As someone who has stayed in their lane their entire art career aka created whatever the fuck I want , I often laugh at some the things that go on in this space. The argument “art is subjective” is such a cope in this space to justify some of the bullshit that gets sold. Anyone can spend their money on anything they want, even ai slop but just because you pay for it and pay a good amount for it, it doesn’t make it good art. I’ll even shoot a shot at myself, just because I’ve spent 5 + years on a piece now it doesn’t mean it’s good. I don’t want the time spent on the piece to be the thing that makes people think it’s amazing, I want people to take a deeper look at the intricacies, the colors and ideas that make the piece come together. You know the saying money can’t un-lame you applies here to a certain degree. The truth is there is only a handful of collectors in this space who are actually patrons of the arts, who collect with good intentions & always look for the deeper meanings within the works. Most “collectors” in this space lack good taste & partly it’s not their fault since most started collection in 21. But you can tell who has taken the time to learn and who just thinks they can get away by buying the next hype thing. At the end of the day as an artist you can complain or you can remind yourself why you even make art in the first place. Yes i understand it is the dream of most of us to be able to make a living making art but that ultimately should be a by product. First & foremost should be creating because it’s the thing that makes you happy, the thing that drives you to be a better human or simply because it’s the thing that keeps you alive & sane. You are the driver of your destiny.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to share AI creations without someone showing up to tell you that what you’re doing isn’t real art. Sometimes I wonder if people realize there’s an actual human being behind those creations, spending hours imagining, experimenting, editing, and putting their creativity into making something worth sharing. You don’t have to like AI art. But why make someone feel bad for enjoying what they create?

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.
