The thing about AI anime dubs and AI Actor Tilly Norwood and AI music is just the fucking disrespect, this is what your industry thinks can replace you and it’s not even good. It’s not even a thing you look at with dread at how the computer has replaced Man, it just sucks ass lol it just blows

can bluesky please stop hiding replies just because they have bad words in them? i'm a grownup, i can read the word "fuck"

Always love to see great talent using their platform for unabashed good.

Every now and then a reader will come across a book which changes them - which irrevocably alters their view of themselves, their life, or the world around them. Four times this has happened to me. Bridge to Terabithia, The Giver, The Fifth Season, and Blackcloak: A Man Of His Sword.

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely. They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things. Only you have the power to kill it.

I was today years old when I discovered the "correct line width" tool in CSP for vector lineart. Total game changer. An update a while ago messed with some of my brush settings and I've been struggling to get them back to normal, so this allows me to fix things faster than redrawing whole sections.

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

I’ve been drawing since I was a toddler (it kept me busy and contained so my parents could work in peace) and my childhood sketchbooks could be easily divided between “before Gargoyles” and “after Gargoyles”

I’ve said this before, a lot, but when you’re an author and your book doesn’t sell your feelings can default to the premise, “Everyone in the world was offered my book and they all personally rejected it.” The truth is most people don’t know it exists. Awareness is the problem, not you or your book.

BEHOLD THE APEX PREDATOR HAS HUNTED A SOCK

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

More details on the "krampus" sketch. #traditionalart #art #wip #sketch #krampus #unholidays By the way, do you read alt text for images on this platform? 🤔

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Tim is not a creator or artist he is a capitalist with the goal of being the only one in power. That involves pushing as many people out of the way and that involves other devs removed and replaced by tools he also controls and profits from.

The Diderot Effect is when, after buying something, you feel pressured to buy more things to match it. The name comes from an 18th century essay by Denis Diderot, lamenting that a new red velvet robe led him to replace his furniture.

what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it

Coord for sightseeing in Boston before the Gilded Age event! Really happy with this main piece, I think it fit with the Isabella Stewart Gardener museum very well! #jfashion #lolitafashion #metamorphosetempsdefille #ootd #dandypuppeteer

When I first saw young writers on social media marketing their books based on tropes, it really scared me. Oh, so you want to write for people who never want to be challenged about anything?

One personally frustrating thing about the big AI push is that it forces people to assess it in a hurry, which makes people careless. It kinda smells like a scam to me if someone’s hurrying you along, cultivating urgency in you, well before you know where they’re taking you.

Oh hohohohoho ... yeah, I dunno.

People don't dislike Tim Sweeney nearly as much as they should.

If you make knives and market them as knives, that's cool! If you make knives and market them as plush toys, we have a problem.

took this stance real early on, have been paying close attention, and i have yet to see a single thing that manages to challenge that opinion even a little bit, rather than solidifying it into diamond-hard conviction

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonely. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.
