Heartbreaking words from Dr. STONE mangaka Boichi, who decided to stop posting art on X because of the implementation of the GenAI Edit button and who has been so distressed by its hostile, destructive purpose to destroy other artists' works that he hasn't been able to eat properly since Christmas😢

Frog and Toad quickly ran back to the store. Then they sat in the shade of a large tree and ate their chocolate ice-cream cones together.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Also going to put the deadbolt on.

"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort

Tbh the “Bluesky is so boring” discussion made me realize that - even though most people complain about modern social media being awful - they’re too addicted to actually use anything self-driven Having an algorithm influence your interests & lock you into scrolling for hours ISN’T A GOOD THING 💔

Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%). Lay article attached:

Also new Bluesky users follow the rules here: block anyone who is uncomfy. Do not fall for ragebait. Do not feed the trolls. Block and move on. Keep your peace. Also highly suggest muting a bunch if words. I curated my feed by nuking political and political adjacent words. Peace. ☺️

still my favorite christmas post

One thing I miss about the early internet is how much easier it was to not use something. There was no stakes no worries of engagement. Modern social likes to trap you in its web, like an abusive partner. It’s sad. I hope everyone realizes how little they need it soon

Hope scroll or horny scroll

twitter: new update, every time you post, elon musk is literally going to break into your house and shit directly into your mouth users: that sucks but….i mean i HAVE to stay on there…..

for the holidays this year, I canceled the only subscription service I had (crunchyroll) because I'm not paying for a service that uses genAI instead of paying human beings. in it's place, I've subscribed to @aftermath.site and am looking forward to reading tons of great work by cool people

how to use this site for new ppl 1. you're going to be on here less. use that extra time on the computer to draw or write or make music or program or play games etc! 2. don't look at the discover tab 3. follow ur faves 4. follow the people your faves repost + reply to 5. build a feed like that

NORAD Santa tracker is Woke

If you switch to bsky it will be vitally important to not use the Discover feed and instead pin this one

“Now I can save tomorrow for something that I really want to do.” “What is that?” asked Frog. “Tomorrow,” said Toad, “I can just take life easy.”

🦋 Welcome to Buesky! 🦋 It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

No doubt in my mind this is be used to target women too

Ahh so if you’re new to Bluesky and you wanna grow here, I have a few tips: 1. USE ALT TEXT! This is very important!!! 2. Engage with the Bluesky community, don’t just post only! 3. Use hashtags, you don’t get shadow ban for using them! 4. Support other artists & join artshares!

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

“There,” said Toad. “Now I feel better. I am not in the dumps anymore.” “Why?” asked Frog. “Because I have done all that work,” said Toad.

Okay y'all.. You're probably gonna see some unredacted files going around. Please please please do not force yourself to read them if you're easily triggered. They're worse than I expected. Far worse. These monsters have got to pay.

Toad got to Frog’s house. He looked in the window. “Good,” said Toad. “Frog is not home. He will never guess who raked his leaves.”

(For when that one gets pulled down)

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

This is a hard watch but don't look away. This is what they don't want you to see. They want to control the narrative and force people to think these men are monsters. These are human beings. These are people. These are our family, friends, and neighbors. Don't stop bringing attention to this.

In Canada, the 60 Minutes clip about CECOT that Bari Weiss canned was broadcast. @jasonparis.bsky.social‬ captured it. Enjoy. Bluesky only allows 3 minute videos max. I hope this works. 1/5.

Excuses sound pathetic. They did it "to make the game appear more expensive". You can't "bring life" to something with poorly implemented automation.

ARC RAIDERS

@larianstudios.com broke the seal and now these slop-peddlers are crawling out the woodwork thinking it gives them a get-out-of-jail-free card — “see, the bg3 guys are doing it!” Meanwhile I’m over here adding your studio to my “do not play” list, reciting that shit every night like Arya stark

Toad took a deep bow. Frog looked smaller as he shouted, “Hooray for Toad!”

None of the buttons fell off. Toad had sewed them on very well.

If a game uses AI, it is ok to pirate it. Remember, AI has no copyright rights.

Years ago, I used to get some flak from other retro gamers for not "promoting the hobby correctly" Basically, I refused to gatekeep it. "Save States?! You didn't 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 beat it." "Original HW!" "CRT only" But I DON'T CARE how anyone play retro games. Did you have fun? That's 𝘢𝘭𝘭 I care about.

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

TAKE YOUR TIME… NANCY IS THE BOSS AROUND HERE

I think this year I’m gonna prioritize my mental health and just try to heal from that toxic environment

btw u should read my yuri visual novels... i have written a lot of Stuff 🙏 ✨️ store.steampowered.com/publisher/eb...

Toad opened his present from Frog. It was a beautiful new clock. The two friends sat by the fire. The hands of the clock moved to show the hours of a merry Christmas Eve.

Reply or quote if you are anti-AI, anti-generative-AI and pro human-made art Yeah, y’all already knew this
