When they announced the project everyone was like "let him speak" and he said the mathematically worst words. Then he apologized and people were like "let him move on" and he doubled back I really don't care if he's sorry or just sorry he's getting grief but he's no friend of animation workers

I got asked if my work was AI today. Which was a first. At first I was offended, but then I realized - this person was trying to make sure they were making an ethical decision. They wanted to make sure I wasn’t a scammy prick before buying something. It was good for both of us that he asked.

This kind of stupidity where the state controls science ideologically worked *great* in the USSR.

Anti-porn censorship is functionally anti-art, and a tool of surveillance states. Think abt the Miller test and how arbitrary and subjective its parameters are, and how that's also true of payment processors' and platforms' TOS. Think abt how age restricted UI is synonymous with data vulnerability.

Last week at Momocon, a customer taught us a new use for our pinholder standees - PHONE HOLDERS! Genius! The youths are so smart.

Just had a guy walk up to the table at Riverfest and go “this stuff reminds me of Dungeon Crawler Carl!” That’s a nice compliment.

WICHITA!! We are open at Riverfest down at the Century II! Come on down and say hi!

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

bsky too quiet? missing comments? not seeing posts from spicy artists? check your moderation settings and your bsky filters if you haven't configured these before, many of these will be set to hide as defaults

Staff being able to apply an adult content label to an entire acct overrides the label function and is not a good thing. Do you know how many newcomers don't know that their default moderation settings hide us from view completely and they just assume we don't exist? This is shoving us out of sight

This whole phase of AI feels so much like the death throws of NFT's. Where they get a bunch of incredulous celebrities to take, what I must assume is, piles of money to flush their credibility down the toilet.

Literally. One of the biggest branches of the original Hellthread was just people posting their own nudes (the other biggest branch was cat/pet pics). This isn’t even slightly hyperbole. Porn Built Bluesky.

Since my neighbors have been making my house shake the entire day long because they're having their roof power washed, I'm begging everyone to read the moss chapter in my book, Nature Obscura. You don't have to waste money and water and make your neighbors angry. You can let the moss grow!

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

So, I’ve been trying to check out threads a little bit. Give it a shot for promotion and whatnot. I hate it bc it’s full of the most parasocial, groupthink people, brands, and bots. But I posted a print I did last year in response to a woman walking up on a bison bc I thought it was funny.

He's right, actions DO speak louder than words, so it's wild he's done this twice now (NFT's, AI) and expects to be welcomed back. I'm just gonna assume it's his nature to sell out for money and fame. What a joke.

QRP with how you draw women!

This is happening TOMORROW! Event starts at 10, D&D games at 11:30. Come have fun! #KCMO

Re: Jorge Gutierrez’ sudden backflip.

How much did Jorge Gutierrez get paid to use gAI for his new thing, I wonder?

These AI companies are trying SO HARD to get you to accept it. "Look! We got these popular artists to use it and endorse it! You like these artists, don't you? Don't you want to support your favorite artists?" THEY ARE LOSING MONEY AND NEED YOU TO BUY IN. DON'T FALL FOR IT.

You really do keep seeing the same straw man arguments when it comes to AI. “But AI Is in your gps, in your phone’s OS, in this software, etc…” That’s 1000% not what we’re talking about here, babes and you know it. It’s always the same logical fallacy too? Like at least shake it up somewhat.

Milli vanilli, Morris day and the time, c+C music factory & Young MC have all pulled out, less than 24 hours after this announcement. Lol.

Oh, for fuck’s sake. This is super disappointing.

The paraphrase the Joker from Batman ‘89: This world is in need of an enema.

Watching a Godzilla movie marathon on YouTube. I have only ever seen the first one. I had no idea there were space aliens in these movies.

Reminder to folks who have online stores to not use Uline for shipping supplies! Their money goes straight to bullshit campaigns like this one:

If you have specific types of supplies you’re looking for we can share recs, but our first stop is always: www.papermart.com

I left this comment on a post where a professional artist was showing off his AI slop. At this point, my anger at AI has turned towards despair over what humanity is losing to this evil machine.

Watched the Colbert “Only in Monroe” show last night. Boy, Monroe Comic Con must be floating high after getting mentioned in the middle of that. I know a few conrunners who must be jealous of that free advertising.

What... and I cannot stress this enough... the fuck?

Hey y'all. Put Numb Hands, my 16 page art journal of my Elden Ring playthrough in my stores for free (for a lil bit). hulkhoquinn.itch.io/numb-hands-a... ko-fi.com/s/5f94e72cd2 www.patreon.com/c/u3199234 ("free" to $1 tier)

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool. And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

My answer is “yes. I absolutely am. I have no interest in whatever ChatGPT told you to say to me.”

I guess it’s convenient he opted not to go to his kid’s wedding to be in the WH this weekend…

Man, remember when we chased Jimmy Fallon off Bluesky way back when. That was a good day. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...

why don’t ya make like a perspective drawing and vanish at some point?

Oh, they *could* pay for the data they dump into the SoulSuck2000™️, if they wanted to.

Hey #Momocon26 folks: ICYMI ATL is under a boil advisory until 1pm SATURDAY. Do not drink tap water if you can’t boil it for at least 60 seconds.

You *know* some shit’s gone sideways when the Waffle House crew calls for police backup.

This is making me lose my mind. Are these people so divorced from their own imagination that they can’t even understand that artists are intentionally not depicting reality?

Artists and those who share art. May want to block this bullshit ASAP

I fully support the impulse to send billionaires to Mars.

If you're a board game publisher you'd be absolutely out of your tree not to be trying to get your games shown off in Wyrd Science, a flipping excellent magazine. Send this man an email!
