realized I never posted the semi finished version of this (aka I gave up months ago and will not in fact ever finish it)

Halfbody sketch of Ado's D&D OC, Lazarus, a Forlarren (half satyr, half tiefling). He is standing facing the viewer, slightly looking down at them while frowning. Hair covers his right eye. He is mostly brown/ginger/cream in color scheme, with his outfit mainly a white/blue with gold trim and semi astral themes.

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

Hi, for those who don't know, it doesn't matter one single iota if your project is "free". You do not have the rights to use art you find and distribute it. That's literally what licensing is for.
Your circumstance and goal has nothing to do with whether you are allowed to use anyone's art.

Screencap from reddit.

"sorry I caught you off guard with the post. In the dnd homebrew space it isn't standard practice to gen in contact with artists for incorporation their work, provided that they are adequately credited and that the homebrew work is available for free, both of which are the case here."

One of the wildest issues AI creates is that it makes people who shouldn't do things they don't understand, do those exact things believing they understand.

guy in a legal advice reddit wants to know how to get out of paying google the money he owes them after vibe coding one of his apps into running 40 times a second for several days straight, but says it's not his fault bc they should have stopped him by making it harder to use

Google want to charge me 7 k for API access what can I do as they are denying appeals
Debt & Money
Hi there and thanks for reading.
I tried to keep this brief and just ended up rambling on trying to get as much in as possible so here is my edited hopefully a lot smaller problem.
Google are charging me 7k for a mistake that I told them about within a day, the bill went from about £45 to 16k in a day! when I asked for help I was told "dont worry well reset it as a one off, you'll need to put measures in place and ill guide you through those after you agree" So i did he then said "I will monitor it for a further 24 - 48 hours and then tell you how to put the measures in place. " Less than 24 hours later the bill was now 23k and I found out how to stop it myself. Then came the long back and forth to get it reset.
Fast forward 5 months they have finally given me a 20k credit but with VAT the total bill at the time of the credit was 27k
The 20k would have cleared the costs at the time of making them aware they claim its both our responsibilities to monitor costs I feel I did that by contacting them as soon as I saw the irregularity.
I asked them to reconsider they said no the appeal has said that is their final offer so 1 now owe 7k.
Is there anything I can do here from a legal standpoint. I don't have 7k I barely have £45.
Thanks for reading I am in England if it helps.

Intentional or not, OP used either 36k (16 + 20) or 43k (16 + 27) of API credit. Obviously what API it is matters, but with google maps, 16k would equate to ten million pulls. Or two hundred thousand Gemini 2.5 calls with 1000 token input and 5k token output.
Those aren't numbers that something running correctly should run up for any average person or company. So either google screwed up something (which is unlikely that it would only happen to one person in the entire network) or OP has some app or something which isn't running properly and is sending too much to the API.
Edit: It was OP's app, polling google maps nearly 40 times a second for days.

tom_watts • 3d
According to other posts he ended up polling Google maps direction API 2300 times per minute for a few days. Looks like a combination of OP not knowing coding and asking ChatGPT to do it for him, and potentially Google's backend doing something weird in interpreting the janky code.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Though Ryuhiko is notably larger, carrying him seems to be effortless for his husband, who shares a loving smile with him. Ryuhiko is dressed in a turquoise blue gown and golden jewelry while her husband is dressed in his usual set of dark blue armor.

It‘s for a little Tarot Project with many other artists. Njal is „The Fool“! ☺️🙌

A wip of a tarot card project with other artists. Njal is shown, holding his axe and journal. Paper is flowing out of the journal. There are still little sketches of pine trees and all that. Njal is my OC. He‘s got long wavy hair and a soft smile on his lips.
