ko-fi.com/s/132869d554 new shawl up in the shop I need to raise money for a vet bill. Not urgent, but until the procedure is done, certain others are postponed, including some prophylactic care. All purchases & commissions would help with this. #onlineshopping #skullmotif #skullshawl #crochetshawl

Despair Is Not Wisdom

In a sea of AI clones… embrace the typo. In a synthetic slop world… write like yourself. To err is human; to keep it real, divine. 💪

Quick note for those who use both Nightshade and Glaze. If you run an image through Nightshade 1.1 and then run the result through Glaze 2.2, you get an error. This is a naming bug, easily fixed. You just rename the file after nightshade is done. Then glaze. Ty to btsensej.bsky.social for the fix.

Generative AI isn’t improving anything—on the contrary, slop fatigue and scraping scares are making reading and publishing more difficult, and less free. We need communities resilient to Big Tech’s hostile takeover. We need human minds, human art, and human voices more than ever.

You can become disabled at any time--and probably will, if you live long enough. Keep that in mind... #disabled #disability

A lot longer than 10 years, but yeah. #62million

As humans, we experience. We think, and feel, and make mistakes, and learn, and grow. There is no world in which AI could ever capture that. Ever. No matter what humanity has been through, the constant is art, story-telling, creativity. I will take handprints on a cave wall any day.

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

Those pushing AI written work fundamentally misunderstand the value and point of writing. Writing can’t “optimize” for word patterns or “token frequency”—writing is about experimentation, externalizing inward experience, and making connections, writer-to-reader.

uquiz.com/quiz/vNQPkn/... Saw that coming. Surprised Whump>After Care didn't show. Maybe that's not an option?

Something to bear in mind. #62million

i think this is only going to get more important in the current tidal wave of ai shit. ai slop is "content". what YOU make ISNT CONTENT

I'm of the opinion that we need everyone we can get for the midterms and 2028 election, regardless of their past choices. Buuuut, we are not friends. You have a long, LONG road of redemption ahead of you, and voting out the people you voted IN is but Step One.

what did i damn tell you. your twitter views are faaaaaaaaake

Don't disrespect Patty like that. #feminism #history #TheGoodPlace

Haha I looked up the quote in Japanese, it's even angrier: "...口だけ開けて雨と誇りだけ食べて辛うじて生きてろ” "....I hope you barely survive, and open you mouth only to eat dust and drink rain."

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

My shadow isn't mine anymore. It still follows me. It has the right shape. But I know it's not me. I see its edges fray when I move. I see it squirm when I'm still. I know that when I look at it, it watches back. Can't remember the time it took over. I'm afraid to think it has always been there.

Social media conditions us to be aware of everyone and everything every waking moment and I literally cannot be asked to do that. Just Be kind to each other.

posting this 'ol thing again for no reason

This is so, so well-articulated.

Glaze 2.2 is out. It is an update for Windows users to support recent NVidia GPUs (including 50xx GPUs). Downloads at: glaze.cs.uchicago.edu Mac users do not need to update. We are also updating Nightshade to fix the True bug and also support new GPUs. That update is coming in the next few days.

Help this artist get on Vgen by liking and reposting the OG post. Not my quote post.

Study shows a 90% overlap between AI-generated text and the original works. This is plagiarism on steroids. These companies cannot be trusted. Anti-scraping safeguards are the way forward.

Slop is flooding every corner of published content, fuelling a culture of systemic misinfo. An estimated 110,000 scholarly publications from 2025 contain fake references. Yikes! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Be sure to add bleach--gotta keep those computers clean! #genai #artificialintelligence

The main thing AI has taught me is a profound new appreciation for human intelligence (and human writing and art!), particularly that which emerges from longstanding experience, expertise and mastery.

Every single person I know and met has an element of their past they're not proud of, or learned or grew from. Everyone I know has thought and/or done something they today regret, or abhor. Anyone who believes otherwise of themselves is dangerously delusional at best, a dangerous liar at worst.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Here's the full cover art of @shantiland.bsky.social and my comic adaptation of @travisbaldree.bsky.social's Legends & Lattes! We've been working on it for the last year, and I'm so excited that it'll be available to cozy up with this fall 😊☕

IG years ago flagged and disabled my account as well for undisclosed community violations & refused to answer any messages or emails I sent appealing the action. I wasn't fortunate to have a lawyer or attorney. I tried to restart with a second account but it just was not the same. Godspeed Gretchen.

You know what to do folks. Have your say.

Sounds like somebody's gotta get yeeeelled atttttt. I didn't realize this was the case about Kofi. But since it seems to be the direction they want to go. You know what to do.

I love that it just keeps getting harder and harder to run my small business. I already have to compete with free shipping and this is just gonna make it even worse.

The AI industry wants you to believe slop content is inevitable—but it’s just not true. When we stand together against artistic exploitation and the slopification of culture, we have the power to shape public opinion. 🦀🦀🦀🦀

Shit like this is why we're discontinuing free domestic shipping on our Kickstarters. We can't eat the losses, anymore.

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

I just want all artists to succeed and make cool shit. I want a world where all artists could just make so much art that every story can find its audience and every audience can find its story. I just want to live in a world where we can all bask in the joy of getting to make and participate in art.
