They taught Al how to talk like a corporate middle manager and thought this meant the Al was conscious instead of realizing that corporate middle managers aren't

Thanks for hosting! 💚

I make fantasy & sci-fi illustration, all digital. Lots of it involves dragons, and most of it is creature concept art. 🐉

Thanks for the artshare!
Hi, I'm Melfist, I knocked my head when I was little and stories kept spilling out since then.
I mix digital and physical media. I do mostly fantasy and scifi, lots of monsters and character art. I also do comics.
A hooded man floats mid-air, sitting with crossed legs, over many hands carved out of cracked stone. He wears a brown tunic over white bandages that cover most of his body, including his eyes but not his mouth. His left forearm is missing, but replaced with some magical floating prosthetics in dark metal, floating in place of where his arm would normally fit. The man holds a hammer and chisel in his hand, and other tools for sculpting float around him, including a file, a saw and another chisel. Along the tools, three strange stone cuboids float around him. A long, narrow piece of fabric extending from his clothing turns and twirls around him, eventually continuing and shaping itself into the tail of a large canine made of stone. The creature has gold-veins running through the cracks in the stone, and floats above the sculptor. The creature has many golden eyes sprouting across its body, and three in its grinning face. The canine's ears and buck fur turn into a typical jester's hat bells. A lithe, feature-less figure, covered in a silvery sheen, sits crouched on a dark slab in a cavern, its arms folded. Reflecting slabs around the creature reflect the rest of the dimly lighted cavern, except for the figure, which doesn't appear in any reflection. The cavern is filled with black stone pillars, some of which are broken, revealing a hidden, bright quartz-like quality inside the rock. A hooded assassin, armed with daggers, lurks near the top of a stone building, maybe a cathedral or a tower. More gothic towers stand out in the city background, bathed in the light of dawn. Birds fly overhead and mountains can be seen in the distance. A huge monster reminiscent of a massive elephant carries a white city on its back. The monster is fleshy, pinkish, has multiple curve tusks, many tentacle-like proboscides, and walks on many shambling legs, some akin to that of a spider. It has two heads, one on each side of the city, each with four golden eyes and a small flame flickering above its head. A cloudy sky is shown in the background and mists surround its walking ground.

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.
Tamer Nahed 𓂆🇵🇸 @Tamer_Alnoaizy BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this? The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us. Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime. What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful. [the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.] 2:45 PM · Feb 10, 2026 https://twitter.com/Tamer_Alnoaizy/status/2021234178461704409

I'm pretty sure I know. They aren't. We're not going to really be able to make a lot of progress in dealing with the implications of this tech unless and until we get rid of all this "woo-woo" talk about LLMs. Anthropic pushing this line is PR, unserious.

So, big question.
Which one should I color next?
A large, headless tetrapod mech opens fire across the desert sands with a minigun and a light cannon. The mech has heavy, square shoulder pads loaded with missile launchers, and a frontal, vertical row of eye-sensors. Behind and above it, other similar mech are taking flight, compacting their form into a different configuration, or shooting with a flamethrower. A young woman with braided hair, a humble tunic, a hemp rope belt and callous hands holds a book and extends her hand, smiling, in friendship; the same woman, now old and wrinkled, uses a wooden walking stick and raises a shriveled hand to make a hieratic sign. Above the two figures, a majestic version of this woman with her hair free-flowing, flames and sparks erupting over her brow and from her open hands, offers a hug. Small signs mark her face around her white eyes, and a rhombus halo shines behind her head. A brawler, struggling to remain standing but still fighting. The man has raggedy hair, some nose bandage, and wears a reinforced leather combat vest over a shirt with its sleeves rolled up to show a well-defined physique. The man also wears a codpiece, metal-knuckled gloves, and large training armbands and greaves with leather, straps and four small round shields, strapped with six bolts and various leather straps over the two knees and the two forearms. A close look of a pirate ship's cannons, ready to fire. A man with an eyepatch and a brimmed hat lurks close to the windows. A second sailing vessel ahead moves across the waters, tilting to the right as they swerve.
