurai. I was engaged by the intense storytelling, beautiful visuals and character design. Have you seen it yet? What did you think? 🌊

There is no generative AI in Beyond the Spider-Verse and there never will be. One of the main goals of the films is to create new visual styles that have never been seen in a studio CG film, not steal the generic plagiarized average of other artists’ work.

Despite significant backlash already, I suspect the AI world still underestimates the strength of anti-AI art sentiment. This Daily Show segment on the Suno & Udio lawsuits is a bellwether: "But this does bring up an important question, which is: should AI be involved in art?

Was privileged to attend the very last show at the Music Box Theatre before the renovation began. I wasn’t prepared to be so moved by the legacy of those seats.

They can keep the seats as-is and just lose the 35 minutes of commercials and trailers and the 47 minutes of soft-focus Nicole Kidman telling me how great AMC is. deadline.com/2024/11/amc-en… via @Deadline
