Turbosquid has a new data deal when you will get paid "When funds are available" I suggest artists do not join this obvious scam.

The doctor who claimed that vaccines cause autism lost his medical license for faking for the study. But his lies and the damage he did to public health persist long after his paper was pulled. This is why science communication is so difficult; all it takes is one grifter.

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

yes tell me more—academy award winning filmmakers and actors who are nearing the ends of their careers who have millions of dollars in the bank and who clearly don't care that their art was stolen and are now being paid by AI companies—about how AI is "inevitable" and "artists need to work with it"

haven't upgraded blender in awhile, what's the newest version.. *chuckles* I think we just stick with 5.0 "The MCP server will execute LLM generated code in Blender without any guards in place to protect your data from removal or being sent to a remote location" A whole lot of FAFO lying in wait

A lightweight MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Blender. It offers a natural language interface with Blender’s Python API, improving access to documentation, and allowing users to explore and understand complex setups.

I'm sorry but if you have 4,000 employees and your revenue is 6 billion, you make 1.5 million per employee and if you can't make a profit margin there, you are simply embezzling it.

I want every word of this in massive letters of fire in the sky. Thank you, @moryan.bsky.social.

I am sick to death of this — of the tech industry deciding it can do what it wants without consequences. Everything is a subscription, everything is harder to use and enshittified. Everything is built on something that was stolen or degraded. So-called AI – which is not intelligent at all – is being shoved into everything, and makes nothing better (quite the reverse). “Move fast and break things” now extends to the reputations and identities of respected professionals and creative people. And you have the nerve to presume we should all put up with every outrage, with every act of destruction, with every theft. I don’t. I won’t.

The government’s suggestion that rolling out 20 minute courses on writing “AI“ prompts, sponsored by Google, Microsoft and Amazon, is somehow comparable to the founding of the Open University (the Wilson government‘s, & Jennie Lee’s, proudest achievement), is an insult to our human intelligence.

This is the biggest targeted training
programme since Harold Wilson started the
Open University (note).

Open to all UK adults online, taking as little
as under 20 minutes, the courses will give

founding partners - Accenture, Amazon, Barclays, BT, Google, IBM, Intuit, Microsoft, Sage, SAS and Salesforce to take the Al Skills Boost programme to the next level and upskill 10 million workers with Al skills
by 2030.

No, thanks. How about spending the dosh on some free health screening to catch various conditions early, or going back to teaching creative arts and music in schools, or even financial savviness to kids. Anything but forcing more AI down our gobs.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

A comic called Animals with Misleading Names. There's an electric eel labeled "not an eel". There's a mountain goat labeled "not a goat." There's a maned wolf labeled "not a wolf." There's a king cobra labeled "not a cobra. Also, snakes are typically self-governing." There's a peacock mantis shrimp labeled "Not a peacock. Not a mantis. Also, not a shrimp." There's a horny toad labeled "Not a toad. Only thinks of you as a friend." There's a mayfly labeled "active through the spring and summer." There's an eastern kingbird labeled "found in the west. Many birds do not recognize its authority."

The problem with trying to convince people that they shouldn't use GenAI, is that - more often than not - the people that use it, are the kind of people that just can't be argued with. Ignoring any attempts to explain, hitting back with preposterous claims of their own etc. Pricks.
