Something went DOWN on a local digital art discord server and I missed it. While I'm not usually one for "drama" I am so curious as to what happened 😳

One benefit from AI slop has been my genuine adoration for non-artistic people making shitty graphics and signs that say "I will never use AI even tho this took longer and looks a bit shit". Y'all rock.
"I am an extremely powerful AI image generator. I was trained on the entire history of art, with a database of billions of illustrations and photos. What would you like to create?" "Um, we've got a pub quiz coming up so can you make one of those shite posters everyone else does"
My opinion on zoo's is complicated, but there's no denying the Joburg one has its moments.
🎵 29 bottles of beer on the wall, 29 bottles of beeeeer 🎵 First time homebrewing in a while and I always forget how much finnicky work it is carrying around heavy pots and keeping it all sterile. So hopefully in 10 days I have something actually good.
Honestly #Blender is one of the coolest things you can learn to use. Making some animations and taking some photos so I can add these bad boys to Cults3D later!
holy shit!! artists!!! you guys!! pinlite.app someone made a pinterest facade site that just strips away all the dumb bullshit and gives you only the images this is AMAAZINNNGGGG. Not to mention the web 1.0 grey and blue link vibe lol
The first 9 that popped to mind, there are definitely way more that aren't exclusively in the mid 00's 😅

I fucking love 3D printing. 24 hours ago this piece of tabletop sci-fi scatter terrain was just a sketch on my iPad. And now I'm running off the parts for a whole set to paint up.

Brennan is such an antithesis to Elon I think that if they were ever within 1000m of each other the universe would implode.
This is every tech bro ever 🤣🤣
I just need my cars tires checked, I don't need ANOTHER app 🥲
To the person noting there is not enough money in the world to license every piece of intellectual property stolen for "AI" training: you're sooooo close to the point, friend, keep going, you'll get there if you try
It's been a while, but I remember thinking it was really weird the way this film depicted animatorion as a job. Might be due a rewatch though. It was VERY twee.
name a film that got your job entirely wrong.

Yes, THIS. I am wrapping on an animation project that touches a little on this a little bit, and I was reading literature specifically about the Namib region. Hoping to share the final film soon, but amazing to see this topic getting out there on multiple fronts right now especially.
Across the global majority, politicians defend anti-LGBTQIA+ laws as protecting “traditional culture”. Often, those laws aren’t tradition at all. They are colonial imports. From the archive #BHM2026 👇
I went on my first ever actual cosplay thingy With my big toy :D (made with love using @blender.org @blender3d.bsky.social ) Also im glad I switched to an a7r6 a while ago, the resolution is superb with this sirui 35mm T1.4 (set at T2) #cosplay #art #b3d
GenAI boosters are oblivious to how completely reliant they are on the companies and infrastructure for the tech existing uninterrupted for the foreseeable future. You take any digital tool away from an actual creative and they could probably still implement their vision with a burnt stick on stone.

This is ridiculous, I have followed @loish.bsky.social for YEARS, well before Gen AI was a thing. In fact, the accusation probably comes from how much her art has been STOLEN AND FED to LLMS to produce slop that remotely looks like hers… insane world we live in
Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.
Working in motion graphics for 13+ years, I have had projects pixel fucked to within an inch of their lives by everyone from hyper local one-man startups to producers on massive international brands. But sure, Coca-Coola, let's pour another billion into this tech and let real talent starve.

It's unseasonably cold and rainy in Joburg tonight, and I'm making my best efforts to do something not screen related for the evening. But more often than not I'm looking over my book at this ridiculous creature.
