Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

A lot of us have actually made a webcomic ring called Chimera Comics after we left hiveworks: chimeracomics.org This isn't the full list as some artists want their hands completely washed of the situation, but this is a start!

Commissioners and artists, be aware of this if you use the PayPal

now that i’ve seen lord of the rings, i can truly appreciate all the memes

If a game you care about has gen AI in it complain to them through their customer service. Studio execs can ignore social media byt their CS team being slammed will get their attention

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

happy It's Been More Than A Week Since I Last Yelled At You About Crystal Heart day!

the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

We can do even more.

I can't remember what I was listening to, but they were talking about how in older times, authors of what we'd now call classics would have been HORRIFIED if their books sold massively to the public, bc then it'd mean they'd written something generic. Just made me think about that's changed.

Im still looking for work as a comic colorist (Especially because I want need to buy PC components ASAP before they quadruple in price (｀；ω；´))

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

the term "content creator" served it's purpose very well. conditioning people into seeing everyone as anyone and everything as anything, mostly among the ruling class who found it most convenient for their pockets. in that sense, generating slop is the final result of content creation

Do you Recall the Time Before the Breaking of the Ring of Sun #berensart2025

I've found that AI generated slop accounts really hate confirming that what they're posting is AI. They'll go so far as to hide posts saying it. That's why we need to proudly label or state that what we're making isn't AI. What's to stop them from also saying that? They don't want to lol

Cape Falmouth’s “Weeping Salmon”

everyone with money is so damn excited to get rid of artists huh

the prairies are incredibly pretty and if you try to tell me otherwise, i won’t hear it and i won’t respond to it 🙂‍↔️❄️✨ #art

This Month I'm re-learning CSP AND a new tablet. Weeeeeee.

Saw this video of Tristan Harris on Diary of a CEO sharing what AI-tech bros have shared regarding their motivations pursuing this technology. It’s horrifying. These tech ghouls have us all on a suicide mission because of their EGOS. 🫠

Boy, It would be nice if some of you who were quick to post or repost the clickbait quote attributed to Sara Pichelli would also post or repost her ACTUAL feelings on instagram www.instagram.com/p/DSAHzjEjPP...

Last dnd session went swimmingly.

Last month I worked on writing (almost) every day. This month the goal is to work on art every day. It doesn’t have to be big or finish something, I just want to sit down and draw SOMETHING to get back in the swing of it. Like starting to work out again.

hi everyone! i’m going through some financial hurdles so it’d really help me if you shared this post promoting my brushes, maybe consider gifting them? it is the season 🫶 you can find them here: 🫶 www.patreon.com/MerlinGG ✨ ko-fi.com/everydaymerlin ✨ merlin2g.gumroad.com

We would love to chat about Crystal Heart, TTRPGs, explaining game rules in comics, and literally anything else before (or after) the book comes out. If you have a podcast or do interviews about comics, games, and everything in between, and the thread below sounds interesting, please drop us a line!

Sketch of my d&d PC, Kaya. She gets in a lot of trouble.

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this. What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

This was a really lovely conversation!

If I can figure out how to play it without getting motion sick I want to replay Dragon Age: Inquisition. Any advice for the motion sickness problem is welcome.

Either of the first two Dragon Age games. I keep wanting to play them and just not being able to keep with it.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

Been touching a lot of grass lately! It's been very nice. :)

It’s mushroom season 🍄🍄🍄

I was having a conversation with a friend over this past weekend about publishing's insistence that marginalized writers aspire to having overt moral lessons in their stories for readers who lack perspective. Like, there always has to be a lesson.

this felt too informative not to share

A day late but happy 4 years of Arcane 🫀

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

And of course, if you don't want to hear this stuff from me, listen to CPUK. LZW saves lives (and hard drive space)

I have watched hundreds of hours of Brennan Lee Mulligan at this point and never once seen him react to something like he does this pouch of bad sad fish soup I laughed so hard I had a coughing fit

Happy Halloween.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Share and help everyone know about this!!

Shannon is correct. Their goal is to terrorize ALL OF US. Never stop pushing back on this fascism. Use your voice, your cameras, your phones. Join up with people in your community who are pushing back. Support ONLY those leaders/politicians who are saying NO.
