The only reasonable position is zero tolerance: the AI industry must end sooner rather than later. It is culturally, socially, environmentally, and economically destructive, and all the Silicon Valley marketing in the world isn't going to make it otherwise.

There is no ethical use of AI because the continued existence of the AI industry is directly harmful to (alongside everyone else) the interests of everyone whose labour makes books exist—writers of fiction & nonfiction, illustrators, translators, researchers, editors, everyone.

There are many people who simply do not understand the stakes and either understate or overstate them. The issue is not that AI will replace writers or w/e: it can't. The issue is that AI will make our working conditions significantly worse and harm the development of new artists in our fields.

i wasn't going to share this sketch because i am very blocked and it feels wonky as fuck but at least i got the references from random hand poses collages and pornpics like a decent person, not from the resource-guzzling melted-limbs-everywhere idiot machine #bittersketch #baldursgate3 #awstarion

"Something that I have found difficult for non-artists to understand is that the ‘early messy stuff’ that non-arty folks insist can be ‘fixed by a human artist later’ is where the best work is done." True of every creative field. You can't start building halfway up; the foundation has to be sound.

Just finished the painting of my little sister's cat 😺 It was a nice break. Drawing something like that was really refreshing #cat #art #procreate #digitalart

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

This isn't to cut development time, this is to cut development costs, and instead to compensate by hiring more creatives for your team, you use gen AI. Very uncool, Larian. Creatives are hurting in every industry. Be the force that fight for creatives, not against them.

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

the ideas phase is not "busy work" that needs to be "assisted" by ai. it's literally the entire blueprint for your project!! it's some of the most rewarding and interesting parts of development! why do we need ai for this!!!!!

seeing the concept art behind some of my favourite games is literally my favourite thing and I collect artbooks for a reason!!! the fact people are so eager to excuse destroying this part as an "ethical" use of ai literally fills me with a primal blood rage

already seeing people in damage control mode saying it's "ethical" use of gen ai and it's not gonna be in the final game so it's fine. NO. concept art/visdev are FOUNDATIONAL in the design process, and using gen ai on those levels means the entire thing is already poisoned

I hope there's enough pushback that Vincke reconsiders his position. I would really like to enjoy the great work all the devs at Larian are doing without upper management forcing this unnecessary shit into their workflow.

Hello again, my Sun This art is truly significant to me #Astarion #bg3 #baldursgate3 #tavstarion

In celebration of finishing my tiefstarion long-fic, Branded Blood (archiveofourown.org/works/552440...), I got the cutest & sweetest commission of Flare with batstarion from @takarblism.bsky.social! 🥰❤️ love this so much I just want to squish their little faces!! #batstarion #tiefstarion #Astarion

#tavqotd part 2: most memorable as in just wildest or riskiest spot, in the docks behind the steelwatch foundry directly after blowing up, it was a very close call and "fuck we survived do you still have all your limbs LET ME CHECK" vibes were at an all time high

cw: technically monster fucking (mermaid variety) maybe i'm just way too indecisive to colour stuff, because i spent the last hour moving opacity sliders for texture layers up and down and i'm no closer to deciding if i liked the final result better than the pre pre final #nsfwart #awstarion

sometimes her scars help him make sure they're really there. he's in the present, it's not a dream about to turn bad. it's not someone else, it can only be her because that pattern of dips and divots is only hers like a fingerprint
