🔴🟡🔵 BIG WALK 🔴🟡🔵 Out now on Steam, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. Hooray!

Ugh, this internet sucks.

Hi! Are you a furry who's recently begun transitioning, but haven't been able to afford to commission updated sona art? If so, I want to draw the new you!! I'm hoping to set up an entry form and gallery for this very soon, but I'd love to work with 1-2 folks in the meantime! DM if interested!! 🏳️‍⚧️🎨

Hah! Haha! HAHAHAA! WhatsApp is testing a monthly subscription to WhatsApp Plus. Check out all these great offerings that used to already exist. Wow. So cool, Meta. That's what was missing from your mass surveillance. Paying for extra pins.

Highly recommend Tweedlr's artwork, my own avatar was one of these commissions!

Bust commissions open!

I would love if someone could come up with a filter we could add to streams like Nightshade that would ruin any and all training that happens off our streams. Though this would be enough to make me stop. It sucks. We just want to make our own stuff, not push a button and fart out slop.

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.

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

Ever since my car caught on fire a few months ago, I've been struggling to rebuild my savings. So any boosts help a lot!

Would anyone be interested in a 90s style headshot from me? Final would look like this! Could do 'em for $65 each. Just send me a dm to get one! (you'll get a clear version and a VHS version)

I feel like this isn't talk about enough even though its MEGA helpful!! If you have any useful resources definitely share it in the comments! #Furry #Furries

Here's my advice for anyone JUST STARTING out that wants to become a Vtuber... I'm doing a series on pet peeves and hot takes about streaming and vtubing, but I wanted to at least give some advice for anyone thinking about jumping in fresh. #vtuber #streamer #twitch

I really appreciate that the game bounces you back down into the little menu area. Almost no downtime, but just enough of a pause that I don't just mindlessly start a new run. Makes a run feel just a bit more meaningful and makes it feel less manipulative than some mobile games. ❤️

These shitty AI corps (and their shitty enabler startups, why TF does an AI corp need an NDA while stealing books??) are doing bulk orders through places like INGRAM SPARK (fuck) -- I opted out of their shitty collusion but who knows if they'll abide by it. www.404media.co/ai-companies...

Honestly, their biggest mistake is thinking that Americans will side with the government over Taco Bell. Talk about not knowing your constituents.

it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption

last call for this! would love to speak to as many folks as possible!

Hi! I'm looking to speak to anyone who is finding ways to resist/work around mandatory AI usage policies at work. Mostly games industry-related, but happy to speak to anyone adjacent as well! Published quotes can of course be anon if desired. DM me here or email at luke@aftermath.site, thanks!

I'm ready for a career switch...

Huge new class action lawsuit filed by big publishers and authors against Google this week over AI training. It accuses Google of taking millions of books / articles provided to them for use only in Google Books, Google Play Books, and Google Scholar, and secretly using them to train LLMs. 🧵 1/4

Cringe is the death of the self. Free yourself from cringe and let yourself have a good time dping whatever weird or silly little thing you want (as long as it doesn't hurt or violate the consent of others).

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

It sure is! #can

You know what, let me put my money where my mouth is. Respond here, and I'll start responding back, giving as much as I can towards things you've made. Art (SFW or NSFW), craft, photography? I may not know anything about some of this, but I'll give you what I feel about it.

Your regular reminder: Comment on people's work. I get it, sometimes you don't think you have much to say, sometimes you're in a hurry, sometimes you don't want people knowing you're looking at some topics. But seriously, people worked hard on these things, and interaction is gold dust.
