Inktober sets completely unrealistic expectations regarding output. Making a complete inked drawing in one day EVERY day for a month is insane and a recipe for burnout. Don’t tie your worth to something that even professionals believe is unrealistic.

Didn't we agreed to stop romanticing Inktober a couple of years ago bc the guy running It was terrible and the trend glorifies art as content, or what happened

The irony of spending an insane amount of money just to try and save a little bit of money

The more we learn about genAI the more we discover how useless it actually is

Reid Southen @rahll.bsky.social · 21d

Surprise surprise, I've been saying this for years.

Article, movie studio Lionsgate is struggling to make AI generated films with partner Runway, their catalog is too small, even Disney's is too small.

My new place is taking so long to get settled into because this is the most mouse poop I've ever had to clean up in my life

Also the previous residents had a kid and the whole place smells like rotting diapers and I need to figure out where that's coming from because it's so nasty

Hey internet hive mind! I'm thinking very far ahead for a christmas gift for a family member:

Cajun seasoning mix

I want to find a really legit, straight from the south, ideally small business or individual maker type source, but with flavors that will knock your socks off. Recommendations??

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.

moving twice in a span of two months is still crazy though, do not recommend. I plan to live the most boring life for the rest of 2025

Dude I'll have to DM you or message you on discord, it's all so exhausting and ridiculous

Beth B. @bethanybergart.bsky.social · Jul 25

I currently have no access to internet at home (for dumb reasons) and might not until September. It's going to be a long August.

This is also an apology for not having any new art to share for a while, we'll get there soon

Beth B. @bethanybergart.bsky.social · Jul 18

I wish I could share all the insanity going on re: my current living situation but it feels a bit too sensitive to throw on the internet..... but just know that jesus fucking christ some people truly are a mess and will blame everyone instead of taking accountability

SEPTEMBER I'LL BE FREE

New goodies from the glaze team!

Glaze and Nightshade @theglazeproject.bsky.social · Jul 12

Update thread #2. Hemlock
One thing we worked on is a different tool to complement Nightshade. We discovered a new attack on diffusion models that is more generalizable than Nightshade. It targets an entirely different part of AI training pipeline, basically making AI models poison themselves.

As someone who has benefited greatly from Medicaid coverage this scares the shit out of me.

I'm already trying to plan how quickly I can get a certain minor surgery squeezed in, just in case I get kicked off...

ACLU @aclu.org · Jul 2

The Senate just voted to strip Medicaid away from millions of people across the country.

There's no time to waste — tell your Representatives to protect our health care and save Medicaid.

Congress: Save Medicaid Now

Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

I've heard of some studios avoiding genAI entirely because of the copyright issue! They decided it's too legally dicey and don't want the risk
