Some people have misunderstood this. We literally saw how Claude itself, coded by Claude, turns one API call into a DOS of thousands upon thousands of API calls done in the sloppiest fucking way possible. This postmortem shows Bluesky vibecoded a function to DOS itself, in a similarly stupid way.

My latest obsessions: fancy goldfish, in-home group manicures

98.4% [of photographers] want $ for past infringements by ai corps. 96.1% believe there should be mandatory labeling for ai-generated works. 89.9% not interested in licensing their images as data for machine learning. 85.3% want default position to be ‘opt-in’ for ai training, not ‘opt-out.’

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans. After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company. Now, the states have won.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers. Absolutely heartbreaking 😔 Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

Witch Hat Atelier’s pilot episode was everything and more. Time to read the manga again.

#art WIP - experimenting with surface pattern design using an ogee grid. I've been obsessing over wallpaper as of late.

I wish immorality wasn't incentivized - rage farming for an attention economy is getting old

Not Just Bikes knocking out another banger youtu.be/umgi-CbaSRU

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

nymph with a green knife

Open for work! 18 years experience in AAA games film/tv. What have I worked on? 6 Assassin's Creed games, Marvel MCU shows and films, Magic the Gathering cards, shorter stints on franchises like Deus Ex, Halo, Paths of Exile, Ghost in the Shell, Pirates of the Caribbean and many more.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Hey all I'm looking for work! I'm experienced in character design and costume for games and film as well as illustration for books and TTRPGS. I'm based out of BC Canada looking for freelance or full time. My portfolio is linked in the first comment, thank you for shares!

Tough to nail down. I’d include The Last of Us 1 + 2 in here as well. These are the ones I’ve been thinking about or going back to

Round the Block

Brandon Sanderson's upcoming book "The Fires of December," along with the rest of Hoid's Storybook Collection, are currently available on Backerkit!

I’ve been trying to stay informed. Each new kernel of knowledge adds DoT.

Anyone else exhausted by the online decline? I miss what the internet used to be. Sure it had its problems but now there’s more ads, less privacy, toxic social media, bots, Ai and fewer independent sites. I’m not a fan of the increase in surveillance capitalism and government surveillance, either

I deleted my discord + TikTok account, uninstalled Instagram, signed up for Proton and Signal for privacy. Now I’m lurking here for art and opinions. There is a part of me that wants to trade in my cell for a landline, pager and answering machine. Plus I have a reading list ready to go.

I've seen discourse surrounding artists "peaking" at 30 and I just want to say don't fall for that trap! I'll be 45 this year and I don't think I've ever been more resolute about my work. Existence and perseverance is art; you can not PEAK yourself. Every iota of creation you make is a miracle.☄️

1/7 Recent unsealed documents from Bartz v Anthropic showed an internal essay “An Economic Model for Compensating Data Producers” by Anthropic’s CEO, 2021. Anthropic knew of the importance and cost of our works. They then willfully decided to steal it. They do what they condemn Lets break it down👇

Plantcon 🌱 was delightful. Let’s see how these acclimate

Yeah so that Ring ad that aired at the Super Bowl about 'Search Party?" 404 Media now has proof that it won't just be used to locate dogs... www.404media.co/leaked-email...

More people should listen to @tressiemcphd.bsky.social When people say AI is inevitable, let them know the future isn’t settled.

Working on my worldbuilding ! 'The Priory of Cilanti was built on the highest promontory of the Azurin-Talon, offering a unique panorama of the Crab-Claw Bay. It is a major pilgrimage site for the Mage-priests of the region and a nesting area for turquoise parakeets before their winter migration.'
