Please share your feedback on how genAI destroys the livelihoods of artists on the official EU website. You can do so even if you're not an EU citizen. We have to be loud so the change will come, and practice shoes that voicing hatred towards genAI works ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

At least we have the option at all, but it could have been more creator friendly.

🚨 Twitch users, turn off this setting if you don't agree with Amazon training their AI on your Twitch content. I think it's so predatory that they opt you in by default, and they have put it in your account privacy settings, not in the creator dashboard or channel settings. Not impressed Twitch.

I'm so pleased my art has inspired you! :D

This move by Twitch will be unsurprising to me, but it is immensely disappointing. The best we can do is have our say on this on this UserVoice: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... The longevity of this investor bait continues to astound me, and I will continue to wait for its collapse.

Felt like revisiting MSPaint and had a bunch of fun painting this on stream today! #art #MSPaint #digitalpainting

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow of two white roses that have grown right next to each other. Sunlight is cast across them, making them radiate the light, and is dappled across the dark leaves around them.

If you don't like what Twitch is planning regarding their upcoming AI midstream summary feature go and vote on this uservoice post. Super important to make your voice heard to Twitch about this!

#HKAM26 Day 29 - Dream No More: I wonder what thoughts crossed Hornet's mind as she watched the void drain away. #HollowKnight #art

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow depicting a scene from the game Hollow Knight. In a dimly lit room, a character called Hornet looks down from the edge of a shallow pit to a cracked skull object in a pool of pitch black fluid, the remnants of the game's main character. The perspective of the painting is from within the pit, looking between the two halves of the cracked skull to Hornet beyond. A number of round lights hang from the ceiling above.

#HKAM26 Day 27 - Kingdom's Edge: Ah the strange wonders of the edge of the kingdom. #HollowKnight #art

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow depicting a scene from the game Hollow Knight. We look up a misty cylindrical chasm from below. A huge wall rises up one side, and Rocky outcroppings make up the rest. The game's main character, the knight, stands on one of the outcroppings looking up. The corpses of fighters fall down from high above, with a couple having come to rest on some of the outcroppings. Some bulbous flying bugs are suspended in the bright air high above.

#HKAM26 Day 24 - Abyss: Be wary when facing the abyss, for you may become lost in it. #HollowKnight #Silksong #art

A digital painting by JamesBBarrow depicting a dimly lit scene from the game Hollow Knight: Silksong. The main character Hornet kneels on a small ledge and looks down over it, gazing into a dark abyss of writhing tendrils. Dark threads rise up out of this abyss, strung up into the ceiling up above. Thin pillars create archways over Hornet and dark vines dangle from them.

#HKAM26 Day 19 - Surface Momento: Such a momentous moment, for a place so subdued. #HollowKnight #Silksong #art

A digital painting depicting a barren and battered location in the game Hollow Knight: Silksong. The main character Hornet is standing in a crumbling house of sorts, made from an old shell. She is playing a string instrument made from a needle. A ghostly figure, glowing and stationary, appears in the space before her, seemingly linked to the world by a faint glowing thread.
