RLP I was lucky that as a artist I had a back up career ( thank you ADHD), which meant when I burned out due to financial and mental illness, I could still provide for myself. Not every artist can/should do this. Please support the artists whose work you enjoy so it's viable for them to keep going

Most creatives literally cannot exist without social media support at this stage. There just isn’t another viable option, which is bad for our mental health and long term viability. You literally do have to buy from the artists you enjoy here if you want them to continue making work.

It's worth reiterating - Microsoft's own research indicates that use of generative AI degrades critical thinking skills and erodes confidence in unassisted decision making.
I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance.
Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Oh please please i am begging, don't use generative AI for any reason if you can avoid it.
It's being marketed as a quick time-saver, but it's messy, inaccurate, it is putting entire industries of people out of work, and the environmental impacts (energy and water usage) are huge and debilitating.

This is an astonishing statement, a complete fantasy. Baseless Techbro PR babble. The arts is a huge industry in the UK, raking in billions despite a huge lack of central support. Our government now appear to want to crater this to facilitate thieves. Write to your MP.

The AI consultation is long, and stuffed with tech babble questions that presuppose the bill is already in place and everyone broadly agreed AI is great. Even so, all UK creatives have an interest in completing it and telling the Government to fuck it off into the Moon.

This consultation seeks views on how the government can ensure the UK’s legal framework for AI and copyright supports the UK creative industries and AI sector together.

This is a very good visual for how talking about artists helps us. If you’ve commissioned, bought from or worked with an artist, please talk about it. It helps us a lot.
Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

Bluesky’s incredible growth up until now can be pretty directly attributed to people fleeing here to avoid the exact kind of virulently toxic social media behavior Singal and his ilk represent
and I think it’d be a pretty shockingly stupid own-goal for Bluesky to start chucking that aside now

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

Normally I would simply laugh and encourage others to laugh but no, fuck off OpenAI, you don't get to run roughshod over the rights of working writers and artists and cry "abuse" when we defend ourselves. We should be *angry* about this.
Something *really* telling about open ai calling artists “abusers” for trying to set up boundaries to protect our work.

If.... If I wake up and I'm somehow over 1k in the morning, I'm gonna have to whip up another scantily clad OC celebration art like right quick, damn.
I thought I had another year to go before that happened, but wow, look at you all! But who should it be....??

NGL after largely being off social media for a year. Definitely noticed a big difference in overwhelm and depression and a massive improvement in mental health. Whilst SM def has good points. Please remember to take a break from it.
