Shelved concept. The idea here is that through reading, kids get to become the hero of the story they are reading. . . . . .

Today's the final day to make our voices heard against the government's proposed plans to allow AI developers to steal our work for use in training their AI systems. It's theft, plain and simple, but you can object by filling out the IPO consultation. Guidance here:

Please boost this post, ESPECIALLY if you’re a UK based visual artist, author or creative. What our government is trying to do is predicated on GREED and nothing more. If you love the arts then join us in trying to protect the livelihoods of those who create it. SHARE SHARE SHARE!

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models

Alt text is searchable, makes the site more accessible for everyone, and there's even a setting that reminds you to add it when you're posting a photo. Happy skeeting!!

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.

I remember when we were trying to tell folks that amongst the minorities, Black people would be amongst the first to be displaced by gen AI. Now look at this BS. Meta have created a model minority person which, if we’re being honest, is made to fit into the white gaze. 🫠

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

People are often confused about the roles in

publishing. I use a filmmaking analogy to build a bridge. Book Editor = Producer Art Director = Director Book Designer = Film Editor Author = Screenwriter Illustrator = Actors, Cinematographer, + more We should 100% also mimic film credits.
