🔴CALLING ALL ARTISTS🔴

Christie's NYC is planning an AI art auction expected to bring in over $600,000 to creators who've used models trained on copyrighted material from non-consenting artists.

If you object to this, please sign and share this open letter.

openletter.earth/cancel-the-c...
8 February 2025 Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez Christie’s, New York Dear Nicole and Sebastian, We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christie’s. Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them. Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companies’ mass theft of human artists’ work. We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction. Yours sincerely, The undersigned artists

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

As a cause near and dear to my heart as someone who is training to be a librarian, there is a school librarian who was given NO budget by her district for her kids to have books this year. Consider donating a book from her wishlist. The cheapest on there are just a little over $3.00!
Check out my list on Amazon

Day 22! Let his face reflect that then. Let it not be his own any longer. He looked up at the masks that overlooked the dressing rooms. Comedy and tragedy. He could not weep anymore tears at his tragedy, so let him laugh instead.

A sepia-filtered digital portrait sketch of ShaniceTJN's OC -- Azrael. He has a quiff with the tips highlighted in a lighter colour and he is sporting a neatly trimmed beard. His right eye is blue and slightly glowing while his left eye is blind. Azrael is looking intently to his right.

I first sculpted the Black Rabbit back in 2008. A few years later, the collector who bought it paid me to make a diorama for him, so I made a scene where Fiver has a vision of Hazel, Bigwig, and the other rabbits of WD reuinted in Inlé as the Black Rabbit’s Owsla. Sculpey Firm. #art #sculpture
A sculpture of an anthropomorphic black rabbit with red eyes, human arms and torso, and an elongated lean body. He is wearing a loincloth and a necklace that is a rabbit skull. The anthropomorphic rabbit is holding a much smaller rabbit by the scruff of the neck with one of his enormous hands. His profile faces to the right, while the smaller rabbit appears to be either looking out at the viewer, or may be dead. Diorama sculpture that includes the same anthropomorphic black rabbit presenting the smaller rabbit to five other medium sized rabbits who surround the large rabbit. They also have red eyes and black fur. A gray, dead, bare, scraggly tree grows on the rocks that all of the rabbits gather on. Detail view of the large rabbit presenting the small rabbit to the medium rabbits. Detail view of the scraggly tree, which is painted in grays, browns and blacks. It is worn and pale, like a tree long dead and smoothed by the elements and time.

Day 21! He wandered around backstage purposelessly, noting how eerie the place seemed there in the dark. But he had nothing to fear, not from this place and not from anyone else outside it. He was just now another shadow to fill up the night.

Day 20! “Can’t leave me now,” Kendrick told him. “Who else are you going to waste your Sunday nights talking long-distance to?”

“I can think of a few people…”

“Phone sex operators don’t count.”

“Damn. Guess I’m stuck with you for a while longer.”

Day 19! (True story: my mom actually did this once!)

How he’d been an absolutely terrible cook. He’d literally burned water once, putting so little of it into the pot that most of it evaporated and left the remnants sizzling until smoke appeared.

Day 18!“Unfortunately, those are no longer options for me.” There was something heavy and final about the way he said all that, something which told Michelle there was a story behind those words but not one he was willing to share with her.

Day 17! He staggered and turned to the side as blood spurted out around the injury, looking almost more surprised at the sudden betrayal from Anton than he was at being dealt a fatal blow. Anton reached and pulled the knife out.

Day 16! "It’s happened before, you know, at least according to these texts. An angry soul that cannot rest gets brought back from the dead. They will not move on until all those who were responsible for their death are punished.”

Day 15! All Kendrick was focused on at this point was survival. He blinked some of the blood out of his eyes as he saw something—no, someone appear from the shadows beyond the area lit up by the streetlamps.

Day 14! Suddenly, this didn’t seem like just magic woo-woo mumbo jumbo he was spouting off. When he looked down, he saw a strange pictograph tattoo on Anton’s arm just below his wrist. It was some sharp-beaked bird done all in black ink.

Day 13! Suddenly, Anton whirled on him, grabbing him by the arm and holding him there tight. “Do not laugh in the face of what’s coming for you. Your death waits in the wings and she hears you. You’ll die by the element of air.”
