revisiting my old art notebook of "things to turn into spaceships" and decided to start with the centipede, but I can't pick which direction I should go... I could keep it sleek and futuristic/ very clean & post-modern, but I also love "living" spaceships, kinda eldritch/grotesque

it's not inevitable, it's not here to stay and its reason for existing is not "to help" you it's not true, it's not right, it's not how we used to do

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

Watching this series was an experience 😂 Every new season dropped, I was back to rewatching from the beginning. Joined for the music, hooked by dark plot reveals and cried more than a few times. A series I would recommend as one of my favourites, I just wish I could afford to get all the blu-ray's😞

Since we can now post even longer videos I can finally share this entire sequence watch Symphogear

Actually, let's do an #artshare here in this thread! If you're an #artist on Bluesky that doesn't use GenAI, feel free to drop your #commission post in the replies here! #art And if you're not an artist, please do commission the ones below to keep the community alive over here!

And in case you didn't know from my frequent reposts about it: I'm one of the few developers here against Generative AI and every type of it; this feature was built by my own fingers in the keyboard for the past month. Let's keep Bluesky the definitive way of finding amazing artists!

Streamplace exists to give creators true ownership of their video. Licensing and consent information are baked into every stream. Yesterday, we added a new field and enabled it by default: "Don't use my video to train generative AI."

2 slots are available for the end of July (any format)

Today’s free newsletter has a very simple message: The AI industry can not (and will not) be bailed out - AI is not too big to fail, OpenAI is not AIG, this is not 2008, and all of this is nothing like the Dot Com Bubble. And when it fails, we must let AI burn. www.wheresyoured.at/let-ai-burn/

hehe, finally added some lore to 2 of my OC's already uploaded onto Art Fight, and when I'm no longer tired, hungry or almost blind I will try to add other characters and some connecting lore for them too. I miss spontaneous writing like this sometimes, but 400 words is far easier than 40'000 😅

now we're fucking talking. They won't ever get that money but the point is to destroy the perpetrators and make it too risky to ever try to do similar again we should all be doing similar

Purchase with Purpose@purchase-w-purpose.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Millions of copyrighted songs were fed to AI music generators - now there's proof Suno and rivals are being sued for $150k per song. A sum that would bankrupt these companies and set an important precedent.

This might just be my favourite Miku yet. ...Anyone attempting Dragon Teto? 😳

dragon miku. tired of drawing scales im leaving it like this for now

PSA because I'm tired of this 🧵

people forcing AI use and shilling how great it is should be the ones to have datacenters built in their backyards, lets see how fast the pivot would be

Natasa Ilincic@natasailincic.bsky.social · 4mo ago

This is the data centre they're planning on building 10 miles from our home... It will use the same amount of energy in a year than half of Scotland’s households, or 20% of Scotland’s total energy use. aprs.scot/auchtertool-...

I dont like googledocs and what not but im reposting this for awareness too because a lot of people in my community have been scammed by this clown. Please be careful!

Bitchseraph PSA highlighting his scamming and financial abuse is now finished. If you have further information, please contact me. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

New adoptable open on my kofi. $50 personal use. $75 commercial use. I will put the link in the description. <3

Madhusudan 🦉 Katti@leafwarbler.myatproto.social · 5mo ago

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

This, and no 40,000 acre hyperscale data centers, pls

📖 Here's a new video rounding up my April projects, and talking a bit about the aftermath of certain community dramas. youtu.be/LzSAfsYenyE #blender

Genuinely embarrassing how many people react to this news as if its going to influence blenders' development. have they even seen the list of sponsor names? I'm also a sponsor, I'm just not CORPORATE. neither of us get more say in how blender develops, that's on the team and the community.🤦

Blender@blender.org · 5mo ago

Welcome Anthropic as a Corporate Patron sponsor of the Blender Foundation’s Development Fund! This support will be dedicated towards general Blender core development. More details at www.blender.org/press/anthro... #b3d #DevFund

Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️. But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤
