We rarely post news stories, but this is a significant and impactful story from @alexreisner.bsky.social @ the atlantic, detailing just how Common Crawl is scraping the internet for AI companies and accepting takedown requests but doing nothing: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
The Nonprofit Doing the AI Industry’s Dirty Work
Common Crawl claims to provide a public benefit, but it lies to publishers about its activities.

When it comes to Japan's APA Hotels, you can’t separate the man from his creation. The founder’s extreme political views and aggressive business tactics have significantly shaped the hotel’s image, adding a complex new layer to its identity and branding.
More Than a Budget Stay: The Controversy Behind Japan's APA Hotels - Unseen Japan
APA Hotels in Japan are ubiquitous and affordable. Behind the cheap prices lies an aggressive business strategy and war crimes denialism.

Final fantasy 9 is the one game I could never quite move on from. I've played it so many times since I was a child and it still holds up for me.

A view of a railway bridge in winter. Snow lies by the interestingly curved fence railings. A clear blue sky indicates dawn or dusk.

Listen bro, you can create a little and you did something. You can create nothing, take care of your mental, rest, and you did something. Imagine, envision. It builds toward the ultimate goal of finishing something. Sometimes, this shit is slow and agonizing. Just do what you can when you can.

some recent illustrations 🐈‍⬛
cartoony digital illustration of a traffic mirror. reflected in the mirror is a neighborhood crosswalk and a black cat is crossing the street. It’s a daytime scene and there are trees in the bg of the telephone pole same illustration as the previous one but at night time. instead of a cat, there are black ghost like figures with white halos. they have green eyes staring back at you

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Grim Reaper [ 1 ]
Part 1 or 2.
First panel of a blue-hued comic where the Grim Reaper / Death, hodling a scythe, with a crow on their shoulder, is looking for a deceased soul under the moniker of the Hound knight. The Hound Knight calls to the Grim Reaper and their crow companion from off-screen. A cute white dog in armor with two arrows sticking out of his body says he is the Hound Knight. He speaks using Japanese Kaomojis (such as this (￣ω￣) ) to punctuate his sentences. Hound Knight asks if the Grim Reaper is looking for him.

Hey artists! I’m looking for some advice on handling sales and products. Do you make your own stuff or order from suppliers?

I’m thinking about things like stickers, buttons, prints, plushies, etc. If you DIY, what equipment do you use? If you order, what services do you recommend?

"Nurture" The image shows a room with a woman sitting in the center holding a sleeping fawn. The woman has ginger hair and wears a red and pink dress and has big decorated head piece around her head. There are arched windows behind her and two cages. One cage is empty and another one has red snakes and a pale pink heart inside. The heart is floating above the snakes. There are three skeletons in the image. Two are on both sides of the woman and one is sitting on the ground reaching towards a deer. The floor is covered with roses and there are two deer on the floor. There are long blue columns on both sides of the image with pink snakes curling around the columns. There are two large skeletons on both sides of the image. They have the same hair as the woman and have snakes curling through their ribs. Red hearts float above them. The artwork is mostly blue and pink with some red accents. "Nuptial Rites". The illustration shows a wedding ceremony. There's a woman in the left side of the image. She wear a headpiece decorated with flowers and holds a large egg in her arms. There are stairs leading to an elevated stage with musicians playing lute on both sides of the stage. There's a skeleton in a festive clothes riding a white horse in the center of the image. There are festive robes behind them. The room is decorated with tiles and there are two roosters in front of the stage. There are some poppy flowers in the foreground. The artwork is colorful with much red, blue and beige. "The Duel" The image shows a scene with bright towers, Jinn that looks like a skeleton, the Queen and the angel from my previous illustration "Angel's Whisper" and chessboard floor with chess piece on it. The story is about the Jinn who can duplicate themselves to play mind games with the Queen. There are mirrors in the middle ground showing intrusive thoughts to hurt the Queen. One image shows the angel stabbing the Queen, second one shows the Jinn kissing the angel, another image shows the angel become a skeleton and the last image shows the Jinn try on Queen's crown. The Queen and the Jinn in their material form are facing each other. The Queen is holding a sword and the Jinn is riding a bright red horse. The floor looks like chessboard with red and blue chess pieces. The artwork has a frame stylized in a similar way as the towers in the background. The artwork is mostly dark with green, blue and red accents. "Angel's Whisper". The image shows a room decorated with tiles and murals with a pool in the foreground. There's a queen sitting in on the throne in the center of the image. There's an angel standing next to her closely. There are two white peacocks in the room and two swans swimming in the pool. The artwork is mostly grey-blue.
