Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

For all the new artists joining Bluesky:

🎨 You can take time away from Bluesky and come back whenever you feel like, there's no algorithm to punish you!

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

get good

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community

go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

Eu vou além, o problema é que muita gente aqui ainda usa com mentalidade de Twitter/X. A rede parece morta se você não interage com as pessoas, e isso vale pra todo mundo inclusive o artista, usem tags, pode por link, mas não adianta postar e ir embora achando que vai ter algoritmo fazendo o serviço

Acho que o maior problema do Bluesky é que o povo não compartilha a arte dos outros. Pra gente ser visto e ver o outro, tem que compartilhar e se possível comentar. Não sabe o que dizer? Um emoji ajuda. Mas RT é fundamental pra criar comunidade.

saiu na Folha @folha.com
Tira de Laerte, em 10 quadrinhos. Uma pessoa, de óculos, fala para um aparelho tipo walkie talkie: “Vá e observe a realidade de perto.” - a voz de alguém responde: “Tá.” A seguir, uma sequência de 8 imagens de detalhes variados de objetos, todos exageradamente próximos, como um parafuso, um detalhe de embalagem, algumas folhas, manchas de óleo, algo como uma costura, parte de um pneu, um pedaço de papel de caderno. No quadrinho final, a pessoa de óculos fala ao aparelho: “Não tão de perto” - a voz de alguém responde: “Tá”.

Galera, segura minha mão

Sente:
Fazer arte baseado em estatística e número de mercado, o que "o público quer", é dirigir olhando só pro retrovisor.

Quem sabe fazer arte é o artista, não o público. Se o público soubesse o que ele quer, ele mesmo faria a arte.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner
