Be certain, as is always the case with things such as this, that ANYTHING can be considered sexual and can end in a blanket account shadowban under this. It is easily weaponized it is determined by an AI moderation system. There is no accountability or recourse. you probly can't read this.
It's kind of hilarious to see Bluesky eagerly making a run at self-immolation by learning absolutely nothing from Tumblr's self-own.

I wrote this comic 2 years ago. I was terrified when I wrote it but had hope it wouldn't come to pass and would be a reminder of how bad things got before we pulled back. It not only has, it has gotten even worse. This is absolutely terrifying and will destroy lives if passed.
Sherry CD-ROM 🏳️⚧️@sherrycdrom.bsky.social · 5mo agothis bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.
This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it
Bugs, Yaoist@bugsmaytrix.bsky.social · 5mo agoit's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
I wrote this and I put my all into it—an 80 page SF novella with complicated characters, big action, and some really exciting worldbuilding. Please sign up / consider pledging when it’s live on March 1!

A reminder than in these times of genAI: in order to support actual human creativity my DMs are permanently open to ANY new or aspiring comics creator (yes, including you) who has questions or needs feedback regarding writing, art, or the industry at large. Ask ‘em if you got ‘em!
Really tired of Instagram constantly suggesting pro-AI posts to me no matter how many times I block them. They always start with 'this changes everything' & end with 'comment __ to find out more,' and, like, buddy, I already know it's a scam, you don't need to tell me with your whole chest.
people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

Kris Dobbins@krisdobbinsart.bsky.social · 6mo agoCalled and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale. So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???
If you are still using Pinterest for reference material, it's only going to get worse than it already is.
Jameela Wahlgren 🏳️🌈 🎨@jameelawahlgren.bsky.social · 6mo agoPinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working" So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images
I put my new comic up on itch! $8 for a 34-page horror story! On Halloween night in 1994, two teenagers and their bully walk into a stranger's basement, and discover an uncomfortable secret about a girl they know. You can read it here: keezyyoung.itch.io/its-bitter
Too cold to use the resin printer this week, so I thought I'd start running off the pieces for my Munsters scene I'm working on. Still need to model the door knocker and handles.
I can't wait to start sharing the pages that have been going up on Patreon, but it's just the first six as a teaser before I pause for a bit while i get started on it properly. It'll probably be the back half of February/early March when I start posting them regularly here.

Data is correct, causal agency is (IMO) incorrect. The vast majority of ppl who use AI to make images and video have never touched and would never touch Photoshop/AfterEffects/Illustrator/etc. The issue is Adobe trying to squeeze its users with subscriptions, and other customer-hostile behavior.
Neal Curtis@nihilcurtis.bsky.social · 7mo agoFrom Dare Obasanjo on Mastodon. Adobe is hitting the floor. #AI
Maybe if they focused on keeping the apps from being absolute memory pigs, stopped all the fun new bugs from crashing them all the time, and stopped shoving AI promos in your face all the time, we might be able to use them again instead of looking for functional alternatives.

Inspired by our provincial government's seeming drive towards privatization through mismanagement, this was the original text on the poster before I swerved towards corporations.
