I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.
‘Children's book illustrator isn't a job anymore.’ I've been out of work for a while now. I made children's book illustrations, stock art, and took various art commissions. Now I have several maxed out credit cards and use a donation bin for food. I haven't had a steady contract in over a year. two weeks ago, when a client who has switched to AI found out about this he gave me $50 out of "a sense of guilt." Basically pity for the fact that Illustrator, as a job, does not exist anymore. It was my birthday recently and I sincerely considered not living anymore. The worst part of all is that the parents who once supported me fully in being an artist sent me an AI generated picture of a caricature of themselves holding a birthday cake with my name spelled incorrectly.

As usual, using children safety as an excuse for control. We risk losing our privacy, leaks of personal information, and much much more

If you live in an undecided/support country (like I do, sadly) please contact your representatives

Something about the two stories about ChatGPT's involvement in suicides/murder that came out this week that really stuck out to me: OpenAI basically has a boilerplate response when their product gets people killed.

"Deeply saddened"

www.wsj.com/tech/ai/chat...
www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...
WSJ: An OpenAI spokeswoman said the company has reached out to the Greenwich Police Department. “We are deeply saddened by this tragic event,” the spokeswoman said. “Our hearts go out to the family.” NYT: Ms. Raine started reading the conversations, too. She had a different reaction: “ChatGPT killed my son.” In an emailed statement, OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, wrote: “We are deeply saddened by Mr. Raine’s passing, and our thoughts are with his family. ChatGPT includes safeguards such as directing people to crisis help lines and referring them to real-world resources. While these safeguards work best in common, short exchanges, we’ve learned over time that they can sometimes become less reliable in long interactions where parts of the model’s safety training may degrade.”

‘Overwhelming Aura’ one of the illustrations I’ve done for Daggerheart 🗡️💜 (AD @robotpencil.bsky.social )
A muscular, female goblin with a long braid and a more tribal outfit summons a yellow aura above and behind her, looking vaguely like a goblin face. a skeleton wielding a greatsword is in the foreground. the illustration is held in brown, orange and yellow hues

The "add details and survive" challenge is over
The image shows a character in dark, detailed armor with wings, levitating above a stone throne. A glowing purple black hole is visible on his chest. The character has blond hair and wears a raven mask. In his hand he holds a glowing sphere of energy. The background consists of architectural elements reminiscent of a Gothic cathedral, with arches and stained glass windows.

Wait, is it #PortfolioDay already? 💀

I'm Camila, concept artist and illustrator working in games and books. I love SFF and a touch of horror! My character work tends to get most attention, but I like variety and at heart I'm a bit of a generalist.

🖼️ cara.app/camilabrun
📨 info/@/camilabrun.com
Digital painting of a creature made of arms barging down a dark corridor. It's dark, with skin ridged like bark yet but smooth like obsidian, and embers rise from it. The hands don't look quite human, with weird joints and sharp tendons and knuckles. Its lower half is still forming, and there's an overturned brazier behind it spilling incandescent coal on the floor. It's holding most of its hands in menacing claw-like positions, with arms intertwined in the center forming the bulk of its body. It stands taller than a person, but isn't large enough to fully block the passage. The corridor is flanked by tall windows in art deco style, with a gentle breeze blowing the translucent curtains. There are ornamental plants and wood benches by the windows. Some of the window panels are broken, and there are glass shards on the benches and floor. There's also dust spiraling in the air. The corridor doesn't seem well-kept, but hasn't been abandoned for long. This artwork was made on Krita, with help of Blender mainly for lighting reference and the background. Three character digital portrait paintings showing: - A girl with short curly brown hair. She's in 3/4, almost profile, and has thick eyebrows and a bit of full cheeks. The portrait is cropped at the shoulders height. - A Black teenager boy with his gaze locked into the horizon. He's holding his head high in an almost stately manner. - A woman with brown braided hair and doe eyes. She's gazing into the distance and the rendering style mixes brushwork with sharper transitions, being reminiscent of sculptures. An Indigenous woman emerging from a body of water. Only the top of her head down to the nose are visible. There's a dark forest behind her, and she's staring directly at the viewer with fixed intensity that suggests she might not be friendly. She's surrounded by stylized aquatic plants including Amazon's vitória-régias, a type of water lily. Insects are buzzing around and the reflection of the sky can be seen on the water. The scene's colors are very saturated, but somewhat dark and ominous. She's Iara. Her legend is a mess, an attempt by colonizers to make sense of older Tupi and Guarani myths. In it she's the daughter of the Pajé, the spiritual leader of her people, and was known for her beauty and fighting prowess, respected by her father, beloved by all. One night her brothers, deeply envious of her, set up an ambush. She fought back and accidentally killed them in the ensuing scuffle. Severely wounded and afraid of her father's punishment, Iara fled to the margins of the Negro and Solimões rivers (which feed the great Amazon river), but was found and thrown into it, drowning. The fishes took pity on her, and under the full moon they turned her into a mermaid. Then the once fearsome warrior... apparently decided to sit on a rock, brush her hair and sing (and lure and drown men) like European sirens, hah.

Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm!

For those of you wondering what to say here are two posts you can use to build your own script (use alt script to cut and paste)

Need to find your representatives? Here you go:
5calls.org
User Zachary Berger recommends the following script: "I'm a constituent in the congressperson's district. Al regulation is life or death for a lot of the Congressperson's constituents in creative industries, please make sure the section in the budget reconciliation bill banning Al regulation doesn't pass." User Karla Ortiz gives information on the bill so you can point your senators where to look: Call your representatives! Tell them just yesterday (R) Congressman Guthrie added a new text to the Budget Reconciliation bill to BAN GenAi regulation in the states for 10 years! Hell, point them to the specific section: TITLE IV-ENERGY AND COMMERCE (Part II: Al section, (c) moratorium)

the BDS requests on microsoft are extremely clear and also targeted. they aren't "uninstall windows now and change your entire life," they aren't even a huge ask for games media outside of like exclusive world of warcraft streamers. there is no reason for the near total silence other than shame

Wait.
Just found out that the CEO of Gumroad now works at DOGE? And that he saved up loads of money 'cause he fired everyone and replaced them with AI?
I'm leaving the platform as soon as I get my money. Jesus christ.
