oh lawd it’s comin

GOOD NEWS! Amivantamab has demonstrated unprecedented results in an international trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

oh thank goodness they put two separate adult content labels to hide this incredibly nsfw pizza

if it isn't clear, I'm with the 18+ artists. don't think because the majority of my art is market friendly that it means I am. fuck censorship, fuck fascism, fuck puritanism. people should have the choice to decide what they want to see, not have the choice made for them.

I don't need to be "protected" from seeing porn, I need porn artists to be protected from being debanked, having their work stolen by AI, being abused for the content of their work, and going broke.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

This really is the perfect example of how counterintuitive all of this rampant puritanism actually is Indiscriminately treating ALL adult content as some horrendously Evil™ thing just makes it HARDER to filter out specific content This doesn't help anyone, it's just censorship via sledgehammer

In case people need reminding: Newsom is nothing more than a performative weathervane, eager to play both sides in order to get what he wants. The meme posts mocking 47 mean crap. The podcasts, betraying the Trans community who voted for him, this, these are the acts that define him.

Hope you‘re ready unload all of the Specials you have whenever you encounter a woman (including in one instance a woman disguised as a man as Sanji can tell), because that’s the only way you can deal damage to them as Sanji. Only the finest service for the ladies.

People have talked the argument "everyone uses it" into the ground because yeah. No, not "everyone" uses it. The thing is, though, the general public doesn't know the difference between LLM and genAI and proprietary tools that many companies developed and implemented into their workflow years ago.

Remember how I said I wasn’t going to be as quick to forgive him as some of yall were? This is exactly why. When people show you who they are, believe them!

This sucks dude. Labeling a whole account for several weeks effectively feels like punishment for "posting out of line"

California State Assembly passes the 'Protect Our Games Act' "games released/resold after January 1, 2027, must provide at least 60 days' notice before terminating service [...] and ensure users can continue accessing the game (providing an alternative version or a patch) and must offer refunds.

bsky too quiet? missing comments? not seeing posts from spicy artists? check your moderation settings and your bsky filters if you haven't configured these before, many of these will be set to hide as defaults

The next time a director says bullshit like this, I want the interviewer to ask: "If AI was around when you made your other films, which artists would you have fired?" I mean it. Name real fucking names. Of all the brilliant people you worked with, who do you think doesn't deserve a job anymore?

DDG when you choose “no AI”: That’s fine! ☺️ It’s your choice! 👍 You don’t have to see AI stuff if you really don’t want to 🤗 DDG when you choose “yes AI”: YESSSSS🥳🤑ONE OF US🤩🤯HERE IS OUR MAGIC MACHINE FOR YOU🥵🤑 Stop trying to play both sides ffs

i genuinely believe people who came to america no matter illegally or not, being antagonized by half the country with threat of ICE and deportation, deserve to be here far more than people who just happened to be born in america

I'll say what Bluesky fails to address in v1.122 They've rolled out a new "adult content" tag applied on an entire account, hiding all their posts from users, including text posts, even if they may be SFW This update, while well-intentioned, defeats the whole purpose of the content filters system

He's right, actions DO speak louder than words, so it's wild he's done this twice now (NFT's, AI) and expects to be welcomed back. I'm just gonna assume it's his nature to sell out for money and fame. What a joke.

I can’t stop laughing about this because, my brother in Christ, WHAT WITCH HUNT?? Dude put out a PRESS RELEASE detailing his black cat and broom plans

the fuckin SSX On Tour Mario render poses

Just want to lay it out here that the "Harambe meme" stuff was kept alive entirely by white supremacists who thought a Swahili name sounded funny and eagerly latched onto any opportunity to use a gorilla to make allusions to Black people

Please watch and support the release of Mexico's first stop motion film so that you can both prove that your love for animation as an art form is true and stick it to the industry's equivalent of Benedict Arnold.

I got an ad for a GenAI company called “Plaud” the other day, and the only thing I could think of aside from wishing that ad blockers worked on apps is that we’re now at the point of GenAI slop where we’re getting bootlegs of said slop.

Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

If only we had Navigators who could guide us through these this zone of otherwise impossible terrains, this “Network” if you will. Well, we’re in the correct century for it at least.

When Eliwood asks if he’s getting deployed in Hector hard mode

‘The Good Advice Cupcake’ creator Loryn Brantz says she is “horrified and disgusted” after BuzzFeed allegedly gave her character to an AI platform without her involvement. She also called for a boycott of BuzzFeed and AI-produced animation.

cool!!!

And somehow, SOMEHOW, it gets worse. I know it sounds like a joke but I am genuinely having a problem deciding which I like least, 1980s Saturday Morning KPop Demon Hunters from Temu, Punk-Aesthetics, Corpo-Heart Slop-tent w/Gibberish in the Promo Image, or Just Plain Stolen Shit.

If you are canadian, please sign this petition to oppose bill C-22, and protect your right to data privacy!

Will they keep this in the Switch 2 port of XI

…Hold up.

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

Hot take but I honestly think any YouTuber/streamer who does a nuzlocke should clearly credit Nick Franco. I used to watch his streams and it was really frustrating that he would often have, like, 5 viewers while other people got famous from his idea. Also this thread always made me sad

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

New way to view these Data Centers that are draining the communities they implant themselves in... draining resources for slop

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

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool. And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Mega-Kit Or Rock-Kit in Japanese

Memorial Day was started by formerly enslaved Black Americans on May, 1, 1865 in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp

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

Five nights at Freddys guy can continuously donate to republicans, jk Rowling can ruin entire branches of politics with a hatred legal defense fund, but the digital circus and Steven universe creators were queer and made choices fans didn't like and for that they get hate campaigns to ruin them.

Well... this is some grim news to add to this. If you do opt out... you're removed from the feed.. I'm at a loss for words. There's no current way to opt out according to other creators and when you are able to, no one will see your stuff. Fuck AI.

Real btw
