Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

If it’s run for profit, then it’s profiting off of … us. When I hear that the post office lost money, I think this: Good. We already paid for it. Why on earth should it make even more money from us? Who would keep the money? Would we see it?

In the same way, a comic is not made by “the artist” or “the writer”. There is often the figure of the colorist. There is also the letterer, the editor(s), the translator… Perhaps if the development processes were more widely known, people would value the artworks and their costs more highly.

The way this little cunt permanently changed my vocabulary I swear to god. Whenever I'm out now I'm like "I should get myself a treato." Thank you for teaching me to love myself popper the circus kobold.

Dismayed by the "I loathe Gl**ner but his arrest should scare us all" takes. The bar for arrest over a social media post *should be extremely high*, but a guy who's harassed trans people 19 hours a day for 8 years, telling his 600k fans to attack any trans women they see, clears that bar v easily?

Games so often bring people on for one game. Especially concept teams. These people are, by definition, contractors. Working contract to contract.

Hahhahaha perfect timing. "Hey everyone you're getting cold feet about ai capex, great news, we need more money than anyone has ever asked for. Also we aren't going to make as much from selling access to our actual models, just our error ridden search engine that drives people insane."

I was Concept Artist and designed the characters, weapons and mechs. But I was still a contractor. The point made is about contractors having a large influence on a game despite games reporting loving to deny it.

I would get upset about Bethesda using GenAI for fallout merch but honestly they've done it before and at this point I expect nothing of this series beyond using it to sell merch.

Yeah, no. I'm a contractor, I write for games, and sometimes that means writing 100% of a game's text. I'm a valuable part of the team! Contractors aren't just "support", they deserve to be credited (and treated) better than this

I was contractor on Rollerdrome. The idea that we are negligible to game development is unwell. 💀

People who don't work in arts-based industries generally don't understand that employment is the exception in most of those industries, not the rule. Freelancers aren't an add-on, they're the workforce.

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.

everyone loves the prequels. everyone loves knowing every single details about every single Glup Shittus and everyone loves having every single passing lines or a mystery something being explained completely into a more boring and uninteresting version of what everyone thought it was going to be.

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

actually its trans ideology which has captured institutions et al please ignore how everyone in politics and media is at best 3 degrees of separation from a bigot organisation

It doesn't matter what Corbyn or Sultana have said in the past, if YourParty continues to engage with transphobes it can't say it supports trans and non-binary individuals, or expect our support in turn, and this is not the first time this has happened since it launched.

If you are ever worried about drawing something weird and horny because you are mutuals with or followed by some industry professionals, know that the sexy watto trend was started by industry professionals...

Good morning~☀️🫠今日のらくがきで〜す

this is a watto if it was Paulie from the sopranos

I love @maconblair.bsky.social like a brother. This is just the most recent reason.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

Every couple of years I have a new Mortal Enemy and I can tell you that all of my mental energy is trained on sending a spiritual death ray to Sam Altman, what a fucking nightmare idiot grifter jfc

Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw

I'm not really a religious person, but I hope there's an afterlife so that when whoever wrote this passes on they can be confronted by it with no room to hide or deflect from their craven cowardice, and that the weight of that spiritual burden drags them straight down to hell where they belong
