There is no amount of anger I can express to show just how fucking angry I am about Tim Haines fucking over paleoartists everywhere by promoting AI slop. The reason I have to battle daily thoughts of suicide is because of shit like AI infesting everything it touches including paleoart. Fuck you Tim.

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...

Walt Disney and Comcast's Universal filed a copyright lawsuit against Midjourney on Wednesday, calling its popular AI-powered image generator a "bottomless pit of plagiarism" for its use of the studios' best-known characters.

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)

US House Committee Advances 10-Year Moratorium on State AI Regulation | TechPolicy.Press

After an amendment challenging the moratorium language failed, it will advance with the rest of the legislative package.

Good lord just what the hell is up today. A potential ban on any regulation for AI for the next 10 years? This includes good bills like AB 412 of legislation protecting folks from Deepfakes! Wtf?! Call your congressmen and women asap to tell them to take this down! www.404media.co/republicans-...

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.

Karla Ortiz@kortizart.bsky.social · last yr.

Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm! For those of you wondering what to say here are two posts you can use to build your own script (use alt script to cut and paste) Need to find your representatives? Here you go: 5calls.org

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.

In the 80s, you weren’t called autistic or ADHD. You were called either gifted or retarded. Usually retarded. A lot of you cringed hard reading that Good

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.

Oh dear, ARK 😬 youtu.be/V2eCWWaCzwQ?...

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.

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.
