ALI☾E @polterdiced.bsky.social · 26/07/2026The hardest part about working on your own projects is definitely keeping up the routine. For some reason my brain always judges work I do for others as more important than when I do it for myself. Maybe I need to trick myself into thinking it's not for myself 010 0

ALI☾E @polterdiced.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Do companies not realise that using genAI in marketing material ruins brand value? Because customers see that they can't even afford to pay an artist. Unless I am misunderstanding and their entire goal is to have genAI scam aura. 000 0

Hence ID verification is being pushed. If it was for the kids they'd just make exploitative retention techniques on social media illegal, but that would cause them to lose $ 000 0
