Hey, this seems to be a legit ask, can we get her some more help than this? She's stalled at $800. No one should have to worry about paying the bills when they lost a child.
My kid was murdered back in November and I lost my job a couple weeks after that. I could really use some help getting back on my feet. If you don't have anything you can send, no worries. I don't want anybody lighting themself on fire to keep me warm.

A little warmup project to start the year. I think the 256 festival constraints (256x256 texture and 256 triangle maximum) is really cool and provides a fun challenge.

You cannot have “AI” without having “machine that almost solely exists to create nonconsensual sexually explicit images of mainly women and children.” The former exists in tandem with the latter. That’s how this industry has worked so far, and it has only gotten worse with zero accountability

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.

We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.

Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help.

I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

Drawing a line is thinking. Writing a sentence is thinking. They are inherently processes of ideation and thought.

I would argue that photo bashing is superior to AI because you still have your hands on it. You’re still making choices instead of letting something make statistically average choices for you. The point of photo bashing is not to produce something that looks pretty, it’s to solve problems.

Hi, we don’t use genAI in any phase of production ESPECIALLY CONCEPTING because doing so would defeat the purpose and role of concepting. Ok bye!
