Hello, I'm Majd. I'm writing to you today after the war ended, from the rubble of our home in Gaza. They took everything: our home, our work, and our dreams. We now live in a tent, trying to live with dignity. Your support through GFM is our only hope to start over. 💔

i just wanted to draw her in a suit again

Colored fullbody sketch of the artist's original character Sabine. She is wearing a dark red suit with low cleavage and wide leg pants, only the tips of her black heels visible. Her long blonde hair falls in curls over her shoulders and she has her arms at her sides, smiling coyly as she looks to the viewer's right. A pink rectangle with little white hearts serves as the background behind her.

People will try to excuse/defend the chuds by saying they've just watched too much porn but I'm a dyke who watches porn all the time and don't have this problem. Chuds do this because forcing every woman into their ideal sex doll aesthetic is the power fantasy.

The Serfs (youtube.com/theserfstv) @theserfstv.bsky.social · 4d

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

Going to share this post from @jgsseeerd41.bsky.social as a screenshot w/ the link to the family fundraiser as the video shows more of the baby than is safe for her (creepers be creeping & I want the family protected from those people). Donate and share. www.muslimgiving.org/arfat

Screenshot includes a freeze frame from a video of a baby in Gaza with a large abdominal sore, with a watermelon digital sticker overlying where the baby’s vagina is visible on the original video. There is skin irritation on the inside thigh of the other leg as well, which is what the mother was trying to show.

Post says: “literally, my child will die if we don’t quickly save [her] life with emergency surgery. I am poor, I have no money, and I don’t want to lose my child. I beg you and implore you to save my child. The story is on the donations page. Donate via the link.” After that, the same link provided in my post is displayed. Please click the link in my post to navigate to the donations page to help this poor family.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it 'the future'. AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

double chins come in all shapes and sizes but i think it’s pretty tricky to find any sort of stylized references of them so, for incredibly niche purposes or if anyone wants to step up their face shape game, I’ve compiled artwork of my oc rina & her double chins in various styles

my oc rina and some close up shots of her face by various artists, all showcasing her double chins

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.

if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process:
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people
