The scam website that is trying to steal money from artists is back, new logo and... very hastily made website. Be wary of them, block and report and warn other artists.

You do know that Twitter's engagement numbers are too high because of accounts that aren't real and they just want the numbers up to convince people to stay on Twitter Don't be manipulated by Twitter's algorithm and some of my art is going better on BlueSky because real people shared and liked it

Twitter users are spreading some crazy misinfo about Bluesky amid this AI art situation. I have a really cynical read on all this — I think there’s fearmongering on Twitter to prevent people from leaving. “Please don’t walk out of the jail, even though the door is open”

Basically; I took her into my home after she claimed she was being abused by her parents (which was a lie) While she was here she: -Touched me -touched my dog -took a bunch of her pills and ran off so we'd have to hunt her down -made me the asshole if I ever had to confront her on anything

@rittzler.bsky.social (creator of Pseudoregalia), has had their Discord and email hacked and is linking to a virus in disguise. If you see anything linking to a game called "Furfall", DO NOT engage with it. It's not made by Rittz and isn't a real game (it's a Remote Access Trojan) DO NOT CLICK IT.

@hansungkee.bsky.social got phished or whatever. do not trust any dms you might get from em.

I'll post here as well, for the new Bluesky folks (or those that did not know of the feature), Logged-out visibility "Discourage apps from showing my account to logged-out users. Bluesky will not show your profile and posts to logged-out users." This does not make your account private.

twitter users be like

For further further context, it doesn't "remove" Glaze. Glaze was only ever a tool that inserted adversarial noise patterns to fool certain image generation training datasets. It's not a magic "no AI button." There is no amount of poisoning you can do to combat this type of image generation.

This is fucking awful. No matter HOW much time you spent on something - no matter how much of your skill and practice went into being able to do it - a complete stranger can IMMEDIATELY copy it into any number of things, take credit for it, and profit from it. I’m begging you all - GET OFF TWITTER

"This doesn't affect you because you animate, so you are fine." No. This sucks and this is really dangerous. In solidarity with all artists, Please be cautious. I know many will remain on Twitter because they have mostly everything here but be aware this time it's worse than the other times.

Users are noticing Twitter/X has added a Grok-powered AI image editor that lets anyone edit any image on the platform, including other people’s artwork using text prompts. Artists warn there’s no opt-out or consent, raising concerns over unauthorized edits and misuse.

Hey #furry #artists, it’s time to leave. Like now is the time to break off hard. This is surprisingly real. Usually it’s hard to tell if it’s hyperbole, but this is not. And if Twitter fucks up? Max $100 payout to you. Safe link to TOS: archive.is/Ky7gY Only way out is to deactivate the account.

Just to tl;dr it for some: posting art on X going forward means you are giving up all rights to that art, whether you made it or own the characters in it. It will be used for AI and AI training. It will be used by the X editing program. Please stop ignoring the obvious. It is owned by n*zis.

Twitter has implemented a shitty feature that lets you take any image of ANYONE, click edit, and it adds AI stuff. My fucking god, what the fuck is this shit? anyone can do this with your posts.

Wow, it even seems like having a name to hold on Twitter is still a bad idea. Maybe just drop it entirely. For Good.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being. Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Beware of @cal1xmonst3ra!! They’ve gone by RedTsuyoku/NeilYeen/GregTiger/Red_Avenier and they’ve scammed people out of 100s of dollars. I also was scammed, but i only sent them a few bucks before. My buddy paintfox unfortunately gave them like $150 and never heard back.

I don't see anyone talk here yet but appearantly X (former twitter) has push out "Edit Image" features early today that let you edit any picture post (even to older post) with (assumingly) grok AI here's some of video in action too

I know a lot of you don’t wanna budge, but seriously, where is your line? It’s owned by a Nazi, filled with same ilk and bots, and employs this shit. I know this place is no paradise, but how much bullshit are you willing to keep taking till you just say no and leave?

You do not need cop dragon moms. You just don't. This person was shitty years ago about protesters and they've only gotten worse. Massive ick anytime their work crosses my timeline. You don't need boot licking dragons.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Heya! A scammer in telegram is impersonated my identity, please if this user has communicated with you, it is NOT me, please report that account!!!!

