Found a dead snake while hiking today which bummed me out, but later found this guy in the middle of the trail, looking like a rock, far from any water. Grabbed him up and hiked him over to a pond where I know the snappers live. Godspeed little fella.

🔥 Warner Bros is suing Midjourney!🔥
They've cited mine and Gary's work like in the other suit, including that I was banned for criticizing the company.
This now means Midjourney is being sued by Warner Bros, Disney, Universal, and the class action from artists.
Let's gooo! 🔥

Wanna know what's even funnier, the CEO of Midjourney David Holz has basically the same look, could be brothers.

The Showrunner AI people say it's NOT just a tool, it's a competitor, and that pencils don't stand up and write by themselves.
This is what artists have been saying, but used as pro-AI marketing. It's the quiet part out loud, and quite frankly, probably good evidence in court.

Stumbled across a turkey and her two poults in the woods today. They weren't bothered by us at all, we walked alongside them for a few minutes while mom picked berries, it felt like Jurassic Park.
Later I saw one fly 50 feet up into a tree. I couldn't believe it, there were others up there too, lol

These frames couldn't exist without all the hard work filmmakers and VFX artists do. Blatant plagiarism and infringement. 🧵

The CEO of RunwayML has previously blocked me because of these types of criticisms, but I'd love for him to explain why he's ripping off existing movies for their AI products. Is one class action lawsuit not enough?🧵

Exactly this. I have lots of examples of where it basically shifts it into some form of 3-point portrait lighting to gloss it up. They have a rating system to help them tune their models, and it's clear the people ranking them gravitate towards generic, safe lighting with punched up details.

Explain why it spits out endless copyrighted material with the word "screencap" when none was specified.

We have to sedate one of our cats for his vet appointments and once it kicks in, he just walks from room to room and looks at stuff for 5 minutes at a time.

Normally I don't post random snapshots from hikes, but the light here was too beautiful not to share.

One of my older neighbors flagged me down and asked if I had one of "those phones that can identify plants." I was like, yup, and he walks me over to a bunch of these under a tree. He was so excited, haha.

I think Twitter is desperate for revenue. They started putting 'Promote' buttons on posts not long ago to get you to pay them to boost your tweets, and now they're flashing an ugly golden banner. It feels so scammy and low rent, lol.

Hey Hanna, I just got one of the scam messages, I saw this happen to someone else before as well, I posted about it to warn people. They were able to get their account back, but it took a while. Maybe shoot him a message or email, he might have some insight for you on how to go about it.

If you don't want White Castle to train AI on your voice, they make you wait on a cool down timer to order from a human. They will intentionally make your life more difficult if you don't hand over your data.

As the AI discourse heats up, I recommend people familiarize themselves with the concept of "sealioning" and disengaging with said individuals the second you recognize it.
![The sealioner feigns ignorance and politeness while making relentless demands for answers and evidence (while often ignoring or sidestepping any evidence the target has already presented), under the guise of "just trying to have a debate",[5][6][8][11] so that when the target is eventually provoked into an angry response, the sealioner can act as the aggrieved party, and the target presented as closed-minded and unreasonable.[7][12][13] Another maneuver of sealioning is the "Just Asking Questions" tactic, which frames false or misleading statements in the form of questions.[14][15] Sealioning has been described as "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate".[9] Sealioning can be performed by an individual or by a group acting in concert.[16]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4g5pnsava5vgpemrf5hewt56/bafkreifmuct6xmwo2absqt6nlbq4p3y7ls6wnds5yu6p2473uvu6qzw7r4@jpeg)
