little sketch page from when i originally started playing PoR #fireemblem

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

The best cosplay at the mega man gathering is easily Gutsman's Ass

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it

New: Trio of Dem senators urge Apple and Google to enforce their own terms of service and ban X, Grok apps for their flood of nonconsensual sexual imagery. I've repeatedly asked both Apple and Google about this for three days. They're completely silent, seemingly hoping the question just goes away.

Doing my part, as much as it hurts to have to.

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼 www.theverge.com/news/859309/...

We're at the "Don't go out in public if you have brown skin because you might be murdered or kidnapped" stage of white supremacist fascism.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

His initial response to the backlash was "holy fuck guys we're not pushing hard for genAI" but like every statement since has been something akin to "we know you guys hate genAI, so let me assure you we're going to use genAI but it's the good genAI that you will absolutely like"

hi! i'm co-founding a new gaming website with my former polygon colleague @zoehhannah.com. it's called mothership.blog. i made it for someone like me... the kind of website i always wished we had in our space. watch the video to learn more :D

These students are being brutally harassed by their government and still showing more bravery and integrity than most college presidents.

I couldn't sleep all night because of the constant shelling. My 4mo daughter, Talia, is terrified by the force of the explosions. There is no safety here, we live in fear and anxiety. Your support helps us to endure these extremely difficult circumstances. - Sama’a 🤍 chuffed.org/project/157569

Any studio that says they're only using their own assets for an A.I. model is lying to you, likely intentionally. Generative A.I. models require an insane amount of existing work to create anything that looks new and decent. Categorizing said data would take years.

The Cygames AI new is upsetting to see but from my research, it doesn’t seem like anything has been implemented into their games/art (thankfully) The best thing you can do right now is to tell them directly and politely that you don’t want Gen AI in their games form.cygames.co.jp/en/individua...

WHY NOT JUST DRAW IT YOURSELVES THEN DUMB FUCK

In 2D Mario platformers, Mario can either crouch or slide, but is denied the ability to sit in place. However, with a specific setup in Super Mario Bros. 3, Mario will come to rest in a sliding animation, finally allowing him to simply sit.

Also important

Yelling at CEOs is good and we should all do it more (He's still not fully letting go of it, but being yelled at clearly moved the needle some)

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

"No fucking AI assets" - a reminder that many good publishers that will disqualify any prototype with genAI placeholders, and that using it is at your own peril. Hooded Horse happens to be one of the best publishers out there at the moment, so this is a big one. kotaku.com/hooded-horse...

cygames going heavy into genAI is pretty bad. if anything normalizes it, it'll be gacha. gacha shouldn't even be legal but you say that and people just say "gambling's cool, just don't spend money you idiot" ignoring such an insanely predatory thing

Finally done with this boss' intro animation (or intimidation pose I guess?). Also her name's Sirenis now. Might showcase her fight later but I need to draw a YT thumbnail for it still, alongside some other stuff... #smw #romhacking #myart #oc

Might wanna stop rolling for those horse girl PNGs

COMMON TIM W

The world's richest man runs a subscription-based automated service that removes clothing from photographs of children.

Queer women like Renee Good also face a vast history of underreported and dismissed violence, and if you notice, the Right is desperately trying to underreport and dismiss this tragedy.

also according to his refs lonato might??? not be entirely fodlani which is cool to find out

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has been added to GameCube Classics on Nintendo Switch 2 And the OST has been added to Nintendo Music
