WHICH ONE WILL IT BE, 30-YEAR-OLD FURRY ARTIST??? #shitpost

Wanna help a struggling artist work towards getting their life back on track? If you're interested in TTRPGs, tattoos, messy artstyles, or just my work in general, give it a look! vampirescart.carrd.co Sharing this post with your friends and folks who might be interested would also be appreciated

wow, I am genuinely heartened by this surprisingly sensitive response. I would've been satisfied if they'd just clarified what they were doing, but ending their donation funding after the initial wave and saying explicitly that no AI is going to be a part of Blender is great. thank you blender, ilu

Quicksilver is written by a team of volunteers at ETCH lab. Stanley Wu, Naryna Azizpour and Viresh Mittal. You can download it (for free of course), links below: www.etch-humanity.org/etch-lab/qui... www.etch-humanity.org/etch-lab/qui...

Update #2: Quicksilver, a detector for AI-generated music. Most folks today are not aware that AI-generated music (entire songs generated by AI models) are growing rapidly. Today, there are more AI-generated songs than human-created songs arriving each week on platforms like Spotify.

Happy Monday. Today we're making a few updates/announcements. First up: our nonprofit ETCH is alive on the web. etch-humanity.org ETCH: Ethical Technology and Computing for Humanity. ETCH is not another AI nonprofit. It is a nonprofit that explicitly prioritizes people over AI.

"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."

I don't even know if chatgpt is an app or is it on the browser or what, I have never even felt the need to find out where AI is and how to use it, it's so little of interest to me. I love creating! So why would I let someone else come eat my steak and fuck my wife etc!?

I can finally post this, hehe! My piece that I did for @storyindungeon.bsky.social ‘s dungeon meshi zine! I did one of my all time favorite fairytales with Falin and Marcille!

They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖

//Scam Warning// Discord scammers are at it again, now they're playing smart and actively targeting furries AND the size community. I've already seen three instances of this same conversation. Do not download or click stuff, even from your most trusted friends, without confirming who they are.

For folks who've got me added on discord: My discord account has been compromised, so do not accept any files or click any links or images if you get anything from me there; You /SHOULDN'T/ get anything, as I've already kicked the hacker from my account and pc so it should be safe; (1/2)

The whole story is bizarre. The boss is a guy who's completely lost his marbles, screams at workers when things go wrong, uses a picture of Charles Manson as his LinkedIn profile profile picture, etc. 😓 Here's some threads for context. www.reddit.com/r/portugal/c... www.reddit.com/r/portugal2/...

This "studio" has been a huge problem for the portuguese community for years, especially because the way they operate is by burning through gamedev students via internships. The unfortunate ones that have worked for them say their work culture is as toxic in person as it is written in their website.

Having worked in the local industry in the early 2000s, first it didn't seem especially outrageous by comparison, but more and more fishy details popped up. I thought it was just a douchy edgelord team with a shady mobile porn game connection, but it seems it's all run by a complete maniac

But actually I'm just now learning about the more sordid details. I only knew as far as scammy "art tests" (people sending finished art and getting not even rejection emsils) and work being an assembly line of porn-ish character rigging. People ended up quitting.

Oh these guys are going viral? Lol a couple of my students did internships there before it was confirmed to be a den of adult baby douchebags. Intern rip-off mill. So funny to see this blow up.
