this is still such a beautiful shot the book was so fun and I'm so mad still that this ended after so few seasons WE WERE ABOUT TO GET ICE COURT SHENANIGANS FFS

I can finally stop buying stupid blind boxes!

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace! A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!

Knew this was coming. Something I've been noticing happening slowly for a while now. It's also happening in conjunction with the aging up of YA and the influx of romantasies that tend to feature cisallohet relationships and dabble in fascism-adjacent storytelling themes.

Repeating a "we're fucked" narrative is the fastest way to learned helplessness. I know this intimately, having sat in the cage myself for two years. But while we don't have control over our stressors, we have control over our *reactions* to the stressors. Our thoughts, emotions, THAT,we can control

I swear to christ yall better opt out of this new ChatGPT Health shit my job is doing a one year trial and they mass emailed us about it bullshit it’s HIPAA approved do NOT DO THIS OPT OUT IF YALL CAN

its a bit of a relief to see other artists feel the same about how US artist alley has become more ""hustle culture"" with a focus on making marketable goods with ok enough art, and less ""check out this mental illness"" with 200 doujinshi pages of the best sucking and fucking you can ever imagine

If you're saying "Fuck JK Rowling" and "stop keeping Harry Potter culturally relevant through fandom or funding" then you should drop FNAF too. Scott Cawthon is a Christian Conservative who uses his wealth to donate to republicans, including Trump and Mitch McConnell. www.axios.com/2021/06/15/f...

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

OpenAI is now facing a total of 8 wrongful death lawsuits from grieving families....who claim that ChatGPT, in particular, the GPT-4o version, drove their loved ones to suicide. Soelberg’s complaint also alleges that company executives knew the chatbot was defective before it pushed it to the public

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.

Fandom needs interaction to thrive, if u want to keep enjoying art, fic, edits, animations, silly little hcs, and all of that gud stuff, give some of the love back that creators pour out for you, fandom shouldn't be /content/ to mindlessly consume, let it be a dialogue of love and appreciation 🙏✨❤️

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

Make sure you take some of the anger you’re feeling right now and use it to contact your officials to demand impeachment now. It’s basically the least we can possibly do in opposition to this, which IMO makes it mandatory.

oh my godddd exhaustedddd

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

it has been a LONG time since I've been so absorbed in a fanfic that I literally cannot think of anything else omfgggg ;lsdjkf-s0daua[jsod;lng

An update: there IS an opt-out email, you should check if your site/merch is in this "feature" and use it. If it's not there now, you should likely set a reminder to check back, since it's new. bsky.app/profile/monk...

how many billions of gallons of water evaporated just this week for this?

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

He’s so cool #metalgearsolid

"And I never say no" We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control. We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

#tekken #fanart #hwoarang #jinkazama #stevefox I did some from art based long ago.

Welcome back to bsky from the exodus, friends. Don't forget, tagging your art is actually useful here and you can view ALL tags by just a certain user by clicking this!! Another tip, use your feeds!!

This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

remember when we all tried to migrate to mastodon that one time and then the people there were really preachy and hostile to us? that's some of you here right now

Merry Christmas fam!

I want people to think more critically over AI and understand WHICH AI is the kind ruining our environment (it's genAI). AI in general has been around for decades and fear mongering over anything labeled "AI" is doing more harm than good. The AI that detects cancer isn't genAI.

I’m extremely mentally ill about this campaign ok #criticalrole #themightynein #mollymauk #mollymauktealeaf
