the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

I'm so glad this is all being recorded so we can show this to kids in 30 years for their history projects

I feel a bit scared for the portland frog, as an icon of their humiliation you know they'll be trying to target him in any way they possibly can

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

Discord says 70,000 users may have had their government IDs leaked in breach

The ID pics had been submitted as part of age-related appeals.

The one very basic thing I wish people would teach beginner artists more often is that perspective is not a thing you apply only to drawing buildings. You can apply it to all your "character in white background" art and it's gonna make the drawing very cool, no matter how boring the pose is.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry
