Well well well 😏

Today marks five years since I started this account. Thank you to every artist, animator, programmer, designer, and all developers who have put so much care into crafting these special moments of affection. You make video games brighter.

Midjourney developers caught discussing laundering, and creating a database of Artists (who have been dehumanized to styles) to train Midjourney off of. This has been submitted into evidence for the lawsuit. Prompt engineers, your “skills” are not yours

After being left out the last time Magic the Gathering did an Ixalan dinosaur set, I finally got to do one.

My very first MtG art, please take a look.

Hey @ups - what gives? You've been giving poor Iris the run around for weeks now. There's absolutely no excuse for what you're doing.

Bros calling creativity privilege can go fuck themselves.

I HAVE APHANTASIA - MY MIND IS LITERALLY BLIND AND I STILL MANAGED TO LEARN HOW TO DRAW.

ANYONE CAN BE CREATIVE stop trying to justify your use of AI with such a lazy excuse - you’re addicted to instant gratification!!

Hold on she's actually cooking

🧵 Austrian physicans:

'We CAN’T take responsibility for the constant, unmitigated infection of the population w/ a vascular-damaging, neurotropic virus like SARS-CoV-2, in which a previous infection provides no long-term protection vs future infection.”

“COVID-19 is not a cold. It is not influenza. It is a systemic, vascular-damaging disease that only spreads via the respiratory route, via aerosols.

COVID-19 is neither over, nor is it a harmless infection without consequences.”

“We the medical community need to play an exemplary role and take measures to protect everyone and NOT continue to bow to social, media and political pressure.'

“Scientists are urging Americans to upgrade their face coverings. But Amazon, Google and Facebook restrict the sale of medical-grade masks. Critics say the rules are outdated.” nytimes.com/2021/02/26/hea…

Dr. Lucky Tran TaylorLorenz.Substack.com .Dr. Lucky Tran TaylorLorenz.Substack.com thank you for letting the public know about the online censorship. Do you know why Facebook continues to also censor posts on N95s & except for posts you have a direct link too or previously interacted with?

The White House told me at our meeting 20 months…

I typically avoid posting hot takes and was not expecting any kinda response, but it was nice to get a W out of this.

Still. Art made by AI will never have the same value compared to made by humans. The life experiences and ideals from its creator is what gives art value.

Unfortunately, a company I like using to make film captions, Rev, recently changed their TOS such that what you send them will be used to train #AI . You have to email them for the opt-out. I hope they will change the default to OPT-OUT.

So, pregnant people can’t cross state lines to get abortions but guys like Kyle Rittenhouse can cross state lines to murder people. Seems fair.

It seems they are running the same scams with AI in Japan, of requesting drafts from artists and then having them 'finished' with AI to resell as full commissions

Art is communication.
You are expressing your ideas and feelings to the viewer or listener.

An underappreciated aspect of [re]generative AI is how it drowns out your voice.
It often speaks for you, seductively convincing you it's your idea, your voice.

Terrible take. I love what I do, and I've experienced SIGNIFICANT burnout and stress. Implying you're only stressed because you haven't found your passion is a dangerous idea, because it stands to direct people away from what they love simply because they're having a hard time.

Absolute dogshit moderation. As many in favor to have ArtStation.com be a safe place for real human artists and not AI, I posted this image. Today I found it got taken down. Extremely disappointing. Hope you enjoyed my $$ for the years I had previously supported Pro subscription.
