This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

Like many others, I was severely disappointed by Frontier choosing to go with gen-AI for scientist portraits in Jurassic World Evolution 3, so we at @gamewatcher.com reached out for comment. Good news: It's been completely dropped. Read here: www.gamewatcher.com/news/jurassi...

FUCK YEAH LESGO

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

DO NOT BUY JURASSIC WORLD EVOLUTION 3 They’re using ai generation in their game, boycott this shit and force their hand to remove this garbage from their game entirely. store.steampowered.com/app/2958130/...

Tech CEOs saying the loud part out loud. Seems like maybe we shouldn’t take away the ability to regulate AI? Call your senators and ask them to remove the AI regulation ban in the budget reconciliation bill! Don’t know who to call or what to say? Use my cheat sheet: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I am deleting all my art from this website and likely going to do the same with my Artstation, it’s increasingly apparent that it’s not safe to post art anywhere on the internet because of genai scrapers. Fuck all of this shit, I hate living in a world that only gets worse day by day.

Update: The TERRIBLE 10-Year Ban on State AI Regulations advanced House Committee. What does this mean? It means we BLAST the HELL out of their phones! Call your House Members AND Senators today! Called a few days ago? Call again! Tell them NO on 10-year State AI Regulation Ban! (Info in thread)

IT IS VITAL THAT THIS SHIT IS STOPPED, this will wreak irreparable harm to all of the internet and art as a whole. Do not let these freaks monopolize creativity call your senators now.

Been called both but “gifted” irritates me more as an adult. It’s essentially like people saying that you’re the “good” kind of autistic while disregarding the efforts you put in to make it as far as you have. It’s insidious because it hides because the guise of a compliment.

-ai every single search result, the paleontology misinformation is bad enough but some answers this slop machine gives you can literally kill you, fuck ai.

I wasted so much of my life defending this game and making art for this game, I helped modders with their designs and vote artists to create unique ideas that will make it into the game. I am done with Ark, this bullshit was the last fucking straw for me.

i feel so much rage whenever people try to justify LLM use in art by saying well what about disabled people? disabled people make art every day. they often do utilize tools to help them create. but they don't need a machine to make art for them, and that's all an LLM can do for a writer.

Post a picture of when your pet was little. Neiko the day he was born vs how he looks now.

"Oh, my God" "What is it?" "It's a birdcage" "For what?" My 3D anatomical study of a large male Pteranodon longiceps. The skeleton is a generalised composite as per usual with my models, but is scaled to UNSM 50130 (a very large and almost complete wing)

If you see this, post a skeleton Concavenator holotype my beloved

Since algorithms across various social media platforms are making it harder to see what you enjoy, here's a thread of #paleoart I think is underrated or a tad overlooked. Kicking things off with Sam Milkovits' azhdarchid portrait

The stormtroopers are taking notice so please be careful

My predecessor as State Paleontologist, Dave Gillette passed away on Feb. 10th. He will be missed. He oversaw the excavation of the Huntington Mammoth. @jlivelypaleo.bsky.social @utahpaleo-ufop.bsky.social

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

A Protoceratops piece from 2021 that I never published before!

You say: they shutdown USAID. You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

Please again donate to this link, this person needs all the help they can get right now.

same methods, different era

These are the same picture.

FYI google have now stopped "-ai" working at the end of your search string. So put this at the end (after a space) instead: &udm=14 Fuck you #google. #AI

Please if you can donate to help this man out, their family is struggling and with the potential for medicaid being stripped they’re going to need all the help they can get. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ma...

in case your company uses Google Workspace and is despairing at how Gemini A.I. is getting pushed into everything—fear not! Slate's indefatigable IT chief embarked on a successful journey to get it removed from our end and wrote a detailed guide for the curious: slate.com/technology/2...

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Be cautious on social media—fednews is being monitored.

I don't know who made this, but it's a handy list for us to keep track.

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis. In 1933. (Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft.) They always come for trans people first.

THEY FUCKING TOOK DOWN MEDICAID GOD FUCKING DAMMIT, at least I have my final Psoriasis shot I will probably be getting for the foreseeable future. At least the ai bullshit is collapsing like the Hindenburg.

It’s ok when they use the mass data theft machine but not the Chinese, such horseshit I can’t wait for ai to collapse and destroy all good will for these stupid techbros. As for China fuck them for perpetuating this shit too. Goddamnit I just want to draw without being threatened by this shit.

If you feel depressed, here's a graffiti made by a young Polish scout during the Nazi occupation. This "little sabotage" dates to 1942, the graffiti is now protected behind glass. Poland is now a prosperous independent country, while (some) Nazis hung for their crimes. March on.

Here comes the Project 2025 unconstitutional hell

This morning's quick reminder: generative AI is a natural resource-guzzling plagiarism machine that exploits creatives to enrich tech bros. Do not use it to create art or writing. Do not conduct "fun" experiments with it to show us how awful it is. There is no ethical use for AI. Let it die.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

I want to work on art and start some really cool projects I have in mind but every fucking day I wake up everything gets worse, it feels like the world is ending and I just want to chill and draw. Instead I see stories of unspeakable evil and why the future is horrificly bleak. It fucking sucks.

This is the important part! If you submit your application for a gender marker change, you will not receive your passport or your supporting documents back.

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

Do not let them erase this, do not let them hide it from you.

The way that bishop begged him to have mercy was chilling and I can't get over it.

Gotta love how the anti christ and the 7 headed beast he rode in on are attending the national prayer service right now.

Do not Do not Do NOT Announce or even hint on your social media that you’re doing illegal or potentially illegal things. Even if for excellent reasons. You will be a target and make the people you aid targets.
