Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their AI training datasets - this bill would force them. If that sounds good, we REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! Please sign this petition in support of the bill, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

This needs too be normalized at conventions.

And it's reaaaal good !

So true. And it's not only for your health : personal work is where you develop new ideas and explore visuals, style and moods, and those are the heart of an interesting and fresh portfolio

Monday I'll be revealing a project I have been working on for a long time. It is something I have done all by myself and I'm really proud of it, I can't wait to show it

40% funded!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/kel...

Chrome is reaching into users' machines and writing a 4 GB on-device AI model file to disk without asking. It is the weights for Gemini Nano, Google's on-device LLM. Chrome did not ask. Chrome does not surface it. If the user deletes it, Chrome re-downloads it. www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-...

Spiders (the game developers) shutting down is such sad news. As a studio, they're pretty much a peak example of what the backbone of a healthy industry should look like. Mid-budget, not afraid to take big creative swings, doesn't always hit the mark but always trying. That SHOULD be sustainable.

The Glaze Project's team, hallowed be their name, strikes again

Hello! I'm looking for a queer horror artist for an anthology short (6-8 pgs)! This is paid work and the rate will go up based on crowdfunding. New creators welcome! Please DM ME with your PORTFOLIO. Final pages will be due in two months. I'll contact my choice in the next two weeks. Thanks!

Sad and infuriating news. Nothing to add to what's already in comments really, it's heartbreaking stupidity. I'm confident a good amount of the pro-free-market dudebros, cheering for capitalism all day online, are also huge fans of marvel stuff, and NOT connecting the two little dots at all.

🎨 HIRING ARTIST 🎨 I'm a small visual novel developer looking to hire a character artist for a couple of dark romance/fantasy games. Looking for someone who wants to draw pretty murderous ladies in armor and spooky Eldritch forest gods! ⚔️ You can find the details below ⬇️

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

Murphy Campbell facing blatant AI copyright theft. youtube.com/@murphydoesn... Not easy to fight the machine learning companies depending on size. It's NOT intelligence, it's inference, and they shouldn't be allowed to loot real people's ideas.

TRADE OFFER I get : no time for personal work whatsoever and NDA for the rest you get : another random knight sketch

#dragon day part 2 and so #Dnd black dragon nb2 : The Adult! I had a lot of fun with the framing, movement and kinda weirdness of the dragon in this one.

I'd like to dedicate this post to everyone who said there was no point in fighting this. And to point out most of the value in AI companies is derived from their past scraping and in a just world, we'd be looking at billions in compensation.

Worked on this new landscape painting all day. Hadn’t done one in a while. Will finish it up tomorrow. 18x24” acrylic on canvas.

They steal your work, they dumb you down, they make your electricity more expensive, they take your water and your livelihood. But at least you’ll get opportunity of a lifetime: information that according to one BBC study is likely to be wrong 51% of the time! Incredible“progress” 💀

Things are VERY bad financially, rent is due today and I'm still working on late commissions since my laptop died in January.

Maybe growing up with those *and* photorealistic high end AAA everywhere, easy to access, plays a role. You probably won't crave realitic stuff as much if you haven't been restricted to 3-polygon-per-character for years. In any case good news for us artists. More art direction, less rEaLIsms!

Using AI for your art references not only gives you a skewed & inaccurate view of the world, it also puts resource providers like myself & all these awesome people out of work! Using REAL photo references is what levels up your art AND supports the stock/resource community! ❤️💪

If anyone is willing to share, I would be very appreciative!! 🔧🍃 We've just set the launch trailer live for Piece by Piece, our cozy repair shop game that is coming THIS WEEK, on March 11!! You can see it below, and find the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/3179050/...

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal. The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright. (Link: www.reuters.com/legal/govern...)

Lots of my recent stuff is still under nda or Wip, but I am trying to squeeze in some time to simply draw again for myself, so you get a quick knight sketch !

It's my birthdayyy today so I'm going to ask for a cheeky lil artshare if you like my work since I'm still pretty new to the bluesky art community c: Hii I'm Marby, I'm from the UK and living in the US. I like world building and fantasy art, I'm also working on a personal game project for fun 🖤

I keep seeing authors getting duped by AI users pretending to be artists (and then sadly realising it when everyone calls their book AI slop). These grifters are everywhere and I don't have a solution, but I have a few pointers:

Something new to share - at last! A bit unusual for me but so much fun, a poster for a local Carnaval! The picture was planned with the title in mind so I'll show it that way, but I can share a no-text version later on as well :)

AI is a tool of fascism. Full stop. It was created for the specific purpose of stealing the work of others, demoralizing artists, and eliminating middle class jobs to push creators out of art and into the lowest paying work. When you endorse AI slop, that’s what you’re endorsing.

New stuff to share soon, here's a preview! Brace yourselves, it's gonna be **very colorful** for once ;)

Post a Mage! Sorry I haven't had a lot of stuff to post recently, everything is wip or under nda, but at least this one is the perfect excuse to repost ;)

For my followers in the EU, there is an European citizens’ initiative you can sign to demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. If you are for BDS this would be a huge step up. eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#...