Beware of these discord accounts going around. These bots adopt TAGS from Furry related Servers where there is no moderation on who joins in order to look more realistic, Always check creation date, servers & friends in common, Ignore random friend req, never click on sus links, even from friends.

Your favorite GameDev is being forced to use AI in your favorite games under the threat of unemployment by a CEO who promises they are only used on the "boring parts" parts of the game, like paying a liveable wage to the artists who break their backs to bring your entertainment.

They were already on the naughty list but now they've got their whole ass out in the most embarrassing manner.

By the way, if any of you all are using anything "created" by Made By Olof, including that Bluesky Unwrapped thing, just a word of caution. He uses and loves genAI. Literally says it on his profile. Also, shoutout to @camcantanything.bsky.social for pointing it out.

AMERICAN FRIENDS! The Trump Administration is aiming to weaken the Endangered Species Act. This would threaten habitats in favor of corporations. You can fight back!! CHECK OUT THE LINK! It guides you step by step! Do it for them: 🐺Red wolf 🐢Green sea turtle 🦅California condor 🐾Black-footed ferret

posting for acknowledgement since a couple of mutuals follow em and prob don't know but @gutted.live has done cub porn of someone's sona without consent, and this seems to be a reoccurring issue they have openly interacted with the person they've done this too so if they follow you beware and block

I don't feel this is talked about enougth. Turn OFF this setting in telegram, it on by default and downloads files when ya open messages automaticly. So if you get a hacked file, you're auto fucked.

Another bill aimed at repealing section 230 has been introduced, this time in the senate Please continue to advocate for protecting Sec 230 to your reps. We dont know how much support these bills will get yet, but they are obviously trying to push this issue www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...

Friendly reminder to remove the ?si= from the URLs you share from platforms. I joke about "I'm not clicking that video you shared and messing up my algorithm," but that little URL query string is designed to convey "who shared this" and it helps form a link between you. Which advertisers love.

Reposting this with alt text. Delete your Twitter. Now.

….still thinking about that one person who got on my case for leaving Twitter, lol.

An old journal comic repost to remind myself that the time is now and I’m not stuck

I really want to emphasize that this is a winnable fight, but everyone has to chip in in order to do so! Please dont sit it out expecting others to stand in your place! And dont ignore local/state level stuff! As these state laws get overturned, the narrative behind the Fed ones lose steam!

#SaveSpeech Netchoice won their legal battle against Age verification in louisiana! This follows similar rulings in AK and OH! This is huge! These laws can be stopped, they can be overturned. Do not give in to dooming! Keep calling your reps and support orgs that fight these laws in court!

This week is the last week before Congress goes on December recess. When calling your House Rep also mention these bills: KOSA SCREEN Act COPPA 2.0 RESET Act Sammy Act App Store Accountability Act GAMING Act Safe Messaging for Kids Act Parents over Platforms Act (1/5)

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.

#SaveSpeech We only have about a week before most legislators go out for a holiday recess, so i recommend giving your reps a call to oppose bad internet bills! I've included a script i adapted from one initially written by FFtF www.congress.gov/members/find... www.badinternetbills.com

This is pretty easy to sign, I would encourage it. If you are a wolf sona, you are required to do this. Seriously no need to call on the phone either. Hell even the comments say how pointless this killing would be. So anyways, save the wolf. Do this now. Takes like 3 minutes. Save your species.

HEED THE OMEN OF THE ROWLING CUBE.

CANCEL your Fortnite subscriptions and DELETE the game from all your computers. Choosing—and yes, it is a CHOICE— to license Harry Potter in 2025 sends a message: "We do not care about trans people." No amount of Miku or trans-colored cosmetic items can make up for this. bsky.app/profile/jazz...

You need to contact your representative and demand that Section 230 be protected, not repealed, NOW. www.congress.gov/members/find...

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! www.badinternetbills.com

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

i really recommend using this website to maximize your calls re: tomorrow's markdown meeting in the House energy and commerce committee. it connects you to various relevant legislators and gives you a script as well!

Tomorrow the 11th, there will be a markup on various "child safety" bills This is part of the process where they are debated and amended before moving forward It is a good idea to make some rep calls TODAY and make it clear which bills are currently unacceptable and why

if you want a quick and easy way to help take down KOSA, remember that 5Calls has a section for KOSA! 5calls.org/issue/kids-o...
