One small store put few Pokémon 30th Celebration sets on preorder few moments ago. Their site was so laggy when people were clearly waiting for preorders to open but the lagginess dissappeared when the products and prices came up: the prices were 3-4 times higher compared to normal price range.

It's hard to preorder any Pokémon 30th Celebration sets where I live. Either those things are sold out very quickly or the price is ridiculously high. Normally Elite Trainer Box would cost around ~70€ but currently the prices for those are nearly 200€. FOR AN ITEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN PUBLISHED YET!!

Trying to redesign a small part of an old oc's design. I thought it would be a quick progress but turns out I am really stuck with the redesigning. Most of the test designs on that small part make him look more something else than what he is suppose to be (he should be more beastlike than humanoid).

I thought I had bitten my tongue in my sleep, but it seems like I might have a canker sore on my tongue instead. Cool, instead of my tongue healing in few days the healing progress is actually 1-2 weeks. 💦

Another day, another water study/warmup. Experimented a little bit different technique this time and it also works well for me. 🌊 (I also have some Artfight attacks and revenges on the works, but I can't show any wips of those yet, so these water studies have to go for now. 😅)

Yesterday my girlfriend asked do I happen to know the name of a movie where Hitler is dressed up in a maid outfit and gets a pineapple shoved up his ass. I'll let you decide which is more wtf: a movie like that actually exists or me knowing the answer to her question right away. 😂

Started to got those "I need to finish this art piece before time X" -thoughts again which is cue for me stop doing art for today. Already suffered few art burnouts because of those selfmade time limits and I would like to avoid those. Those little art projects aren't in a hurry to get finished. 🙌

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.
