The idea of the IDF using royalty free assets (meant to help artists build out scenes for concept art etc) for genocide is so sickening.

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.

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

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

IF YOU ARE GERMAN, YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR MEPs AND DEMAND THEY OPPOSE CHAT CONTROL

-RIGHT-
-NOW-

the link below contains individual emails and everything, PLEASE do not sleep on this!

Tuta @tuta.com · 7d

We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

Signalapp on X: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a
catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled
opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could
spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

But really do not let this moment pass you up, call your reps and beat them over the head with evidence that ID verification will lead to uncontrollable sensitive information leaks and identity theft

but no women or child ghosts, otherwise it'd imply harm against women or children, so... men and gender-ambiguous ghosts only?

I was on a vc with some other artists and we had the thought "what if we tried to doodle sexy watto" and all it took was 4 artists posting to bluesky seemingly independently of one another for dozens of people to join in and for it to become trending. I think artists have more pull than they realize

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Oh god, it’s worse. This is Open Ai dictating to the studios they can “opt out” of OUTPUTS. This isn’t even about the training, as Open Ai thinks it’s all theirs to use for free.

The hubris of these thieves is just obscene. I can’t see them not getting sued for this, it’s just that ridiculous.
