It's gone btw lol

This is, in fact, hotly contested legislation and its failure requires you to speak up

bluesky ain't been in operation long enough to alienate its lewd artists for profit

While I am generally not the target market for any sort of nonconsensual sexual content, there is absolutely no world in which you can trust to the discretion of moderators in judging this sort of thing. It will always end badly, and in a different place from where YOU thought the line was.

Remember these are the same guys a single old man called "weirdos" last November and they all started crying and chirping it was too mean on every possible outlet they had available. Do not be scared of them, bully and laugh at them for the losers they are.

Thank you, Damon. Thank you, Jamie. Thank you Gorillaz 🇵🇸 donate.togetherforpalestine.org/campaigns/to...

Quickly losing the good faith I begrudgingly gave bluesky leadership that have career history in crypto and silicon valley tech.

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

The great thing about videogames is there already exists more games than I'd ever be able to play in a single life time, so there is absolutely no reason why I have to bother with anything using AI, generative, shite. Easiest thing for me in the world to go "Oh? not playing that then"

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

Speaking from exp, the hardest part of a campaign is when you're halfway into it when the newness has worn off. It feels like you're not getting as much done and can feel like a slog. THESE ARE LIES! You're as effective, if not more, than you were before. You just have to keep being consistent.

PRESSURE PAYPAL! it's good that visa and mastercard call centers are feeling the pinch, but it's not just on them! put the pins on paypal! every adult artist you know lives in fear of the paypal freeze out--but as customers, you're safe! support us with a call!

Deskilling is real. This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service. Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

grumble grumble

art engaging with sexuality is a core part of human experience. stand with artists and sex workers forever and always ✌️”sexual deviancy” is constructed by those with power— that definition will keep widening! fight that shit!!!!!!

My most terminally online leftist disapproved stance is that copyright fuckin slaps as a concept and even in a gay luxury space communism situation I think it should still exist. It’s not just about money, it’s about having control of your own work, who uses it, and how.

Folks! The ban against states regulating AI is DEAD! It’s was voted 99-1! This victory belongs to us all! Unfettered GenAi is an issue for us all, and groups from all walks of life came together to demand we regulate! Your calls and action made the difference! So thank you everyone! We did this!

Folks, US banning any kind of AI regulation happening in the states is about to be voted on soon!! CALL your Senators ASAP!! Zach gave us a great break down bellow so check out his thread and lets do it! It’s GO TIME!

Hey all! I'm an artist and gamedev who likes building worlds and exploring different styles in Unity/UE5. I'm currently developing a project with some talented folks that I'm excited to share in the near-ish future. In the meantime, here's a compilation of look dev work I've done previously.

Israel illegally boarded a humanitarian mission in international waters with heavy weaponry, then disappeared the crew. Al Jazeera is the only one I can find that is reporting on this without Israeli fluff or propaganda. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Lines of Pee

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Yet again, there is an uptick in good art on my feed after June 1st...hmmmmmmmm

Hey, Art Directors! Your freelancers are working hard, without insurance, or paid time off. Any enthusiasm you can bring to your art-feedback communications is a massive quality of life improvement for your artists. We get excited to work with people that are excited to work with us! :)

Visual development art by Paul Felix for Lilo & Stitch (2002), dir. Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois

It literally only took 5-6 minutes with 5call. I hate phone calls and was surprised how frictionless it was. Seriously yall, call your reps.

Allowing a little here and a little there means it's used as a precedent and in 5 years it's infected everything and there's no way to take it back. The fight for the soul of the art industry happens in places like this. Zero tolerance 🤷‍♀️

Honestly, if college wasn't simply a class-gating of professional networks and certain jobs, if it was actually geared towards producing a more learned and discerning society, it'd look a lot different. Maybe AI isn't so much a "death knell" as it is exposing the fundamental structural issue.

Protector of the last child, the Mothmage lights the way with moon magic. #Cosmos #characterdesign #conceptart #gameart

Cardi B's met gala fit is so good why aren't more people praising it??

I wish you could see people's likes because it was such a fantastic way to find art on other SM 😭

A break from Cosmos to psot this higher def version of my Primal Rage redesigns, Diablo and Sauron! Vertigo is next 🐍

LRT with every of these “NFTs deleted; now worthless” stories coming out I need you to remember that we were told it’s the future, it’s inevitable, its the future of money and your house will be registered on it and your car will be registered on it and if you don’t get it NOW you’ll be left behind.

The Israeli military is bombing Gaza again, breaching the ceasefire. Hundreds of people are already reported killed. This is not because they could not use diplomacy to achieve the goals that made them agree to the ceasefire. It is because having achieved them, they can now resume the genocide.

Shadows give rise to something new. We’re excited to reveal that a new DLC is in the works, which will include - among other features - a new biome and a new species: BATS! 🦇 Check out the full announcement: store.steampowered.com/news/app/133...

no april fools joke from pikmin bloom yet again. you might think this is a flaw, but this is just pikmin bloom informing the playerbase that it always keeps things 100% real with us. Something that’s hard to find today in our #society . Like and reblog if blue pikmin is your lord and savior

art vs artist

I don't remember if I posted these here, but I did some VFX concept art works for Riot a while ago for the Steve Aoki and Soul Fighters TFT events

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

Can't stress it enough - China is the country with the strictest laws on AI training, which were passed in haste to protect their entertainment industry and international deals. If America throws copyright to the wayside, they'll still lose the AI race, but they'll also lose their biggest industry.

One of my favorite artists is on Bluesky, give them some follows!

I got to burden two friends with the knowledge of pizza time last night and I'm still riding high off it

I just played through Okami for the 3rd time few months ago, I'm in shock

okami...........

My friends are incredible people, I wish we were not on opposite sides of the planet 😭

I updated my blender version from years ago and there are so many more features holy schmoly
