Go Fest itself is delightful-- I went exclusively for the vendors and to listen to Under the Deku Tree. 🙂‍↕️ I love a Pokemon event! I do hope the organizers realize that letting vendors like that in makes people question the integrity of the event. #pokemon #PNW

Some shameless art theft out at Vancouver Go Fest this weekend. They need to vet their vendors a bit harder next year. There are so many independent artists that would be a great fit for this event. They don't need to settle for slop and theft. Anyway go support @seviyummy.bsky.social !!

Yeah perennial PSA: If you ever get a captcha that asks you to use specific keys by name (especially if they have special names like Alt, Control, Command, etc): That is malware, not a captcha.

Damn, Summer anime season has hands (Ghost in the Shell, Sayonara Lara, A Witch's Life in Mongolia)

What do you MEAN all of the characters in Magic Knight Rayearth are named after cars?????????????

I need y'all to understand that I teach high school and there are teenagers already planning to leave the U.S. to because they will be studying science or medicine. They are SO serious about it - saving money, learning extra languages, and looking to see if there are familial connections abroad.

can't stop thinking about this post. it's the most perfectly annoying amount of money to spend bc it so easily stacks to kick your fucking ass

For no reason. I am BEGGING people to up the saturation on dark skinned characters. Please I beg. You don’t have to be scared of your characters getting too dark. Mooooooove your saturation slider. Stop making your brown people ashy corpses 😭😭😭

this article is circulating with a COMPLETELY bullshit framing and clickbait lie about it, the "ai cybersecurity" firm is actually training AGAINST AI and the conan series is about helping people spot deepfakes and other gen-ai material, beginning with the famous robert smigel video mouth sketches

this sucks. nashville zoo is one of the most modern, humane, and accessible zoos in the country. if you care about conservation, critters, and science, go sign and go raise hell. nash zoo is also a bastion of science and equality as a southern workplace. please please protect it.

Whoa, two bangers

genAI is poisoning our water and planet you should hate it all indiscriminately even if it "never touches" the final product

The Amazing Digital Circus and The Backrooms are beating big brands at the box office what it means: despite the power of nostalgia and familiarity, audiences actually do want to see more original stories what executives will see: "YOUTUBE IS HOT! QUICK MAKE A MR BEAST MOVIE"

Lmao this is peak tone deaf

when industry professionals say shit like "we're just using AI to generate concepts and ideas, it won't be in the finished project" all i hear is "we think concept artists are worth nothing and we do not value their time or insight" but also you are building a house on rotten foundation jesus christ

LULUCI. QUIT YOUR JOB.

im sick of the conditional bullshit, "oh you want this thing? Prove it by buying a worse version of the thing you already own" FUCK OFF!!!!!

"Listen. I don't like to preach, but here's some advice. You'll meet a lot of jerks in life. If they hurt you, remember it's because they're stupid. Don't react to their cruelty. There's nothing worse than bitterness and revenge. Keep your dignity and be true to yourself." - Marjane Satrapi

I also recommend this method (doing good) atter spreading stressful news and discussing important bleak topics. This isn't to avoid it at all but just a balance and for you to be able to recharge. Do it for the good of the world and inner peace

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): 🧵

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

1/ This company’s models were trained on web scraped datasets (like LAION) and their founders are ex-Stability AI employees who engage in the same thieving practices that led artists like myself to sue Stability. GenAi companies NEED big names to sanitize their exploitation and crippling PR.

Andy Merrill (Brak) is an Amazon delivery driver. Carey Means (Frylock) got CHF from/exacerbated by COVID & was recently working as a restaurant dishwasher. C. Martin Croker (Zorak) died of sepsis from an infected tooth he couldn't afford to get treated. Capitalism destroys both art & artist.

I love them.

Maybe more…

Its clear we missed the mark with our "Make the website suck for no apparent reason" update, so we're reverting it. We'll be taking a look at it in the coming weeks to see if we can sneak it back into production without people yelling at us. Every update will be like this until the site dies.
