steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

Oh my god I was just looking up camera stuff and ran across on article on a particular model that the subhead was “Is This the Best Camera for Women?” And I wanted to throw something at the screen.

The eyeroll felt round the world occurred.

Yikes.

I have been chipping away at this little wip, seeing as I’ve been in a very skyship forward mood from thoroughly loving Cloudward, Ho!, so enjoy the crunchiest screenshot.

Well art challenges turned out to be a bit of a no go for me the past two months *shocking I know*

Oh well! Worth a shot and fun while they lasted - lately I have felt the overwhelming urge to play with watercolors so that might be in order soon.

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

Speed drawing before I leave the house because I find myself wholly unprepared for Peachtober! Hopefully this dries in time I can add color, otherwise day 1 might be getting a version update later and when posted today may look suspiciously similar to this 😆

Covid is a social justice issue, especially now that governments have abandoned us in favour of “you do you” policies that leave the vulnerable by the wayside

Wearing a mask is a form of resistance

It protects your health & the health of your community

It says you don’t view others as expendable

I need the technology to advance to where I can have an Apple Pencil/Wacom nib that feels like a fountain pen. The joy I would experience.

I got halfway through drawing a tomato and was like none of this looks right, do I know what a tomato looks like? I, in fact, did not. Reference is an amazing thing.

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.
OpenAI confirms they're helping make an AI-generated movie called 'Critterz'

• Goal is to finish production in 9 months
• Budget is ~$30M
• Plan is to debut the film at Canne
• 'Paddington 3' writers penned the script
• Art will be fed into Chat GPT 5 and other image models

being a grownup is just saying “ok,” out loud to yourself, right before you do anything

because you’re trying to convince yourself that it will be ok

sometimes it takes several ok’s before you can actually do the thing
