Spreadshirt to artists: We’re taking your designs for AI

Spreadshirt is an online print-on-demand store. You can sell T-shirts and mugs and so on. My wife Arkady Rose is an artist as well as a musician, and had a pile of designs on Spreadshirt and Redbub…

Writing hand-optimized implementations of the C standard library's routines for the Sega #Dreamcast's SH4, because the implementations we get from Newlib are using slow bit arithmetic on a platform with a baller FPU... ain't nobody got time!

I'm sad to see a lot of artists I know saying it's super hard to get sales. And it really is. So I wanna promote them here again.

Go check them out and buy or tip them if you can. This is the non-US shops list but I'll post other lists as well.

Oni @onidraws.bsky.social · Sep 11

I made a pack for non-US artists shops!
Let me know if you want to be added (with a shop link) or removed!

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

So now people are having their access to PayPal cut off if there is “commission” or other buzzwords that these companies are using to exclude NSFW creators. And it’s catching ALL CREATORS. REGARDLESS adult art is LEGAL TO SELL. Payment companies making it impossible to sell art is utter bullshit.

ANGLICISMO DEL DÍA

Ahora, todo se abraza, como si fuera un amigo: hay que «abrazar el cambio», «abrazar tu condición», hasta «abrazar las malas noticias».

Se trata de una mala traducción del término inglés EMBRACE, que significa ‘aceptar, asumir, acoger o hacer propio algo’.

Ni el Ministerio de Cultura ni los sindicatos «mayoritarios» cumplen con su responsabilidad de defender los derechos de los trabajadores. Sus discursos son solo una pantomima condescendiente hacia el sector creativo, un desprecio hacia la cultura y hacia todas las personas que la hacen posible.

Then, after Kimmel, I talked about the new era of corporate media capitulation to the Trump administration.

How these giant media conglomerates are appeasing the political right, motivated by the larger structure of the market and the FCC.

Parasitar a un artista: descripción gráfica. La IA generativa les viene como anillo al dedo a los plagiadores seriales carentes de escrúpulos que explotan obras ajenas y las publican y/o comercializan como propias, vanagloriándose en la sustitución de los artistas reales. ¡BASTA!

Pablo Aparicio / PAR Virtual @parpatrimonio.bsky.social · 5d

Varios usuarios de Twitter (@ForgottenHrs y @GrecorromanoYT, en este caso) nos están robando ilustraciones para crear supuestos personajes históricos en 3D pasándoles un filtro de IA. Además, presentan las imágenes finales como trabajos propios. Juzgad vosotros mismos.👇
