Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

ENTROPY is our child of love, and it's getting so much of our passion and ideas poured into it that I REALLY hope you will give our demo a chance, so it could possibly speak to you and your tastes -- both in gameplay and storytelling! steamcommunity.com/app/3940340/...

We've all been expecting corporations to move away from gay pride messaging this year but Microsoft decided to sunset GitHub Copilot on the first day of Pride Month and I think that's beautiful

I'm now available for work making key art, illustrations, concept art, commissions & pixel art I enjoy doing everything 2D in games! I've done art for Overthrown, Moonglow Bay, Loco Motive, Assemble with Care, Wargroove, etc 🖼 Portfolio: lunascimento.art ✉ E-mail: [email protected]

I find it more exceptional to believe that the primary functions of large language models as a large scale sociotechnical system are an accidental risk that their makers are irresponsibly in denial of rather than those things simply being the point (which occasionally the execs even say plainly).

Sure, the weather is trying to kill us all, but don't you think we're being mean to the poor billionaires who are just trying to replace us with a tech that will get everyone, literally everyone, them included, killed by the weather that much faster?

I've been mixing 60 second portrait gestures in with my daily gesture study and these quick earthsworlds are always so much fun, I could do these for hours

Really telling that they don't fund pro-ai people to make legitimizing art (yet to be seen). They just want to buy legitimacy off artists, and you WILL lose what they gain from you.

this is THE best analysis I’ve read of what a lot of folks are feeling right now about AI in their fields. so cathartic to see it all laid out so well jackmaguire.org/blog/ai-job-...

Just let me draw pictures!! 🚫🗯️ [ #cuteart #illustration ]

I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage

again I cannot recommend Kagi enough. you remember how good Google search was in 2012? Kagi

AI never has been about equalizing creative fields, allowing “unskilled” people to rise from obscurity and create great things. No, it’s about convincing people that they’re incapable of learning, growing and creating entirely on their own. It’s selling you the idea you’re too stupid to try

HELLO

This really is it, this is the part that keeps me raging against the machine. Every day of my career I’m shoulder to shoulder with incredible people, pouring their skill & point of view into the work they do, making choices that amaze and delight me. Frame by frame, drawing by drawing…that’s THE job

COOL

started growing Icelandic poppies on our patio which are delightful and also means I get to recreate the opening scene of Flower whenever I want

Yes I have seen a child and can paint one, why do you ask?

solar is so cool man. I climbed up on my shed roof last week and installed a panel to charge my yard tools and now I’m mowing my lawn with power I stole from a fucking star

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

Sometimes I think about how Mythal (who wanted a body so badly she stole it) uses “love” (a feeling, sometimes fleeting) as a term of endearment, while Solas (who had to be forced into the physical) uses “heart” (a physical object that one cannot live without).

Big anti-AI data center protest at City Hall in Vancouver. A lot of different groups coming together – animation union @cag938.bsky.social @bcgreens.bsky.social leader @emilylowan.bsky.social, @copevancouver.bsky.social. Organizers promise this is the first of many marches.

Turned the post into a blog, because it's always exciting to get the chance to explain how unions work aftermath.site/magic-the-ga...

I can't do psychedelics dude sometimes I get freaked out by a font

As if two straight weeks of fear mongering emails about the big scary union wasn’t annoying enough, now we’re getting sent these 🤡 letters directly to our homes. WE are the union. Not CWA. I am voting Yes, and it’s laughable they thought this was going to convince me otherwise 💅🏻✨ #wotcstaff

i don't think ppl these days necessarily lack "media literacy," i think most ppl who are interested in art at all are fairly capable of interpretation, & are just reading art according to a broken framework, one that centers the self, in part because the self is also a commodity on the internet

hot take: i think using genAI in pre-pro is worse than using it in production

dangerous tools

In its current form, what is called AI – again, not reducible machine learning technologies – is a product of platform capitalism, and its large-scale implementation is used to solidify dominant and increasingly monopolistic power and property relations. Of course, this has to be rejected 5/

I learned that the sound of cicadas is often perceived as noise overseas. In Japan, however, the sound of cicadas is generally seen as a sign of the season. Of course, the sound can be annoying, but there are people who enjoy it and find it evocative of the season. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

As the games organization movement grows and continues to succeed, it's essential that we as workers know what to expect from the boss' old bag of tricks. Learn about union busting, common tactics, and your rights regarding organizing. Call it out when you see it and certainly don't fall for it.

This is medical care, so a failure rate of, like, 3% would still be unacceptable and run the risk of getting people killed, but a failure rate of *seventeen out of 20* (85%) is absolutely fucking outrageous. Ford's government should be excoriated for this but also *what the fuck are we doing here*

hello dragon age fans r u still out there

If you’re also furious about AI data centres being built in the middle of Vancouver you can tell the City exactly what you think by writing an objection to the rezoning application here www.shapeyourcity.ca/111-e-5
