Lately, I've been back at my cutting mat, designing a whole bunch of paper model kits on commission. This one is almost 45 cm (17.5 inches) long and consists of 100 parts.
- Ace! Good job, as usual ;)OBBTKN
- LOVE. Have we asked this before? Do you deliver as assembled model or give them the flats? Can we see your packaging? Do you also give them instruction sheets?misterhow
- man, you're the King of paper models!HAL9001
- Cool. But Does It float?Fax_Benson
- Man, I'd love a freighter for my Dad, have you made one yet? Great work as always - flawless.canoe
- Usually it's delivered flat, as a brochure with a cover. I'd love to design a packaging around it, but that 'd quadrople the budget.stewart

here's where the horror and frustration lies.
Cold uncaring algorithms and cold uncaring stakeholders placing profit over human lives.It's this scene in aliens Romulus where they arbitrarily deny her release request of release
or the entire plot of Brazil
or the real-life horror show of the British post office scandal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br…or the distopial world of robocop and this malfunctioning nightmare..
It's that feeling of helplessness, the dread and angst of going up against the uncaring brutal machine, the bureaucratic one or the literal ai terror that we've created to take over our decisions.
People are scared shitless and fed up.

I just asked this question to chatGPT and it crashed:
K. Let's say you're on vacation. In another country. You burned your Face off. Then you're bandaged. Bandaged up face. How do you get back to your country with a passport How would they identify you?
Then I asked Claude 3 Opus and it said it doesn't feel comfortable providing that advice.

Our youngest daughter is going to Sicily on Erasmus next year... so the rest of the family will go "visiting" too.
I still remember, in 2000, NYC, in little Italy, asking an old man... where I could find a certain place in Italian, his answer is engraved in my memory: "Io Non Sono Italiano, Io Sono Siciliano!" love him, LOL
- This is the way!
Erasmus is key in the project for Europe.palimpsest - The university was founded by a Basque priest, so it is a way back ;)OBBTKN
- Sure, it’s a way back in heritage, but let’s not forget Erasmus is funded by the EU—a cornerstone of the European project for unity and collaboration.palimpsest
- The name is symbolic; the vision is European.palimpsest
- Agree, no prob. with that yo! ;)OBBTKN
- I do admit I was on the defensive on that one. All is good.
I'm sure she'll have a blast, as well as you when you visit.

Kinda gross that someone's dad got killed in the street and everyone is ignoring that because the shooter is cute and the victim worked for a bad company. I hate the US healthcare system as much as anyone else but the two kids who will grow up without a dad really don't deserve this.
- https://giphy.com/gi…YakuZoku
- Yes without their father they will live in absolute lavish life of privilege and luxury and their lives are ruined.monospaced
- I've heard this argument used before but it's dumb. Would we say the same for Stalin or Ted Bundy or Bin Laden?_niko
- What about the millions and milions of poor kids suffering after losing a loved one due to the health companies' shinanigans? kids who aren't set up for life_niko
- ...with insane trust funds? Yeah sorry fuck his little kids, I hope they grow up to realize what a shitty human being their father was._niko

- @MS it would seem you're just jumping through hoops not to admit that anti-capitalists have a pointkingsteven
- Capitalism, like Communism is an inert system, neither are inherently bad or good. Anti-capitalists, like anti-police or anti-communism is a populist...Morning_star
- ...catch-all description with little to no real meaning.Morning_star
- its easy, commerce and trade exist across countless economic systems, capitalism commonly refers to the current economic system (as i said, 'google Capitalism')kingsteven
- even by conservative definitions, the extraction of value to shareholders is a defining feature and anti-capitalist critique is logical: extraction of valuekingsteven
- from the marketplace inhibits commerce + generally not to the benefit of society. you're so caught up in generalising a populist movement as idiotickingsteven
- and "yet you participate" gambits you fail to admit commonality. CEO shot because Capitalism, done. No failure of democra... *summons zeitgeist* NEO-FEUDALISM!!kingsteven

- So Adam Smith was wrong?palimpsest
- yeah, i'm not in disagreement. i just thought it was funny that in that statement you used a broad definition of 'commerce' as not to appear anti-capitalist.kingsteven
- when your shtick for years is not to falter from a narrow definition of capitalism. but in this case even that would be more correct than 'commerce'kingsteven

https://www.instagra…CyBrainX - the acid's kicked in_niko
- but I think it's just ai crap. His whole "portfolio" is full of it._niko
- doesn't seem AI artwork, the details are all there if you look closely - repeated elements, symmetries, anatomy, textures, all there
just amazing craftmanship?grafician - Not sure it all looks inconsistent, plus with the sheer number of pieces on his portfolio and the detail that goes into each it probably takes him a solid week_niko
- To a month to complete, if not longer he’d need a hundred years just to produce it all so far, plus he has no work in progress or sketches anywhere_niko
- lol I just zoomed in, did I say a week? More like a year, that level of detail is impossible to create by hand. Also just look at the teeth in this piece, why_niko
- Are the styles so different in each one? This is 100% ai_niko
- It's not, the guy did these before generative AI it seems
It's just intricate collage, if you have all the elements it takes less timegrafician - IF it's AI, how would you even start prompting this? The elements blend, melt, overlap etc. it would take longer to prompt this than to make it as collagegrafician
- Here you go, something somewhat similar IRL from paper cuts https://www.saatchia…grafician
- ^ So if Mark can make it IRL, < this guy Luis can def make it in Photoshop or whatevergrafician
- More collages of Mark's https://www.saatchia…grafician
- I'm going to guess at collage work using AI generated elements. You can see in some of the works from 2022 that the output quality isnt quite up to the same parmicrokorg
- as the current works. So looks to me like AI assets. Before AI could generate such intricate detail as it does now, PLUS upscalers being so amazing, I would domicrokorg
- similar to this artist to create large works. I'd prompt MJ for lots of small individual elements then comp them together to create a huge and intricate work.microkorg
- Look at the artists earlier works too, it's digital collage with paint brush effect over it to help make it look like a painting.microkorg
- " Not AI, It’s a mix of collage with vintage images from anatomy books and my own digital illustration
"inteliboy - ^ There we have it thengrafician
- I don't see any sign this is AI.
He seems to take about 10 days - 3 weeks between each post on instagram.CyBrainX - then yeah it's amazing, thanks for the clarification. I want to see suffering and toiling in an artist's work, I want to see his hand touch all of it. :)_niko

Luigi Mangione = Hero
Eric Adams explaining to the news about how the NYPD would spare no expense and give this case special treatment and then immediately realizing what he was admitting to and adding, “but we would do that for any New Yorker. We don’t give special treatment.” was a perfect example of another aspect to why people aren’t too upset about this murder.
Class divide is strong in America.
The CEO is highly compensated because of his leadership, direction and influence. But when push comes to shove, we allow him to hide behind “the system” as if he has no influence at all. He is just a victim of the system? Please. We’re not buying that. If he has no influence, why does the board need to pay him so much?
Some say, “any CEO would do the same.” But that’s flawed logic. No one who wouldn’t do the same wouldn’t get to be CEO.
Then, when he is murdered, we all have to watch our police force give his case extra treatment. While cops sit in the subway scrolling their phones, ignoring people. People report violent crime and are told by nypd that “we didn’t see it, there’s nothing we can do”.
And so we don’t care.
