Fellow artists beware of job listings or recruiters from a group posing as Blinkmoon. Preying on hopeful artists in this job climate is disgusting. Don't let them waste your time.

More details in OPs thread.
ITS A SCAM. THE JOB IS A SCAM.
Jfc this is so targeted. Recruiting emails. A nice website & game sample on Steam. Interview focusing on storyboarding skills. Portfolio review. Official employment letter. Onboarding emails across two days. Then they hit me with wanting me to cash a check. 😫

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

My fellow Europeans, I'm once again asking you to write or call your EU representatives and tell them this is unacceptable. They're essentially selling our sensitive data to companies, effectively destroying our privacy and risking our digital well-being.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

Great, now we can half-watch slop that no human hands made and leave comments that no human hands typed! More interactions! More number go up! Who cares what's on the screen, just click! Numbers! Automated interactions! The internet is a dead chorus of bots singing for bots!
Youtube now has a feature where I can AI generate replies to comments like a Facebook boomer birthday message and the fact they suggest that I would send anyone a reply that starts with "I mean" is the angriest AI has made me yet

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

"no negative attitudes allowed!" rule cements the already annoying trend of only being supportive of mental health issues/disorders/nd when we're cute and quirky, not difficult, and haven't reached the point of being an inspirational gimmick. This is toxic positivity and ableist in itself.

I repeat, this is not a mental health platform. It puts expectations on the platform and the communities that don't belong here, and an absolutely inappropriate expectation of responsibility of its users, how we present ourselves, interact with each other, or not interact, what we share, or refuse

In addition to the glaring art/nsfw issue, I really do not approve of the implications and expectations that come with "Stories about mental health, but ONLY if it's about healing and positive nicey-nice experiences."
