At the end of the day what people keep asking for is the ability to know when something is or is not AI so they can make their own informed choices about how they interact with it. Hopefully tools like SynthID become widespread so it doesn't fall on the user to make their own determinations.

Artists: - Likes do not determine your value - It's okay to not create - Not everything you make has to be important or good - You can make things just for yourself - You're allowed to rest - You're so much more than what you make

The paper is not at all suitable for watercolor. I should have done this with gray pencils but I absolutely wanted to use watercolor. It’s very rare that I use the semi-realistic style. I tested the mixture of blue with skin color and it feels great !

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

If anyone uses Stripe to get payments, go to your Settings (Gear icon) > Plans and Fees > Radar (View plan details) > View Plans > Scroll to "More Options" and select "Lite" I want none of the money I earn to go to AI if I can help it.

nice, now Stripe is auto-opting people into a nickel charge per transaction for "AI-enhanced" protection shit they never asked for you can change it back to their free "Lite" version, but the fact that it's opt-out by default is so fucking annoying

Well, I added a bit of padding, but I'm running into the same problem again: the left leg is narrower than the right. Oh well... I had this same issue with V2. I'm going to wait for the temperature to drop a bit before styling the wig; in the meantime, I can keep working on my Kairi (KH3) cosplay.

Alright, I'm going to try making some adjustments to the pants, add some padding to the legs, and see how it turns out. Also, a huge thank you to everyone who liked my post ! 🥹💖

The only way to get them to reverse their decision is to hit them where it hurts—their finances—by stopping purchases of their consoles and games from PlayStation Studios. In short: boycott Sony. As long as people keep buying from them, they’ll keep up this nonsense.

"We’re going to cautiously move this forward" - Sony says it hears the PlayStation disc backlash but will continue its plans. CFO Lin Tao said its focus was on trying to "engage the gamers" in "the future digital ecosystem". www.videogameschronicle.com/news/were-go...
