Hey friends! Just found out I have a suprise week off I can’t exactly afford, so this would be a great couple of weeks for a last minute commission with guaranteed quick turnaround!

Illustrators, if you get an email that sounds like this, it's a scam! Spend a little time in anti-scam groups and you'll see this same type constantly. Writers and fine artists get it all the time.

I was going to order some fancy coffee beans but I realized the company is now using AI to make their labels. Wtf. And they look awful. I wish companies would realize they're losing business over this kind of thing.

An important read. I've been struggling to stay afloat for a few years and not just sink into it out of sheer exhaustion and apathy. The tethers that have kept me from doing so are alarmingly few in number, and I am making every effort I can to try and save my own life by casting out more.

"Ave Sangria" is a classic album from 1974 by the band Ave Sangria, which is/was a Brazilian psychedelic combo. The album was banned after only a month and a half since its release because of censorship. The cover is supposed to portray a drag queen parrot. open.spotify.com/album/1RF1bf...

twitch has said that it won't be introducing labels to differentiate between channels that opt into amazon's ai training and those that don't. so streamers are taking matters into their own hands
As first spotted by Zach Bussey, numerous streamers have begun adding “AIOptedOut” to their tag selections on Twitch. Other popular tags with similar aims include “NoAI” and “NoGenAI”, with the latter managing to attract big names like longtime streamer Chris “Sacriel” Ball. While this approach is by no means comprehensive, it at least gives viewers a selection of streamers who for sure aren’t letting Amazon’s creepy crawly data-scraping bots go hog wild on their broadcasts. 

Streamers say it also sends a message.

“‘What does this do?’” wrote a streamer named Shania, who has also taken to displaying a “This channel doesn’t train Gen AI models” banner in her Twitch profile. “It gets people talking. The only way things can change is if we use our voice.”

“I'll be joining in,” said another streamer who goes by the handle Drunklockholmes. “Deception and hiding things like this is a company's whole MO. They know you don't like it, but know there's a chance that what the viewer doesn't know won't hurt them.”
