Finally, some good news this week! We may soon have boundaries for AI in our entertainment field to protect the livelihoods of our voiceover artists!
We have reached a tentative agreement with the video game bargaining group, which includes some of the largest video game companies in the world, and we are hopeful that our video game strike will be suspended in the coming days. #SagAftraStrong ow.ly/wZzx50W6Lwv

Today marks one year since I started writing my deepest #musiccomposition for the piano. I have decided, when I finish it, I want to have it published/recorded with proceeds going to a related charity. Does anyone have experience doing something like this?

I’ve noticed if I come across a YouTube video about philosophy or psychology, I tend to turn it off immediately. I told my wife, “I would sooner seek the Dali Lama on a mountain than watch something that smells of AI.” It makes me wonder how I would view my own AI creation if I were to make Oz-N♾️.

I’m hesitant to post my original work online these days. Not because I don’t think it’ll be disliked, but because of the lack of protections against AI scrubbing. I’m not worried so much about covers or fan works, just my original work. Artists, do you experience this paranoia?

Today is the day we pick up our tools of trade and draw the line on who makes our art in our industries. This is what we have been fighting for finally making it to the steps of Congress. Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe!

My DM changed our gritty game to a nicer My Little Pony campaign. Here’s my OC’s story:
“Haunted by her past after being r**** and t******* by the evil Discord, after he m******* everypony in the castle and became ruler. Now she must take a page from his book and a**-f*** him into submission.” …

Earlier this month I got a bass ocarina through beautifulsounds.co It has such a soft, rich and soothing sound in my favorite key of E minor. It’s keyed to a pentatonic scale, but today, I experimented until I found how to play a major scale on it! It’s fun to find music like this again!

Approached by old man on a bridge with a pet squirrel, my man-bat #DndOc tried chittering at it, and it flipped him off. Later, he sensed danger and charged at the man. The squirrel was thrown at him, but he caught it. It began to grow, and in a revengeful panic, he threw it off the bridge! #TheMMM

This one truly took so long to paint ;_; I've always loved paintings with lots of tiny hidden details but couldn't work on those very often because of my hand injury. But I decided to really indulge this time.

My #DnDcharacter got upset he can’t protect his party. Then a party of 4 Kuo-Toa followed us into a temple. 3 died like hamsters, each caused by him trying to save them, and each rited by the fish priest. Finally we had to Indie J. an egg with a fish head, so he Sepheroth’d the fish priest. #TheMMM

I’m trying a #tarot challenge inspired by Nat, here. Before I did a spread, these cards fell out of the deck. A day later, I now read it as: I’ve been feeling nostalgic of a time when things were soft and secure, but now that it is no longer there, it is time to start trusting intuitive gifts.

With all the raucousness in my country’s administration (put gently), I’ve had a lot of be ideas for bumper stickers. I wonder, is that’s something worth pursuing right now?

2.5 years ago, I decided to use a series of 3-card #tarot spreads to depict the future story of my #DnDcharacter. Intuition took over and it became 20 cards. 1.5 years later, we finished that story, and today, I looked back at the spread and saw the cards (not my reading) were right on EVERYTHING.

Our #D&D party rescued a magical imp that swore to serve us. Our DM runs a sister campaign with other friends of ours. We sent our new imp friend to show up to the other party, dressed like a jester with a silly rhyme, and deliver a cypher that’s just a #rickroll . #TheMMM

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.
