That's great, but are we really going to learn anything new that MY biopic didn't cover?

It's also tiring seeing people continuously give AI space indirectly as a "gotcha!"

Stop comparing yourself to AI slop.
Stop making art trends as a direct response to viral AI posts.

I don't create "in spite of" AI; I create because I enjoy creating.

a while ago I got the flowing fabric II pack from @trueref.bsky.social and did some loose figure studies using a few shots. I ended up turning it into a fun little collage that I never posted

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

Ive been made aware that the Patreon AI Survey link going around is ID tagged and therefore, unfortunately, all of the responses through that specific link are likely going to be purged.

this link does not have the ID tag. I'm sorry to ask folks to fill it out again, but i recommend doing so.

It sure would be a shame if that survey was available to anyone who wants to share their thoughts on the matter…

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell.

It's all about AI.

They very much want to use AI.
They very much want to use your art to train AI.
They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI

Do not accept the question "But how do we pay for it?" about social programs ever again. That talking point is done forever.
