Obviously, when major studios like Warner, Disney, and even Universal have active lawsuits against AI companies, "adoption" will be lower (we know that those who adopt it in cinema is not because they are interested in AI but in the check paid by venture capital).

'Flow' cost $4M. 'Hundreds of Beavers' was shot in 12 weeks and cost $150,000. Artists rethink what movies are, techbros rethink how to shaft the people who make them. www.theverge.com/news/773584/...

Even when you use it, you're still a victim: Misinformation, manipulation, and, above all, dependency. No technology has ever been that bad, not only in its use, but also in its creation.

I just can't morally use AI. The energy it uses, the work it steals, and the biases it has. Am I missing something?

While we’re on the topic @monkechrome.bsky.social has also been dishonest about using AI in their works; it’s openly stated in their Twitter bio but they make no mention of it here and blocked me for asking. They are also taking Patreon and commission money for this.

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices, If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text. You get the idea. If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

Mic drop from @abeba.bsky.social at UNESCO Digital Learning Week

If you're at UNESCO hearing and thinking about #AI, I strongly urge you to take your guidance from @emilymbender.bsky.social and @abeba.bsky.social rather than the people trying to marketise these chatbot technologies. Avoid solutionism. Reality is messy. Don't believe the hype. Remain critical.

Teens calling Idaho's suicide hotline are being told they can't proceed with the conversation without parental consent. Many of the callers are then hanging up. Idaho approved a strict parental consent law last year. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/08/29/i...

yesterday this petition had less than 800 signatures. today it has almost 2500. can we get it to 5k next? come on number go up bay bee!!

So Visa and Mastercard have a huge problem with legal adult content "damaging their brand"? But somehow they dont't have any problem making money from child abuse in Roblox for over a decade (and going). Truly the right companies to be our moral guardians.

Can someone tell me how to use Clip Studio Gold? I won a prize, but I don't even know how to use it.

AI slop and the destruction of knowledge irisvanrooijcogsci.com/2025/08/12/a...

In which a cognitive scientist discovers that the definition for ‘domain-general cognitive ability’ on *ScienceDirect* is AI-generated slop, and completely wrong

Well, at least I win something considering I started working on it late, next time I'll try to do better. www.clipstudio.net/en/cspcontes...

I wanted to share my art at least once after so much time. I feel like if I don't protect it, it will be stolen, like they did to thousands, or rather, millions of my fellow artists. I made this for a CSP contest. I hope I get lucky.

Exciting news :D

Heroes.

新しい学習阻害の研究が進んでいるらしい…こちらも対策の為に学ばねば bsky.app/profile/theg...

Oh yeah baby!!!!!

Update thread #2. Hemlock One thing we worked on is a different tool to complement Nightshade. We discovered a new attack on diffusion models that is more generalizable than Nightshade. It targets an entirely different part of AI training pipeline, basically making AI models poison themselves.

Glaze公式から。 拡散モデルに対する新しい攻撃を発見し 、Nightshadeを補完する異なるツールに取りんでいたとのこと。この研究は査読済みで、ACM CCS 2025で発表予定。Nightshadeよりも汎用性が高く、基本的にAIモデルが自分自身を汚染させるものらしい。

WIP, don't let the appearance fool you, it's going to be SFW since it's for a ClipStudio contest

I'm seeing a lot of Uma Musume fan art again... I just hope other fandoms revive... I miss the Kemono Friends fandom.

Denmark to tackle deepfakes by giving people copyright to their own features

デンマーク政府、AIディープフェイク問題に対処する為に全ての国民に自分の顔、身体的特徴と声の著作権を認める法改正をこの秋提案予定。 この法改正が実現すれば、理論上デンマーク国民は同意なしに公開された自分のディープフェイクコンテンツの削除をプラットフォーム管理者に要求できるようになる。 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Soon the elections will return in Japan, please all artists and the public in general, avoid voting for those who promised things like protecting artists or protecting freedom of expression only so that when they are in power they end up supporting the AI companies

I don’t think there’s a single serious critic who says AI’s not useful? The concerns I see are about content rights, worker impacts, environmental effects, epistemological threats, or media manipulation. But that’s all predicated on the idea that it *does* work, often too well for people to manage…

I would say “rapidly destroying the environment and eroding people’s ability to think for themselves” classifies as “not useful.”

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?' Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

Meta's AI discover feed is (still!) leaking user conversations with its AI. With its scale/import in shaping people's perception of reality, it is hard to think of a worse actor in the AI space than Meta, or to imagine a more invasive, user-hostile product than this www.404media.co/meta-invents...

Seriously, I'm sick of this. Even with all the ethical problems involved in their development, the capitalist slime that market them, their many unlawful and harmful uses, you're still gonna go "Yeah uh but it makes coding slightly faster" or "it can help me remember a word so imma use it" fuck you

Friendly reminder that I offer mentorships for emerging artists! I have 3 spots open for a summer 3 month program: www.kellymckernan.com/services/zpg...

a class action lawsuit against Apple for false advertising and unfair competition. and if you've purchased some Apple products, you might be able to join too. check it out clarksonlawfirm.com/lp/apple-int...

3 pieces to get to know me

I'm glad the strike is over, but I'll never stop thinking about the nasty tactics certain voice actors engaged in in just to "hurry up and get back to work" for a handful of dying and corrupt companies, and I know I'm not the only one. Many voice actors got a foul look at their heroes this strike.

2015 vs 2020... Although I have improved in digital inking, I still feel that I am lacking a lot in color, and that is why I am still holding back from adding color to this drawing.

The CEO of RunwayML has previously blocked me because of these types of criticisms, but I'd love for him to explain why he's ripping off existing movies for their AI products. Is one class action lawsuit not enough?🧵

“No Kings”. Los Angeles. Just wow. Americans all across the country are rising up in protest of Donald Trump.

Saw an interesting article yesterday, reporting on the beginnings of a wave of regret for companies that try to replace human workers with AI. Filed under "No kidding, you don't say!! 🤦" futurism.com/klarna-opena...

Quick informational update. Webglaze was dealing with some intermittent network issues in the last few days. Yesterday our dept mail server was acting up, and webglaze outgoing emails with results were blocked. I've been told that is now fixed and queued messages should be sent out already.

Last month AI crawlers generated 90% of my site's traffic, forcing me to pay penalties Problem solved after moving nameservers to Cloudflare+turning on AI crawler blocking. Site monthly outbound data back to ~40GB per month, down from 800GB (!!) No impact on human visitors
