PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

Screenshot of the Nvidia app's "Settings > Features" section.
Showing the newly added "AI Agents and App Connections" section.
The option for "Allow Agents to control NVIDIA App" is enabled by default.
This happened in version 11.0.9.565

I'm seeing a few folks unaware during the whole "moving from Tapas to ComicFury" scenario that bears repeating: ComicFury does NOT have an app! Do not download whatever fake CF app is out there. CF has a custom-built mobile viewer on most of its hosted sites. Use the browser website!!

You know, I'm seeing a lot of blame?? placed on webcomic creators for using Tapas instead of their own hosting site, and I'm just saying like...can we not? Small artist v corporation, guess which one always wins Anyway, let's work on options for READERS to build their own reading list, maybe

What is happening with clip studio? Looks like they might be potentially be bullied into compliance by payment processers similar to the Steams and Itch .ios adult games getting massive purges. "This includes plans to strengthen the system to include age restrictions" potential Age verification?

- We are working to update the service so that you can re-download materials you have already purchased or downloaded even if the original listing has been set to private. We appreciate your patience while these updates are underway.
- You can continue to use materials that you have already downloaded in personal and commercial artwork even if the listing is removed, unless it was removed for copyright issues or a serious rule violation.

Clip Studio Assets has a community of diverse users of many age groups, regions, and cultures, each with varying attitudes toward what is considered sensitive content. Increasingly, we must consider who is viewing such content and how it is presented. Moderation decisions are made on the basis of keeping the platform safe and universally accessible, with no intention to reject artists’ creative expression. However, as the Clip Studio Assets service currently operates on a binary choice between displaying content to all users or removing it entirely, there are cases where we are required to private materials or require modification before re-posting.

We recognize feedback from creators expressing that it is difficult to tell which specific elements are affected and how to modify materials for re-publication. We will provide clearer explanations in light of any changes to evaluation criteria, along with more concrete examples to make it easier for creators to check their materials before posting.

To support a wide range of creative expressions while ensuring user safety, we are working on ways to improve Clip Studio Assets. This includes plans to strengthen the system to include age restrictions, regional controls, and user preferences. Our goal is to enable creators to publish their materials to the appropriate audiences without needing to remove materials completely, so it can remain a safe and reliable service for both users and creators.

If you make a character appeal to an β€œaudience” you’re gonna be miserable. Mary sues are a stupid concept. Make your OC powerful Make what YOU want to see and what you like. Who cares if it’s been done before, or if it’s similar to another character, or might be cringe. It’s YOUR OC

What advice would you give to someone who wants to create an original character? What have you learned from your own creativity? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

Ah well. I'm fully aware that Bluesky itself has a lot of AI coding in it, but I think the moral thing to do is cut down on extraneous, pointless use of it as much as possible. Bluesky serves as a utility, while this stupid contest is completely useless, so it can easily be discarded.
