artists please im begging you, get out, now
i _promise_ you _will_ find your people again elsewhere
there is no perfect platform, all of them have issues, but twitter is the only one i know of with a built-in plagiarism button

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Say it with me now- placeholder assets are supposed to be bright and obvious so you DON’T ship with them.
Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count”

oooh, its aphantasia awareness time again? :3
5 here. full-on, undiluted aphantasia. when i close my eyes, i see black (well mostly, but the exceptions is A Whole Thing)
no sound either, songs dont "play in my head"
when i say a song is "stuck in my head", i have an uncontrollable urge to sing it 😅

its funny being like a 4.5 on this scale. on the one hand, when I close my eyes there is no apple just the whispering darkness. and on the other there are entire religions based on making the fucking apple go away for once

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.

this ad is 38 years old and still looks good, because practical effects hold up SO much better than CGI
concrete example:
farscape (combined budget of ~$175M, 88 eps @44-50min each, roughly $45k/minute)

This commercial for French's Mustard from 1987 is equal parts charming and also kinda unsettling, but what strikes me is the work that went into the absolutely delightful puppetry and practical effects for a *mustard commercial*!! Imagine that today??

the people working on banning & censoring content dont make the distinction; you making it buys you the "useful for now" label. thats it.
its the same as trying to appear as the 'acceptable kind of queer' to anti-queer people, youre selling out your allies to temporarily appease your enemies.

As a pornographer myself, I feel... weird about creators who make distinctions between porn and other adult/sexual content. If you defend porn, your work will ALSO be defended. Don't be afraid to get down in the mud with us. You're gonna end up here anyway.
