There's a timeline where I had rich, shitty parents that indulged this horse shit, and ended up like Sam Bankman Fried.

I *too* hyperfixated on test scores and my "wasted potential" as I nearly slipped through the ADHD cracks of American education. Even thought it was actually everyone else's fault I was poorly adjusted. Then I turned 22.

Fucking sucks, too, because Carbomb's original art style and video direction were super unique and clearly done by hand, with love. And they won't get a fucking penny from me again until they change course.

Bruno @itsbruno.xyz · 27/09/2026

Not a lot of comments, but they seem to get no reach on here, as far as the authors go. Unfortunately, I see bands like (I'll name one) Carbomb continue to get praise for their (admittedly awesome) music, despite clearly going full AI on the last album for all of the art, promo, merch, etc.

I will always extend grace for people who are really strapped, or who genuinely didn't know any better, but we're now coming up on five years into this. Probably closer to ten if you've followed Stable Diffusion and those early communities' impact on extreme music album art.

Bruno @itsbruno.xyz · 27/09/2026

And to be fair, I see more musicians guilty of the latter than writers. But regardless, the point stands: Fuck you. I can't trust your art, and I can't trust you to support your fellow artists.

Bruno @itsbruno.xyz · 27/09/2026

As I said, I *get it* with promo material. I have no sympathy at all when people turn that AI art around into monetized merch or perks. You are now cutting an artist out of the loop and monetizing it. You're taking money out of the hand of someone in your same position, with art you didn't create.

100

Bruno @itsbruno.xyz · 27/09/2026

...a visual artist in a similar boat? You amplify each other. Promote the work. You form relationships, get involved in each other's ventures. You've both effectively doubled your reach. You find genuine friendships. This is the authentic way to "network" as a creator. This is artistic solidarity.

100

Bruno @itsbruno.xyz · 27/09/2026

Even if it's promo material, it makes me feel as though I can't trust that the rest of your art isn't also generated. But while I hate it, and this is how I feel, I *do* get it. When you're a broke artist, you need an edge. But have you considered the promotional edge of hiring...

Bruno @itsbruno.xyz · 27/09/2026

...even at my most credulous in those early Stable Diffusion and Night Cafe days, I'd never even considered replacing an actual artist with AI for something I wanted to sell, something I'd want to channel my inner world with, something I'd want to manifest into the world.

100

Bruno @itsbruno.xyz · 27/09/2026

Yes, in the early days, I also messed with generated images in situations I never wanted to monetize. I changed my opinion on this over two years ago. As much as I hate the industry and big tech, I've never been a dogmatic AI hater. I'm not proud of the memes and blog images I'd made. That said...

Bruno @itsbruno.xyz · 27/09/2026

Shower thought: I follow a lot of indie authors on here in the SF/horror/fantasy/scifi space. It's disappointing how many of them promote with AI videos. Same with bands that use it for album art and promo videos. I've lost a lot of respect for some otherwise awesome bands because of it. Why?

Continues to amuse me how many of the big Russian hacktivist groups of the last four years have basically become these weird zombie scam orgs now, periodically making bold claims of activity while there’s a steady stream of these attempts to monetize hype they were able to briefly garner.

This is the second major far-right clash with police in the Hague, in just about a year.

Bruno @itsbruno.xyz · 20/09/2026

Maybe the biggest difference here, compared to some other places, is that at least the police and government forces are still willing to crack Nazi skulls with *marginally* more enthusiasm than anti-genocide or climate protestors, mostly because of the cop vs. hooligan flavor these clashes take.

NoName057(16) seem to be branching out more into little AI generated media posting, if you’ve ever discussed #hacktivism with me you’ll have probably heard me say “DDoS is pretty boring to look at”, screenshots of 404 webpage errors just aren’t inspiring. These videos are presumably to counter that.

Link's Awakening is the first game I ever remember playing. The brain breaking nostalgia this thread is kicking up makes me feel so sad, but stupendously grateful for having played through this beautiful story. By far the best take on "it was all a dream" that I can recall.

OpenAI did not "lose control", the agents did not go "rogue" and there is no "swarm" that "escaped". all control and responsibility remains firmly in the hands of these "frontier" labs. most importantly this "rogue" narrative is an intentional and strategic marketing PR
