It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

social media is for getting a following and wider audience. Wrong. Social media is for me to find a few freaks like myself and stealth repost things I know will make them smile between my journal entries

The official upload of Everything Burns seems to be on Tom Morello's YouTube channel.

Which means that anyone who goes to listen to it gets a little ad scroll of his incredibly based merch.

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

get good

Creative solidarity means:

If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover"
If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references"
If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc.

Never help AI steal another medium

No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

I don't know why the idea of developing concept art with AI is somehow meant to convince us that AI isn't replacing creative professions, when concept art is one of the single most creative and imaginative parts of the entire development process.

This actually pisses me off so much, as someone who is building a world and conceptulizing it and working on it day after day, the most creative thing you can do is use your FUCKING BRAIN to make stuff up and not let AI create it for you.

Highly disappointed, shame on them
"I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art" just to make reference, get ideas from and outline composition lmao
just 90% of what concept is🤣

If you're truly passionate about art you will commit yourself to honing your skill and will support those who have.

Using ai just proves you're lazy and want all the benefits of a skill without any commitment to it.

THATS NOT A SKILL!

THATS NOT PASSION!

THATS NOT ART!
If you use GenAI, you’re not welcome here #NoAI
