🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation. If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc. We got 3 days to stop this. Call now! www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Smut artists and sex workers are crushed underfoot while AI gets a green light to steal your yearbook photo to make hard-core porn with the caption "AI GIRLS NEVER SAY NO"

Fun update on the James Mulligan situation, If you don't know he is the alleged AI/ Plagiarism Disney artist I guess he didn't like my coverage of the topic. He is attempting to remove any trace of his alleged bad behavior from the internet. We of course will fight this as it falls under fair use

He was a fairy 🧚‍♂️:✨ My contribution for ✨Once Upon A Star: A Holostars Zine✨ Octavio as Oberon, King of the Fairies, from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Do check out more fairy-tale themed artworks by other amazing artists in the post below! x.com/holostarszin... #OnceUponAStarZine #Artavio

This guy not only took credit from my fellow Lorcana colleagues but also claimed to be an official Disney artist to inflate sales. In reality he has been black listed from the company for years after sketchy behavior. youtu.be/EqmvqrdHaSc?...

Wow! So while I still wish this case would’ve gone to trial, and believe the amount given per work should have been EVEN higher, $1.5 billion in settlement AND the destruction of infringing datasets is still a fantastic start! Congratulations to all those involved as these things are not easy!

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

Hackers compromised an artist platform, and now are threatening to upload all of the artists' art to AI tools if the platform doesn't pay up. A novel extortion strategy www.404media.co/hackers-thre...

AI grifter scammed their way into Dragon Con. The staff had them escorted out, lmao you love to see it

Crazy the lack of self awareness here. VFX artists are the reason he has anywhere near this fame. They've been an essential part of his success. So to basically say "I want VFX artists devalued & to need fewer" is such a huge slap in the face, and I feel for the people working on his films right now

“I’d like to see the cost of VFX artists come down.” — ‘Avatar’ director and Stability AI board member James Cameron claims effects workers are too expensive, putting blockbusters and the VFX industry at risk. www.cartoonbrew.com/vfx/vfx-arti...

1/8 Netflix just released guidelines on GenAi use. When all 40+ lawsuits on GenAl finalize, if it's found that GenAi models DO infringe copyright, will companies like Netflix pretend they never did stuff like buying VFX studios that build off Stable Diffusion & LAION or this?

Honestly this is an excuse. I know plenty of people who are not “naturally gifted” who do art. It requires effort to learn. I feel you did not approach it correctly or think things happen over night. Also hard work and skill is not “naturally gifted” as that undermines their efforts to draw. 1/2

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor. stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent. they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't. fuck them, pay labor.

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell. It's all about AI. They very much want to use AI. They very much want to use your art to train AI. They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI

Update thread #2. Hemlock One thing we worked on is a different tool to complement Nightshade. We discovered a new attack on diffusion models that is more generalizable than Nightshade. It targets an entirely different part of AI training pipeline, basically making AI models poison themselves.

i was actually chatting with someone about AIs. art related and whatevers. detail not important i guess. and this is my take at its core. so really. to me, doesnt matter if its "any good" or not. its a non-question. its just smoke screen.

Happy Birthday to Shinri ༼ つ ╹o ╹ ༽つ┌iii┐! I did the art for Silent Hill 2 (2024) stream. Thank you for revisiting my childhood nightmares. #JosuijiArt #BirthdayKoi2025

@inaturalist.bsky.social please explain what is being referred to here? What does "enhance[ing] biodiversity data by converting thousands of identification remarks into natural language explanations" mean. Won't that introduce a lot of nonsense into what is now an imperfect but important tool? 🌿 1/2

This hurts me more than twitter. I've recommended @inaturalist.bsky.social as a reservoir of animal references untainted by Gen AI. My current friend circle is from iNat. #InverteFest was born there. We don't know the details of this program but knowing they're enabling google's BS is painful.

Disney sent Midjourney a demand letter, Midjourney said they were reviewing it, never got back to them, then proceeded to launch several improved copyright infringing models

A few things 1. "genAi is a transformative work" - this lawsuit proves repeatedly how that's not the case, Midjourney makes exact copies 2. "they're going to settle!" for what? Disney and Universal want blood, not dollars 3. There's no way to unring this bell, you can't untrain these models

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

whelp, Etsy updated their ToS to allow AI art completely. Makes me so sad what the site has become.

After testing on my server by banning the Viggle app (Animate option) using its User ID it was still able to make posts. Also disabling "/" commands for users did not prevent them from using the bot. External bots were already not allowed on the server as well.
