I just backed IAMAG Tools: The No-AI Creative Suite. Polish & Protect on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/iam... . It is refreshing seeing initiatives to save art.

Unpopular opinion. I kind of like when artists leave their old work in their portfolio, it helps me see who they are and where they come from and how they evolved, their ideas. If I can see more current work too, it doesn't lead me to think those old ones are their current level. What do you think?

Let's give back when possible, for the times we need it free while being students or through a rough patch in work or life, so we can keep having valuable tools and nice things and good work gets rewarded and recognised. Keep Blender going helping the Development Fund.

After months of dev and tests, here's the first open beta of IAMAG Art Tools: https://iamagtools.com/

The platform launches with eight production-ready tools spanning protection, creation, and professional development:

Games industry forces RTOs (often involving moving cities for a job that may not exist in a few months) because being in office together on zoom is just ~*so heckin valuable*~

but then replaces as many people as they can get away with with chatbots because the human connection doesn’t matter

Hmm!
