The flood of AI video slop on my feed on various platforms esp FB and YT now is so much worse in the last few days. And because of Sora, is harder to detect. It's making me not even want to check out anything other than what I'm already following. Which is sad.

😦

Both DC and Marvel have expressed that gen AI has no place in their comic books. That’s significant. I hope they go further and enshroud that in contracts if they haven’t already. #CreateDontScrape DC: gizmodo.com/dc-comics-ji... Marvel: bleedingcool.com/comics/nycc-...

Day 9 (rope) for #peachtober25 ✨ My mind instantly went to those plastic beaded jump ropes that hurt if missed the jump! Also puppies! Because beaded ropes make me think of being a kid and wanting a puppy super bad lol. #peachtober #rope #puppy #kidlit #picturebook #kidlitart

A new portrait of Monolophosaurus. The crest here is more voluminous than most reconstructions, exploring the idea that the underlying bone might have been anchoring a larger pneumatised casque. #SciArt

I can't make this shit up. Y'all for the last time correlation is not causation. 😩

Spectacularly #GoodGreenNews : Suriname leading the world in protecting 90% of its forests, forging ahead with a prosperous forest- and biodiversity-centred economy, while working towards recognising ancestral lands of Indigenous and Tribal peoples. International coalition provides valuable support.

I want an alt history where the new world is the Cretaceous and the Columbian exchange was all dinosaurs.

October 7th... Full moon, you know? Incredible piece by the amazing @wolfhidewinter.bsky.social !

Right, just like how the age verifiers for the Online Safety Act weren't supposed to store photos and IDs after verification, and YET–

I really miss my mom. It's only gotten weirder that she's not here anymore. And the increasing distance from when she was here is kinda scary. Like the more time goes by the further away she is. I don't like it.

I've neglected to share the last few weeks of my 5 minute daily drawings. I'm continuing the theme of drawing inverts from works of art. Head of Cabbage with Insects, unknown Netherlandish artist Early Autumn by Qian Xuan #TradArt #Invertebrates

Moonlit night

Everybody thinks they're a photography expert now. I put my camera down for a minute and this mantis has to go and change my settings on me. At @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica #invertebrates #mantids #insects

The House has chosen not to work and is withholding the swearing-in of newly elected Democrat Adelita Grijalva. She still hasn’t been seated, and it definitely feels intentional since her signature would provide the last vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

This is TBIs funding: “Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there’s a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”

Watch it if you care about free media. There's been a capture happening that more people need to pay attention to. Not only is this dire for various media industries/workers but it's dangerous for those who consume media, free speech & democracy. youtu.be/V64TdrkhTqo?...

It's finally time for Skinktober! What's that? No, I'm pretty sure it was never called anything else. #art 🦢

Oh god, it’s worse. This is Open Ai dictating to the studios they can “opt out” of OUTPUTS. This isn’t even about the training, as Open Ai thinks it’s all theirs to use for free. The hubris of these thieves is just obscene. I can’t see them not getting sued for this, it’s just that ridiculous.

Lol Bsky won't accept my card to verify I'm an adult and I really don't trust the group doing all the verifying to wanna give my other information. 🙃

My black cat glaring at and ignoring other people but coming to me when I call gives me the witchy equivalent of feeling like a Disney princess. Is actually pretty social just a tad shy & nitpicky about how ppl interact with her. Derp post-catnip photo as proof she is not so serious. Name is Nox.

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

Self doubt eating my insides again. How do you psych yourself up for an event when you are feeling like this?

Me: "I have so many old sketchbooks in bins that I need to find a place for." Friend: "Are you able to throw some away?" lol, lmao even. Ha, hahaha, HAhAHahaHajaJAhaHa

An older drawing, but still very much applicable to right now. 💩

Experts told me Tesla has gotten better at monitoring the behavior of drivers using FSD (S), which can't actually drive by itself But amidst Tesla's Big Pivot to autonomy and robotics, it seems to be pushing drivers to use the feature exactly when they shouldn't www.wired.com/story/story/...

My mutuals are so skilled and powerful then i get surprised how we are even mutuals, hello???

This gorgeous being is thwaitesia argentiopunctata. Also known as the sequinned spider, mirror spider and is found in Australia. Absolutely beautiful! I am at a loss for words. #nature #arachnid #insect #mirrorspider #Australia

Tomorrow! 📣 Join experts from NAVA as they discuss technological advances in art and entertainment, and how creators can protect themselves from AI misuse. The panelists will also discuss new legislation and court rulings which positively impact artists.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

If you're wasting your energy arguing about migrants or trans folk instead of paying attention to this, you've been duped by the fossil fuel polluters and their stooges. World’s oceans fail key health check as acidity crosses critical threshold for marine life www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm so proud of these. Thanks for the fun challenge @dnlnwmn.bsky.social !

The urge to buy a piece of land and just protect it. And maybe haunt it a little as a way to keep people off it.

Totes are sold out for now, but I still have some in storage so be sure to sign up to be notified of when they’re back in stock. I just gotta give myself some time to A: feel better and B: ship them to my fulfillment partner.

Try and stay positive people. We're going to survive this.

Before I log off, some quick thoughts about Tylenol causing autism: This is more "autism is the worst thing to happen to a child" rhetoric, with the added bonus that 100% of the blame can be placed on the pregnant person AND they're admitting that they believe women deserve to be in pain.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

Wild how all the people doing crime these days just coincidentally leave bullets with the narrative they want very neatly written on top

So we aren't all getting beamed up today? Damn. Ah well, another day in this weird ass timeline. Tylenol doesn't cause autism, fuck ICE, LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights, generative AI is theft, free Palestine, and release the Epstein files. ✌️

I’ve posted a new update for backers of my last Kickstarter. I know a lot of them are on Bluesky, so I’m putting it here as well m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQzB...

Thanks to everyone who canceled their Disney Plus subscriptions we’ve had over 50,000 people confirm they’ve canceled!

Oh also, remember when Open Ai’s ex CTO made this face when asked what training went into Sora? Here’s an in-depth reporting to give us one to answer to that question and to why the CTO had that “😬” face. Spoiler Alert: The training is all ill-gotten works that Open AI has 0 business using!
