"Rowling will undoubtedly receive substantial royalties from the Fortnite skins… That money will likely be funneled into her hate campaign against trans people.

"… over a third of… funding for the [U.K.] case came directly from Rowling…"

Anastasia (1997) - Rasputin dressed in the the cowboy hat, boots, robe, tassled tank and gym shorts made famous by the Cale Brown Tiktok in which cale is dancing to the song "Rasputin" by Boney M. The Triptych features three poses of Rasputin as Cale brown: On the Left, Working his way towatd the camera, his expression serious and his march exaggerated. His hips sway to the left and his long beard flows to the right. In the center, a wild and interesting open-legged pose, his right hand brushing the robe out of the way, the left hand leading the viewer toward the right. On the right, up in the air, his hands raised in supplication to the divine - the music driving Rasputin toward ecstasy. His booties off the ground.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

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I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

it is terrifying and awful that this passed the House with any Dem support at all (and once again, the continued leadership support for Cuellar is unconscionable)

call your senators and make absolutely sure this dies in the Senate, lives are on the line

trans people deserve so much better

Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, and Vicente Gonzalez joined Republicans in voting to criminalize trans health care.

The bill passed only 216 to 214.

4 Republicans voted no. If they did too, it would have failed.

wow, it's Shonisaurus, the giant Triassic ichthyosaur!
fantastical drawing of Shonisaurus, an ichthyosaur (ancient marine reptile visually similar to a dolphin, but with four flippers). The Shonisaurus is covered in colored squares like a quilt, in varying tones of purple, blue, and orange. there is a speech bubble with the following in black handwritten text: "It doesn't matter to the companies whether any of their new AI tools help you. AI tools are not meant to help you. AI tools are meant to attract investors. Remember who fights and who capitulates."

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.

This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.
Swen Vincke @LarAtLarian Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: https://gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-dev-embraces-machine-learning-for-tasks-that-nobody-wants-to-do/1100-6531123/ We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground
