Never thought in 100 years I’d be trading and farming memecoins as an artist😅 But paying bills is my priority so no regrets

Without knowing you personally, lemme try: Although you have the experience and the tools, maybe you don’t feel like you can ever truly keep up with the expanse of fledgling creativity. Maybe it makes you reflect back on yourself, wondering where you are in proximity. It’s a bit of a beautiful concept really, the impossibility and the unexpected nature of simply attempting to anticipate and observe something so relentlessly nimble and fractalized. Not just new works but the market itself, or maybe the tech — the nature of AI’s progress, etc. I think it’s quite easy to become introspective. I find there’s a natural tendency to spatially understand and maybe even preserve our own place on an ever-shifting map.

I had a stress dream that I was teaching high school art and all the students ignored me and went off on their own to build beautiful giant abstract horse sculptures out of paper. After class I wandered around town for hours trying to remember where I parked. Interpretations?

@StLaurentJr I love this — the way it integrates such a beautiful sport into a very appropriate abstraction. Great work

@artnome No I think you're right, tho it feels like early post-communication - a few tiny trickles from a questionable dam.

I feel like we are in an era of post-communication where our channels are mostly unusable from spam and thanks to AI we can no longer trust any content we consume as reflecting reality nor can we tell who the true author is... but then again I may have just had too much coffee.

I've reached the stage of AI where my taste has been refined to the point of paralysis: I'll make 3,000 images in a night, 1500 are great, none feel perfect, so none get shared I have climbed the mountaintop & heard the music of success, and it sounds like a sad trombone 🎶

Exploring Midjourney's latest tuning feature — a game changer for creatives! My first dive into the /tune command has been a revelation. With the ability to pick from image styles and distill them into a simple code, I've transformed the these raw outputs into something more unique and authentic. The left shows the untuned version, while the right reveals the refined, tuned potential. What an era for AI artistry 😎

The gist is: I am not going to do things that don’t bring me joy anymore if I have a choice. The practical result of that is that I am no longer going to “fight” to be visible on X anymore. So you if you care about my art or me, please turn on notifications. I took a 5 day break from X, the first real break I have taken in 2 years. Time away made me realize how much it has hurt my confidence sharing work that only gets a handful of interactions. That’s not because my work is bad, but because the algo won’t even show it to but to a few people. Going forward, I am only going to post things when I want to share, not when and how X wants me to share to keep from being invisible. I’ve been in this invisibility prison for most of a year. I’ve tried to follow all the “rules”, but I’m continually shadowbanned. I’ve paid for the blue checkmark (hidden because it feels like blackmail) and it’s done nothing to help me not be suppressed as was promised. I’ve tried “breaking out of my bubble” and engaging with people on conversational threads, only to see my replies be hidden for no reason. It’s extremely frustrating to spend time to write thoughtful replies that no one sees and it happens even with people who follow me. I’ve even tried the “reply guy” thing but it felt fake was and too time consuming/wasting. I don’t want to (and shouldn't have to) spend all my free time monitoring X lists and waiting for some big account to post something I can reply to first. But what has been the worst is spending several hours every day making art finished enough to share and getting very few interactions. That has worn me down and I owe myself better. I could be using that time to finish more intricate work and promote it in other forums and get better interaction or sales. Or just have that time without pressure to let creativity flow instead of being on a deadline every single day to produce and post share-worthy content which is barely seen. So for all those who judge artists by their endurance of putting effort in every day and still being constantly underexposed while expecting us to be continually positive about it, well, sorry (not sorry) to disappoint you. What is best for my mental health is no longer being abused and gaslit by this “social media” platform which won’t let me socialize. I still have available work. I still make art every day. I am still going to finish my Flower of the Month Club 2023 project because I committed to it. But I am done being a pawn in the X-game. I am still “here”, but from now on, it’s on my terms, not the algo’s. I haven’t “left”, or “rug pulled”, even if you don’t see my posts. That means when I do post (since it won’t be at least twice a day like clockwork, prepping with replies to “prime” impressions and making sure not to RT anything within 45 minutes or add a link to a post announcing new mints) it will be shouting into a void and I know that. I will still check DMs and would love to hear from those who have supported me or just befriended me whenever you’d like to say hello. Wish me luck with the new ventures for my art that are not on X and not NFTs that I will be focused on with my reclaimed time and energy. And please don’t forget about me, as much as X wants you to.

@KaliYuga_ai Yeah exactly it just gets frustrating. I just end up annoyed at all the ideas I don’t have time to explore

@KaliYuga_ai It’s a great reminder that the limitations of AI are 90% conceptual. Incredible as it is that we can prompt photos and paintings, it’s a peripheral starting point on the edge of what AI enables. My favorite part is straining my eyes to map out the rest.

@haydclay I swear the more prominent they are, the harder I've had to chase. And it's only gotten worse. There needs to be a better way to enforce net. What are you gonna do, take them to court? Even if you win you'll be blacklisted. Smh

Did commissioned work for a prominent magazine two months ago and still haven’t been paid. I’ve reached out countless times only to be met with silence With NFTs, I’ve been paid instantly. Remind me how they’re a scam again?

I'm so ready to mes with ChatGPT's Custom Instructions. Previously I had formatted an entire outline for exporting extremely condensed yet GPT-readable info — bio on myself, how we work best together, areas of interest, operators, etc. for copy+pasting into new conversations.

@KaliYuga_ai But I was told AI was doomed bc twisty fingers! For real though, the bridging of such a massive gap in such a short period is still hard to grasp. This is also why I think aesthetics of AI's imperfections hold unrealized potential and tell incredible stories
