Beta testing Flashes for Bluesky (the Bluesky alternative to Instagram).

Like how familiar & intuitive this is.

This is a preview of a headless, decentralized, open source content management system that we’re designing & developing. We’re building it on the Django framework. More details to come.

For those interested, you can track the growing BlueSky user analytics here. Pretty encouraging to see how it’s growing by 3.8 users per second. 😬

The Venn diagram of AI tech bros cosplaying as wannabe comic artists, Tesla/Musk aficionados, and incel white supremacist gamers, is a damn circle ⭕️

Also, this is a wild-ass take on the casting of Mr. Terrific.
Al ArtProdigy | @aiartprodigy: While Ed Gathegi looks impressive as Mr. Terrific in the new 'SUPERMAN' preview, it's worth questioning if this casting choice is just another example of Hollywood's obsession with diversity quotas over character authenticity. Mr. Terrific, traditionally depicted as a genius inventor with a background that's deeply rooted in his own unique story, might be losing some of his original essence to fit modern casting trends. Is this really about representation, or are we seeing a dilution of beloved characters to appease current social narratives? 9:01 AM • 12/20/24 • 23K Views Al ArtProdigy | @aiartprodigy Crafting the Unseen with Al & Creativity | Digital artist crafting surreal worlds & futuristic aesthetics with Al Artist | United States | Joined September 2023

The call for public input & criticism, only to immediately reverse that call-to-action, locking down any capacity for transparent public input & criticism, seems fairly on brand for the NYT

For some reason we were added to an AI block list on here. Not sure why, since we’re adamantly against AI, for ethical reasons. Not sure if someone saw the “AI” mention in our profile, but there is a 🚫 preceding it, which is supposed to imply we’re against it. If that’s not clear, maybe this is…👇🏾
Colorcubic - Initially, we considered utilizing various Al tools & resources to help augment our creative service offerings; but in 2024, upon further evaluation, we've determined there are serious ethical & liability considerations, to the point that we simply cannot justify their continued use in a professional and/or for-profit manner, (specifically as it pertains to GANs, VQGANs, and any other image generator models that are trained on the unauthorized use of artists' work). Colorcubic - We value human talent, and the time it takes to cultivate the skills to be able to make a career from that determination & time investment. It would be weird if we didn't, considering we're a small business comprised of designers & creative problem solvers who set out to acquire these creative problem-solving skills, through rigorous trial & error, and nonrefundable time-investment to master these acquired skills. In short, we have an ethical & moral obligation to not participate in what is essentially creative theft at the hands of many Al startups that simply chose to steal from artists, rather than ask permission to utilize their work to train their for-profit Al models. Colorcubic - With all that said, we will continue to educate ourselves to stay apprised of how these Al technologies work, to better offer consultation for their intended use-case, and to determine if & how these Al tools & resources can be ethically applied. The Al tools & resources we'll continue to study in a strictly academic manner are the following (*please note, this list is subject to change): • ChatGPT: a Generative Pre-trained Transformer Al tool, used for natural language processing & conversation modeling. • DALL-E 2: a Vector Quantized Generative Adversarial Network Al tool, used for generating images from textual descriptions. • Midjourney: a CNN, RNN, GAN, and GPT Al tool, used to generate images from textual descriptions. • Runway: an Al tool that utilizes VQGAN, StyleGAN, DeepLab, RunwayML, and PoseNet for animation & character-rigging.
