the pokemon tcg hobby feels so bleak sometimes sealed product at msrp has been it's own sport to actually find over the last 3 years and now singles are extremely inflated to the point where you're overpaying for cardboard 😔

I've added more features to the sample and I'm so excited to get these made 👀✨️🌸 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/z... [ #pokemon #pokemontcg #cutart]

This "ai code/art is already everywhere and impossible to avoid so you should just relax about people using it" shit has to stop, it's not remotely true. Same exact shit as "it's the inevitable future!" or "you can't put the genie back in the bottle!!" We can literally do whatever the fuck we want

It's almost Art Fight time again and I am once again imploring everyone to actually have fun and just draw what they want. It's Art Fight, it's not supposed to be serious.

I had to put one on my own water bottle as a prozac gal 🥵

felt like giving myself psychic damage today. this is only one of my student loans and it started at 23K. and this is me paying on an aggressively accelerated timeline for at least a half-decade targeting the ones with the highest rates bundled in this total.

Your outwards bitterness and jealousy towards your peers + complaining about not having more than twenty people who support and adore your work is scaring away what little audience you have bro. It’s killing the genuine love that small group of people has for your stories, bro.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

Happy gay month!! 🎉🎉🎉🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Exist, resist, and find time to be your fun little self! ✨️ The world is better with you in it 🌸🌼🌷

kinda love the idea of not abandoning tech entirely but merely de-evolving it back to when it did only what it was originally supposed to do and didn't steal your data

Just let me draw pictures!! 🚫🗯️ [ #cuteart #illustration ]

I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage

it's already embarrassing to be using AI in general, but to suddenly shill for it a crisp 3 years in when tech just laid off like 100,000 people due to lack of AI dividends is another level of embarrassing entirely.

How to use AI ethically: 1) DO NOT USE AI. THERE IS NOTHING ETHICAL ABOUT IT.

I don't feel like speaking directly at pitches that pose the idea that selling your art is a privilege b/c most aren't acting in good faith. But there are aspects of owning your work + making a living that Are a privilege- but the REAL TAKE is that owning your work should be The Standard.

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

my cousin took his life. everything is on hold, I'm sorry.

what do we think should i bring these sticky notes back or

another day 🙃
