OpenAI CTO Mira Murati: "Some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place," the CTO said of AI's role in the workplace.
Imagine the deep moral vacuity you'd have to have to use the phrase "shouldn't have" here. Like it was somehow WRONG or IMMORAL for creative people to get paid for their work. Work that OpenAI has pirated to fuel their immoral, unethical machine.
That industry that should be regulated out of existence.

Pentax-M 40mm f2.8 hiding in this lot. Someone might get a little bit of a bargain. #BelieveInFilm https://shopgoodwill.com/item/199688267

Hey, #BelieveInFilm friends... curious if anyone has any expertise with this camera and could provide some advice. The light meter vastly underexposes - the underexposure arrow is always flashing at the bottom of the column. Shutter sounds fine when set manually. But the light meter's screwy. I already replaced the bottom capacitor - didn't help, sadly. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Friends, you've always wanted a Leica, right? Well, now you can get one for $60. Yes, it's an 8 megapixel digital Leica that's definitely seen better days. But come on. $60 for that little red dot? Go on. #GregPakShop https://gregpakshop.com/collections/featured/products/leica-d-lux-2-digital-camera-works-but-read

#BelieveInFilm friends, help me out with something... I've been puzzling over this auction and I can't figure out why it went for $279. I mean, I LOVE the Canon FTb. But that's usually a $60 or $70 camera at the most on ShopGoodwill. And the only really standout lens there is the Canon FD 100mm f2.8. Which is great! But that's maybe $120? Just can't see what the extra $100 is for. https://shopgoodwill.com/item/196950596

2024-05-22 11:41:33

Hey, #BelieveInFilm friends... anyone using a vintage 120 folding camera? I'm intrigued and looking at different brands -- curious if anyone has recommendations of affordable ones with good lenses. Thanks!

Got interviewed by Jose Suarez for an NYC DOE comics thing (stay tuned!)... then surprised him by pulling out my own camera, and he graciously let me take his picture.
