When we expressed that we wanted to pursue art we used to be told there is no future in that particular field. But the machine that's scraping from artists' works is the one they believe has a future. #viensart #createdontscrape

i just googled "even ironic use of generative ai harms the planet meaning" and you would NOT believe what it came up with!!

everyone signing on to be a part of the new HBO Max Harry Potter series is endorsing this and should be treated accordingly

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

Foreign tourists to Japan love staying in traditional ryokans, with some inns saying inbound travelers now comprise 90% of their business. However, foreigners are less enamored of traditional Japanese food, leading some ryokans to stop offering meals at all. buff.ly/fppu8ni

Kyoto Ryokans Stop Serving Traditional Japanese Food That Foreign Tourists Hate - Unseen Japan

Many inbound travelers to Japan love staying in a traditional Japanese ryokan. However, they're not so keen on the food that comes with it.

I don't fear replacement, I fear humans losing the love of doing things for themselves. Why draw? Why ask questions? Why write? Because it brings joy. Because creating, putting forth effort, doing things, is what makes us feel alive. If we turn to machines for all of that, why live?

LLMs work by running statistics on existing data. So, like, if EVERYONE stops researching & innovating, instead just using AI, then that's it: the end of progress by definition, since we'll just be recycling existing data and feeding it back into the models. That's depressing.

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

My students are shown regularly how badly AI answers questions that they know the answers to. The problem is, if you’re ignorant, you don’t know that it’s wrong. (But it sounds like what they think an educated person sounds like.)

Tried to use my soft pastels today

Little gentle reminder to all the human creatives out there 💪

new print dropping for CAFKL ;D

men will literally crash the global economy before going to therapy

Every argument with AI tech bros always feels like this #createdontscrape #supporthumanartists

I have a near visceral dislike of the "Ghibli-esque AI" Ghibli is about painstaking craftsmanship. Of animators, actors and more spending *years* to create something that moves you across the spectrum of human emotion Go watch "The Boy & the Heron"/君たちはどう生きるか before using cheap tricks

Unseen Japan@unseenjapan.com · last yr.

The entire Ghibli ethos is tied up in the idea of craftsmanship. It's a textual subject of the films (hand carving violins in Whisper of the Heart, for just one example) and the meta work that goes into the films themselves. Their films feature hard workers, and are animated with sweat and tears.

Hot take on the gen AI issue. I hate to say this but AI Bros community macam ada better engagement than the artists community. I just saw a comic made by ChatGPT, then they have a lot of responses, most of them ask for what prompt did they use. So they have this spirit to learn from each other 1/?

If you're trans and you're making a webcomic, comment so I can make a starter pack of webcomics made by trans people for #transrightsreadathon !🏳️‍⚧️

How was I planning to play Monster Hunter Wilds but ended up making Caramel Pudding instead?? (1/2) #viensart

4threset.itch.io/reset-prologue Putting this up here because I've run through this and it seems to work!!! Only 10-15 minutes long, here's what I've been smashing away at for roughly a week! First foray into gamedev! Let me know your thoughts if you play it! :) (And if you find anything broken)

"RESET" - A prologue by 4threset

Five people going through a time loop. The catch is that two of them aren't experiencing time linearly.

Good morning. Remember not to support that movie with that genocidal queen. Her home state broke the ceasefire :( #freepalestine

Translation: "I'm a woman, my life is fine" Yet there are many more women who don't have the same privilege. Happy International Women's Day. #IWD2025 #InternationalWomensDay2025 #viensart

The actual joke I wanted to make. English translation in alt text. It sounds funnier in Malay tbh Lamar = propose lama = long (time) #kendricklamar

I've seen a huge uptick in these kinds of booth designs, paired with a vendor who's stuck on their phone and won't even acknowledge their would-be customers. The last con I was at, I couldn't get the attention of someone who's art I wanted to buy, so I just left instead

VieN | Commissions open!@comicsbyvien.bsky.social · 2y ago

I had this unpleasant experience 2 years ago and last weekend I saw a similar booth design. So I'm just sharing do's and don'ts on how to design your booth at artist alleys (ideally). Feel free to suggest others ideas! #viensart #artistalley #artistbooth #doujinbooth

Controversial opinion: Women who have not been violated by men have the right to avoid them too. Women do not have to pay a rape tax to get the right to espouse a mistrust of the class socially, culturally, and legally empowered to violate them.

I've been thinking a lot about comics lately and the craft and calling of making them. So I wrote myself a comics manifesto. Please comment, share, steal, or disregard.
