Even the most well intentioned and "uniformed" studios/publishers etc needs to feel a flame so hot when they touch on this that they're scarred for life, I'm sorry. The collateral damage being a studio's *reputation* is nothing compared to the creatives whose work was stolen just to replace them.

I think this is why fascists love AI art, not because it is good, but because it is bad. Not because it is original, but because it is stolen. To make art as an expression of skill and craft and humanity reinforces humanity. To push a button that steals art and call it your own is domination.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

A bright warm moment in the bleak of this week. Today my township had a meeting about a new data center rezone for gen ai business. I went with my partner to state our feelings. I assumed it would be a small turn out and an awkward thing- a room of much older folks looking to discuss other topics.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if you could ask anyone anything in an RPG?” he asked. AI could boil through a dozen lakes and still never come up with anything as good as this.

usually you don't have to loudly insist that something is here to stay. it just stays and is self-evidently sticking around. this stuff hasn't proven to be useful in areas outside of fraud.

Anyway. My cat is real. He is good. He knows when to headbutt my phone out of my hand and purr loudly and somersault into my lap. Thanks Constable.

Ok and I'm still not entirely done shouting today so- lemme just say I think its hilariously telling how every ad I see for a/i proudly demonstrates... things most phones and computers have been doing for a decade...

This is it. This is why folks are upset about concept art and power points and temporary text and the like. I do not care how shiny and nice you clean it up, I care that artists, coders, writers, and all other creatives are fairly treated and compensated and credited. A/I does not allow for that.

This is a very divided vote. It means we've been encouraging dissent. It now goes to the full committee. Please keep calling and urging your reps to reject it

worm for you

OKAY ITS FINALLY TIME FOR A RAFFLE! This will be my road to 400 raffle and it will run from 5 december 2025 to 5 january 2026 To participate you needed to repost this and leave a comment you are entering! First prize is an (artistic freedom) illustration with bg of your oc of choice! #raffle

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word! RSVP link: bit.ly/44lRMsX Details below 👇

Boycott, boycott, boycott. The world is better when humans work together and uplift fellow humans. Support the arts, support human researchers, and denounce the company greed programs just looking to pad their pockets.

IMO, it raises the question of how useful are executives?

Bellossom wraps up poketober this year with beauty and grace! Thanks for tuning in, even if I was late posting it all! Happy to be in thoae Johto numbers! #Pokemon

The nefarious stargazer fish 🐟

Mareep wool sweaters last a lifetime but never lose their propensity for static shocks! #pokemon

Oh wait! Figured out how to get rid of the garbage Gemini button in Chrome: - Right-click - Unpin Gone!

A good update, but I think it always best to be wary in these days.

These birds want to remind you "Natu" be mean to yourself c: #Pokemon

But anyway, have a nice egg in these trying times! #Pokémon

And hey while you're all at it mention KOSA too! Protecting kids is NOT the priority of these bills! Its just the same pearl clutching trying to make the argument that lgbt+ is somehow -bad for the children- and must be censored which will -absolutely definitely harm lgbt+ people including children-

Call call call. Its outrageous we have to keep catching them like actual scooby doo villains trying to do this. We already said no. Say it LOUDER.

Who said every babymon was sugar and spice? Do not get on the bad side of an Igglybuff! #pokemon

The best npc in pokemon is the scary biker and his beloved cleffa. ❤️ #Pokemon

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

fo- five. five shrews tall.

I'm finally through 90% of my comm work from last month and was really lookingf forward to drawing my OCs and now I am having sudden onset nerve pain 🙃

Whoever came up with spiky ear pichu was very very right about it. #Pokemon

From flashy flotsam to luminous lure fish! Chinchou and Lantern make for an excellent teammate with their dual electric/water moveset! #pokemon

Crobats may look angry but they evolve from friendship so really they are just super upset at the government for the sake of their cool friends. May Crobats descend on all your enemies, cool friends. #pokemon

Fat duna #MHart

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

OOPS I POSTED THE BUGS OUT OF ORDER. I happen to love ledyba and ledian despite their stats and I took one named Paprika to the e4 in an alolan nuzlocke! We won, but they fell to Sycamore and his Snorlax in the end.

Some say it must be hard to make faces with pincers, but spinarak and ariados don't find it hard at all! #Pokemon

Hoothoot and Noctowl keep close watch over their forests! #pokemon

So, we broke into your house and stole all your stuff, please give us money.

May your Sentrets be soft and your Furrets long! #pokemon

In the sleepy waters of Johto's thick overgrown rivers you can spy the bright blue and red scales of this ferocious trio, not looking to camouflage one bit. #pokemon

My personal favorite starters from Johto. I simply love quilava and his fire-ferret goodness. #Pokemon

HEY! You know what ELSE I totally did and never posted??? POKETOBER! Cause some habits die hard despite being too tired for socials all month. Plus I needed procreate practice so two pidgeys one masterball or whatever the saying is. Kicking off Johto with Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium!

AND AT LAST: the final artfight of the year- with only 58 minutes on the clock at start, and barely 4 minutes left by the time I got it uploaded-- A revenge and big thank you to @/pizza-hats-of-the-world-1882 on tumblr of their magical space heroine Yevgenia! WOO!

#Artfight attack for @/HappyYappy on artfight of their kitty raptor Willo! Inspired by one of their pet cats, I was deeply charmed by their cute proportions!

Another #Artfight revenge on @/taiga_frosthall on insta of one more of their wily pirate crew! Riverstone is a tortle who joined up with the pirates of the Siren's Ire to travel, but it turns out that she has a knack for knocking skulls when would-be attackers find their way into her galley!

#Artfight attack for @theangryduckie.bsky.social ! Their skeletal aarakocra flamingo isn't letting a little thing like death stop them from becoming the most famous and wise pirate across all the seas!
