Hey creatives: Folks will remember. If you were aggressively against AI, like Gutierrez was as recent as last year, and then suddenly turn around and go NO I GET IT NOW IT'S AMAZING as soon as you get a project with a big payday? Your peers will not forget that. You will never be trusted again.

for context, the UK is just above Georgia in gender recognition. in Georgia there IS no legal recognition of transition - gender affirming care, name change, etc is illegal or doesn't exist. how fucking shameful

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

i was excited for this, i have a bunch of old DA tarot print shirts DO NOT BUY THIS. it's absolutely disgusting. the print is like a sheet of plastic on a (lovely) soft tee. it crackles when it moves. nothing at all like the old style shirts. #dragonage gear.bioware.com/en-eu/produc...

if your stockroom uses u-line products your company is bankrolling this.

In light of some conversations in the artists sphere about using 3D models and Photo references- We want to share an episode we did with the wonderful @adorkastock.com to talk about why references are SO important!

My baby princess would have been 18 today. I miss you every day, Audrey.

When you see people say “what’s the problem with Hoyo going all in on genAI if they’re only using their in house content and not stealing from artists” Try to understand that they’re clearly taking from others and putting it in their house, presenting it as their own. And then going all in on AI.

the only service I see putting in the work is @ellipsus.com - and that's for getting people off Google Docs. All these other places just do not handle importing your stuff in any meaningful way

It’s really frightening.

Google is so borked

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

But that can't be! Reese Witherspoon said women need to use AI to avoid getting left behind! 🤔

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

And my medieval hood is done! All hand embroidered by yours truly and attached a linen lining by hand because i think that's fun 😌💚

This needs too be normalized at conventions.

So any sale would be more than a relief right now. Putting my stuff at 20%OFF (drivethrurpg discount will take a moment to kick in). I have stock art for fantasy projects: creatures, items and maps, as well as maps for personal use. 🗺️ salvaterra.itch.io 🧭 www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

idk I still like robots in fiction, despite being an AI hater. Maybe it's because my robo blorbo is a former human and struggling with the fact that he's a robot now and what that means, or maybe it's because robots in fiction are generally self aware and I know how "AI" works and it's not that, hm

I am an artist. so is everyone around me. they seek us out and try to destroy our lives with doxxing, harassment, and get us fired from our jobs. but yeah sure I'm probably just letting them get to me.

Continuing my free will streak.

Cawthon’s fans have said some of the most vile shit to me for daring to point this out. They blame me for “driving him away” when in reality he just didn’t want to stand by his own harmful actions, and they *are* harmful. Present tense.

Throwing this up for (at least in my time zone) the late night people. Thank you all for giving it a poke!

Ok y'all, on this lovely day of burning plantation a quick thread about an incredibly important and very deliberately-erased part of this region's history that ain't fascist lost cause lies. Let's talk about the widespread anti-confederate resistance in the South...

EVERYONE QUIET SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL HAPPENED “Meet Solenostomus snuffleupagus, named after the beloved Sesame Street character, Mr. Snuffleupagus.”

Think of it this way: using ChatGPT is like employing a scheming eunuch whose obsequious lies will make your life difficult and embarrassing.

Art vs artist

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

Cultists devoted to Torment Nexus think that prophets who created the Torment Nexus and warned everyone about it would think Torment Nexus is good.

"this piece of media has gross stuff in it" man damn that sucks, did you talk to your mom about how the parental controls aren't working

Hey artists! Are you prepared for an unexpected drive failure? Do you practice good data hygiene?

I'm doing covers for this series :)
