Hi everyone! Several of us friends of @maroanalove.bsky.social put together this GoFundMe to help an amazing person navigate a devastating loss. She has done SO much and now it's our turn to support her. If you can't donate, please share! www.gofundme.com/f/support-ja...

Initially I wanted to wait a little longer before sharing this, but I have been trying to work on a Nino game in the background! I want to make this a survival style game with various endings depending on which attack takes you out.

I made cupcakes They don't look like cupcakes but let's be real that's not what matters most heheh

Monday thru Sunday, 365 days a year.

I see these gaming youtube thumbnails being all like "Could this monster taming game be better than pokemon?!" or "Could this new farming game be better than Stardew Valley?" but like I don't wanna make comparisons like that, I just wanna try out new things and have fun

I'm working with a friend on our own monster taming game and even though we're in very early stages, we plan on being strictly against genai. It's exhausting that games with such cool ideas pop up and then it turns out that they're using the planet-burning plagiarism machine.

Welp....thats really disappointing. AI is all over Aniimo. AI posters, AI 3d models, I suspect AI music (at least the pop music in the city), and probably AI translation. Its such a shame because I think the game has solid gameplay and didnt need to resort to AI.

There is a stark difference between those who skim through art on surface level and those who truly understand what is being shown to them. One sees only the colors, the words, the flashy stunts and the funny jokes. The other recognizes an underlying message and gains unique wisdom.

important message to all bluesky users

AI is dying. Repost to make it die faster.

"B-but water is renewable-" Renewable, yes. But absolutely not infinite. And GenAI has a slew of other problems. Between its unethical training and its horrid lack of optimization, there is absolutely nothing good about GenAI. And if you use it, knowing these problems exist, I do not trust you.

Man I just wanna feel safe for once

Home Assistant is free and powerful. Reolink are quality cameras and doorbell cams that don't require an internet connection and can stream solely to your own private HA server, which can then be locked down and viewed remotely from its app. Get rid of Ring.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Its been difficult to sleep lately :(

Estrogen will save her. And so will sharp fangs. And deadly claws. And thick fur. And a large, swishing tail. And eyes that can see in the night. And ears that can hear the faintest sounds. And a nose that can smell prey for miles. And a little bit of moonlight to get the hunt started.

Bringing this brief look into the nonhuman identity post I made over here cause why not. Disclaimer this is a VERY brief look with rather basic information, as all these things can be so much more to the individuals with these identities. #CreatureTheVoice #nonhuman #alterhuman #therian #otherkin

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

Let me grow wings and claws and fangs Cover my skin in scales and fur Let me breathe flame and let me be free Let me fly far, far away from here

commission for @detectivearting.bsky.social !!!!

"Should I use ChatGPT for-" No.

i dont know whats gonna happen but here. 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪

Third option (stressful)

Sharing with your friends, both good and bad endings

When people do this - or when you see them use visuals that you can clearly identify as AI - don’t just commit yourself to unfollowing them. Leave a comment. Tag the timestamp, express your sadness/frustration. Make it clear to them WHY you’re leaving, why they’re responsible. YOU are their ad $$$.

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX

Relatable..

friend: I like your ocs, can you tell me more about them? me:

This might be a hot take but good deeds are not exempt from taking consent into consideration. If someone doesn't want your "help", you are not helping them.

The scam website that is trying to steal money from artists is back, new logo and... very hastily made website. Be wary of them, block and report and warn other artists.

Crunchyroll having bad AI captions for Gundam despite actual legitimate captions existing is so wild. They don’t have to use these!! They’re putting in more effort to make their product worse!!

twitter users be like

Sometimes phantom shifts are nice, but other times it's the equivalent of sitting for too long and really needing a stretch break, except the limb you wanna stretch doESN'T EXIST AND ITS CRAMPING AND AAAUUUUGH

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

It Christmas Merry

Catharsis is a cup with no bottom.

Yeah new Expedition 33 interview was out. The generated texture was just part of them experimenting with GenAI when it was brand new years ago when they were first starting working on the game. They didn’t like it, said “it felt wrong”, stopped using it, and a single texture from that got missed.

SAVE ME THIS MONTH‼️ I need your help guys #mutualfriends I don’t want to be a homeless person this coming Christmas & new year, I deserve to celebrate but I need first to settle my Rent to secure my house, bills are killing. A side from that Im taking medicines Share this guys

"This doesn't affect you because you animate, so you are fine." No. This sucks and this is really dangerous. In solidarity with all artists, Please be cautious. I know many will remain on Twitter because they have mostly everything here but be aware this time it's worse than the other times.
