Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Yes, forcing users to upload documents for age verification is going to end very badly.

Collecting sensitive documents, like ID is an especially bad idea.

Do not collect shit that you do not need to collect, ever.

If it's not collected it can't be leaked.

That is all.

You know what's awesome about my feed here. I can open it up any time and see real content. Real creation. Real art.

That's magical to me as I've curated my feed to only contain people that actually create the wonderful things I want to see. Also here's something we made, because I love you.

Pondcho
Wondrous item, uncommon

Some could easily mistake this colorful poncho as a novelty piece, but putting it on reveals it to be far more interesting than just a bit of costume.

While wearing this poncho, you can use a bonus action to leap up to 30 feet in any direction. If you land on a wall that isn’t slippery, you can stick to it with your feet leaving your hands free. If you are stuck to a wall when your turn begins, you can leap from it using another bonus action or choose to stay stuck in place. You can only stick to walls, not walk across them.

Additionally, if you leap onto a body of water while wearing this poncho, a lilypad will magically appear where you land. The lilypad lasts for 1 hour, or until you leave it. The lilypad can support up to 800 pounds while staying afloat.

TromBone

Now you can doot your problems away in your #Pathfinder2E campaigns. We make new items for PF2E every week. Follow us to see them as they drop!

TromBone
ITEM 7
Uncommon, Magical
Price 265 gp
Usage held in 2 hand; Bulk 1

The macabre form of this functioning trombone is composed entirely of malformed bones that are fused together in disturbing and offputting ways. The bell is composed of a long since decomposed skull that seems to always be screaming. Despite its ghastly appearance, this piece is a fully functional musical instrument. This horn grants a +1 item bonus to Performance checks while playing music with it.

Activate-Doot Doot [2] (auditory, manipulate); Frequency Twice per day; Effect You play a short tune causing two illusory skeletal figures carrying similar instruments to emerge from the ground occupying your same space. The skeletons begin to dance around you and play an oddly upbeat melody for 1 minute. The skeletons move with you when you move.

Activate-Shivers Down Your Spine [R] (auditory); Requirements You have at least one illusory skeleton still dancing around you; Trigger A creature hits you with a melee Strike; Effect One of the skeletons jumps in front of the attack and shrieks loudly. The skeleton takes 15 points of the triggering Strike’s damage while you take the rest. The skeleton then crumbles into dust and disappears.

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 EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al 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.

Exactly this. Being silent is not a protest to these people, they already want us to be gone.

What we need now is to act up, speak up and not give them a break.

We have to show the shareholders and investors just how big of a fuck up all this is

Because there won't be change until then

BlueSky does not currently have advertising or any real monetization. Doing a boycott/blackout will have absolutely no impact on them due to this, other than users who would be impacted by the censoring doing the work for them.

The real way to impact would be to post more. Trend. Make them moderate

A thing you can do to combat AI is actively sharing how much you dislike it, how you will never use it, and tell stories about how bad it is
The worse the word of mouth becomes, the more news paper articles will cover the negative sentiment, and the more their stock valuation falls

here's a reminder that discord has adopted a new arbitration policy, which means you have under 30 days to opt out of it

Opt-out. You can decline this Agreement to Arbitrate-and no other provision of these terms-by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of September 29, 2025 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, Discord also will not be bound by it and there shall be no arbitration agreement existing between you and Discord, whether under these or prior arbitration provisions. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, you may exercise your right to a trial by jury or judge, as permitted by applicable law, but any prior existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes will not apply to claims not yet filed. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, you will not be opting out of any other provision of these terms and you agree to be bound by all other provisions of these terms, which shall remain in effect as allowable by law
