I make stuff sometimes and post rarely. Oh yeah, I stream on YouTube under the same name sometimes too.

Built my R-Gray1, this kit is so cool even without having anything meaningful that moves on the finished build itself. My camera certainly doesn't capture it but there are panel lines covering almost the entire kit and man are they crisp! RayStorm is a great game, too!

Artists in this day and age are so respectable..
Even if you're a beginner and just starting, even if all you can manage are stick figures; you already possess so much more artistic integrity than those who turn to using AI.
I think as a community we should encourage beginner artists more.

Just a bit of salt (maybe hot take, they don't even need salt if they're particularly good fries but just a little wouldn't hurt) but if I *have* to put something other than salt on them, absolutely some gravy and fresh cheese curds because Poutine slaps!
ketchup isn’t available, what are you putting on your fries?

"AI" was always branding created to oversell the product and now genAI has poisoned the brand irrevocably for non-generatives.
If you're doing ML, CV, whatever... call it ML, CV, whatever.
If you're doing game behavior systems... call it Behavior Systems.
If you're doing genAI, go jump in a lake.

I really recommend reading the whole thing, this is fantastic and covers a lot of ground
We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images.
The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Remember, NO HATE WATCHING. A view is a view no matter if you're watching to laugh or mock it, don't give them anything attention unless it's calling them out online!!
Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.

Lego Mech I built right after I found Mobile Frame Zero and designed after the Union Flag from Gundam 00 since I had also just built mine iirc. The ranged weapon of the Banner attaches to a part on the waist much like the Flag but it has a shield that can be mounted on the side of the forearm.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
