A limerick. Based on a true story.

whenever anyone I know admits to using ChatGPT this appears above my head

the itch.io news you might have missed in the past 12 hours (don’t worry it’s back up)

Please call your reps, this thing is so evil

he's also offering commissions on vgen if you would like some wonderful art for a good cause! vgen.co/kiyuyu

It’s not really surprising that people are becoming more distrustful and cynical about tech (and everything else) when there’s a constant drumbeat of stories, like this, about a seemingly innocuous game/tool/website harvesting data that is then used for murderous purposes:

"AI should be used for the parts that don't matter, unlike my part, which is ESSENTIAL" you scab. you rube. you testament to the mediocrity of an instagram ad. you portrait of an ego exhibiting nothing except hubris and grey paste. you entropic torture of a leaky faucet that can't be fixed. die.

Hi! Yes, any use of Gen AI (even if removed) we report on here and have created a public list to make it easier for everyone to find titles! docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Thanks for the tag! :) -E

I know devs who have been looking for work for 2 years who have been applying at Walmart out of desperation. I know some that have gone homeless. Who rely on gfm's. The harm is absolutely real. All for a handful of dudes to buy a yacht.

they keep letting people go on record and say "don't worry everyone, we only replaced our concept artists with ai" as if the concept artists aren't the entire skeleton of the thing. you took the bones out, man. look at it flippin and floppin around. fuck off

I think it's funny that the "better" AI gets, the more people hate it

I've created a mailing list for doujinshi fans in North America. I'll be using it to spread information about new & future doujin events across the US and Canada. If you're interested in participating or attending more doujin events around your local area, please sign up! faiell.kit.com/doujin

please help my friend's cat get the medical treatment he needs! shares appreciated, look at this sweet little guy gofund.me/cde359b78 #gofundme

If anybody could repost this that way more eyes can get on it so we can get his eyes treated I'd appreciate it

Thank you Svee, this is a fundraiser my mom set up for our cat. If you can donate that's great! But I am also offering commissions over on vgen that will go towards his appointments if that interests you (link is in bio)

To celebrate the Tifa news 💘

I hate the person who hurts people. a person who draws lines and colors on a canvas has hurt no one. puritan whackjobs who think harassing real people tho do, in fact, cause real world harm with their dipshittery. if you make it a mission to attack artists for pixels on a screen, you're the villain.

If you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.

Welcome back David The Guest

if it isn't clear, I'm with the 18+ artists. don't think because the majority of my art is market friendly that it means I am. fuck censorship, fuck fascism, fuck puritanism. people should have the choice to decide what they want to see, not have the choice made for them.

I see people confusing enforcing consequences as synonymous with holding grudges and if that's your mindset I want you to think really hard about why bad actors get away with doing bad things and not care very much when they're caught or lose out

trying very hard to afford this on our own but the honest truth is me or my family can't afford his care. any help for bocchama would be deeply appreciated. ko-fi.com/artofchira

ok ill repost some of da classics. chopper middle part

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

some genius actually made chatgpt into a magic 8 ball

the pissants reading this as "you can't critique my work" are gonna hear how they're illiterate, and they are, but lemme put my whole dick on the table and say yeah u right if you want to critique, write a review, go bitch on reddit, be the biggest hater you wanna be in your own house. not in mine.

Before anyone goes 'But what did they ACTUALLY do wrong to get banned?', the dev's theory really does seem accurate: They drew tired office workers in their mid/late 20s looking too cute. store.steampowered.com/app/3079280/... Steam doesn't have 'rules'. Just vibes that moderation staff can invoke

Love this for them #subnautica #videogames #gaming

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

you realize when stuff like this succeeds so fast and so easily that the shitty living conditions everywhere else are not just because nobody's doing anything, it's because they're ACTIVELY making sure they don't improve, because that reduces subservience to the parasite class #political

I can't believe we're going back to this kind of discourse but: Using references isn't cheating Using 3D mannequins and photo references is STANDARD, even for professional artists Shaming people and pushing them to draw exclusively from memory is harmful and can set back people who are learning

Censoring depictions of regular degular "sexual gratification" is especially irritating because it implies that sexuality is a big bad scary thing we don't talk about and need to hide. It's absurd. Puritanism won't stop people engaging with porn, it just shames anyone who does.
