Hey, I got some new followers. Thanks and welcome to bsky! Just thought I'd let you know that I'm very busy working on the second volume of my manga (link in the bio) so anything unrelated to that is currently taking a bit of a backseat.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".
Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

If you see a lot of political memes that have an out-of-place sepia filter, it's because the Studio Ghibli filter OpenAI added to ChatGPT was too popular and polluted their database, and will force a "nostalgic Ghibli sepia filter" onto images without asking. The recent White House Halo pic is one.

Also, why does AI always have this sycophantic tone of voice? "I love your setup with the ingredients." Have these losers never been praised by their parents? What's going on? No, really. What the fuck is going on?

I fell deep into the Silvagunner meme mashup hole over the last few weeks. I don't love having Slam Jam and Snow Halation stuck in my head 24/7 but finding stuff like this makes it all worth it: youtu.be/uNclWKM0zlQ?...

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Weird to finally be playing with Mario Paint as someone who didn't grow up with it (even though we had a SNES.) I think I would've been obsessed with it as a kid.

Last week, I got an email from Microsoft. It told me I’d be paying 46% more for my Office subscription, starting next month.
But when I tried to cancel, it offered me the same price I was already paying — without the generative AI features I never asked for in the first place.

“Ask CoPilot” is now above “Copy” in the contextual menu when you right click highlighted text in Outlook. Yeah man much more likely that I’m doing some AI bullshit than copying text thanks
I don’t want to ask CoPilot, I am making a Word document. I don’t want to search with Meta AI, I want to search Instagram. Leave me alone
