  1. Title: Drawtober 2 Beyen-mokiny

    Content Notes: Caution! Your plant may not be my plant, so be cautious what you're eating and rubbing on yourself.

    Drawn with a Kakimori dip nib for the Pelikan Apricot Achat, Pyrite and Rose Quartz inks, and with a Pelikan Twist for the Aventurine. Blending the Aventurine and the Pyrite with the Kakimori was very easy and I really liked the effect and the shade was very close to the leaves in the sunshine.

    So, today's prompt from this list goss.dreamwidth.org/file/16257 is Sunflower. I'm roughly working through it for this year's stab at Drawtober/Inktober because the drawesome community on Dreamwidth is pretty cool. But, most of them are in the Northern Hemisphere which is not where I am. So I'm playing fast and loose. Today's prompt is Sunflower, and the closest thing to me at the moment sunflower wise is this plant which I'm growing on my verge. It's commonly known as pigface. Overseas it's called sea fig. It flowers about now and the fruit will develop through Kambarang and continue to ripen in Birak.

    But It is a relative to a naturally occurring species, which some of the Nyoongar people call Beyen. It's an important plant to them. So I'm calling this Beyen-mokiny - similar to a Beyen. You can certainly eat the fruit of it, it's very nice! It's said you can eat the leaves cooked, maybe raw, but I haven't tried them. Wild Food in Australia said they were yucky but the fruit was great. Another use is it's great for burns - spread the pulp of the leaves on a burn and it acts in a similar way to aloe vera. Better in my experience, it's better. The endemic one is pink, the introduced one is yellow, but can have pink and apricot tones, I hear it crossbreeds readily with the native one.

    So there you go.

    If we push a bit harder Europe may get rid of AI?

    Good to see where our priorities lie.

    I went to my local grocery store a couple of days ago in the evening. I used the self serve kiosks as I only had 3 items and the one real clerk was busy with a big cart for another shopper.
    As I completed the transaction and started bagging, the older lady who handles the self serve machines came over to let me know I can put my bag in the area where the scanned items go.
    I thanked her and said "yes, but then it complains about 'unknown items in the bagging area'"

    Her reply was golden: "it's not human, you don't have to listen to the machines"

    I said with a big smile "yes, you are so right. We don't have to"
    I really wanted to hug her and give her a double high five, but that's not the kind of relationship I have with this lady... Yet.
    Though I think we would get along.

  18. @fedipete I think this question is a bigger deal than some folks might believe. The fact that Etsy is specifically supposed to be "hand made" or "artist made" and is overrun with slop items IMNSHO means that there is a non-measurable devaluation of art going on. Can you get AI based products for cheap(er) on Etsy? Sure. Are those items art? Some would argue they are not. Are those items the product of theft? Some would argue they are. How can an organization like Etsy moderate items without messing up a ton of edge cases? I have no idea.

    Having said all that, I do hope you'll return to this post (or make a new one) and tell us of your findings in your search for something better. 🎨

  24. Oh, the internet. Once a brilliant concept of bringing real people and communities together online. And yes, it still is.

    But what it also is now is a place full of trolls, AI slop, AI chatbots (and the occasional human) spreading scams and spam, or trying to show me nude images.
    No, thanks.
