If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

Okay, so I would really like @mark-carney.bsky.social to take a look at Ireland right now, because not only do they have the Artist UBI, artists also don't pay income tax on the first €50,000 they make. That's about $80K in Canada.

A certain AAA studio told employees that their internal gen AI was trained only on local data, but whenever said employees tried to generate an image of a woman holding a gun, it generated Lara Croft. The studio was not Crystal Dynamics, and had never worked on the Tomb Raider IP in any capacity.

might be common knowledge, but some people block channels that use AI in thumbnails. youtube has an option to "never recommend this channel again" and i only ever use it when a channel's thumbnails are all AI i hope someone can convey to aspiring youtubers that it'd be good to grow out of this ASAP

This is what happens when the priority becomes making content as quickly as possible, rather than making something worthwhile. You need time to think, and have that breathing room to allow yourself to do the job properly. It's not a "bad habit". It's a sign something has gone fundamentally wrong.

Writers, stop using Gen AI products. In addition to the many other reasons it sucks (tech based on theft, tool of fascism, makes your brain soft) if you are found out, companies that might've wanted to republish you internationally, adapt for film/TV, etc., will label you a lawsuit risk & walk away.

The thing about being ruled by a gerontocracy is that cohort mortality is a probability density, meaning all these fuckers start dying around the same time -- in clusters. The same Weibull Distribution "bathtub curve" explains why batches of light bulbs and hard drives all die in the same month.
A line graph plotting the probability density function of a Weibull distribution over time. The horizontal axis represents elapsed time, and the vertical axis represents the probability of failure. The curve models a wear-out scenario where the shape parameter is greater than one.At the beginning of the timeline, the line starts near zero, indicating a very low risk of early failure. It remains low and relatively flat across the initial and middle stages of life. As time advances toward the right, the line curves sharply upward (called the "bathtub curve" because it resembles the back of a bathtub. It forms a steep, narrow peak that represents a concentrated cluster of failures near the end of the maximum lifespan. After reaching this maximum peak, the curve plunges rapidly back down to zero, indicating that nearly all subjects in the population have failed.

Had some time earlier today whilst waiting for Halfords to come replace my dead car battery. Was a good distraction from the unexpected expense lol. I love how vivid these pastels are. I've been dying to play and experiment once some projects were out the way. #Transformers #softpastels
A photo of a traditional portrait artwork. The character is Tailgate from Transformers IDW, looking to the right in a 3/4 angle. The artwork has been colored with soft pastels on a dark sandy paper. Pastel strokes have been incorporated into and around the character for a glitch type effect.
