Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

I can’t think of any other time in modern video-game history that a game as highly anticipated as Silksong has arrived with no early reviews, impressions, leaks, guides, videos, or even forum teases.
Soon, everyone will be playing Silksong for the first time. It’s unprecedented and kinda beautiful

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.
Hey gang I've had to learn recently that the whole "burning out" thing is real so if you find yourself being panicked every waking second that you're not working on something, despite those seconds being very rare, you should maybe listen to the signals and take an intentional break before you crash

MIndset shift I'm mulling over when making art. Rather than saying "I'm bad at x" I'm going to try and shift how I communicate that to myself and others as "I'm unpracticed at x" because the latter contains in part the solution and it helps me feel less stuck.
I'm unpracticed at drawings heads.

So... I'm gonna be a bit more blunt today in regards to AI usage in the TTRPG space.
The harder it is made for folks using AI to find acceptance and gain traction, the less of it we will see.
This means blocking them on Social Media, and reporting them on sites where they sell their trash.

I don't think I can give anymore leeway to the crowd who pleas you to look past the predatory practices because their gacha of choice makes them personally happy
[Automaton] Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.
