Gonna try to be more active here; over the past month I've been streaming pretty regularly over on twitch.tv/fredomakes, and even have a VOD channel for all the streams (youtube.com/@FredoMakesVODs)! I mainly do gaming there, but also dabble in some art. Either way, a fun time to yap with chat!

Welcome to my channel! I'm a casual streamer that usually broadcasts art or games. I love talking with chat while I draw or play, so drop by and say hello!

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people
no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

The upcoming Hogwarts Legacy 2 could potentially feature more characters from the Harry Potter books and movies.

Riding the high from some very constructive and successful playtests from my first game, now I'm preparing another game with a system I've been dying to write about. Since it's not an adaptation from already established work, I don't have to worry about licensing or anything!

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.
Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

If we're gonna defend ourselves against AI and make a case for our value as artists, we're not allowed to talk shit about our own work anymore. Advocate for you by first reminding yourself that you're fucking talented and incredible, even if you don't *feel* like you are every day or every drawing.

Reading has become one of those pass times in which I feel no guilt indulging. Playing video games, for whatever reason, makes me feel like I'm being unproductive, but reading has me hooked again, and I love it.
