It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Altman claims the company didn’t anticipate people not wanting their deepfakes to say “offensive things or things that they find deeply problematic,” which sounds like a lie but is also indicative of how they recklessly release tech into the world.

OpenAI wasn’t expecting Sora’s copyright drama

It felt “more different to images than people expected.”

Our lovingly-rendered Fallen London Arcana joins the re-designed Individual of Mysterious and Indistinct Gender shirt, available in sizes up to 5X!

Presale for pre-Christmas delivery: gametee.co.uk/collections/...

A heather black t-shirt bearing an ornately-lettered phrase: "An Individual of Mysterious and Indistinct Gender"

Five tarot cards, illustrated in the Ryder-Waite style: The Hierophant, The Star, The Moon, Justice and The World. Bold, vintage colours and black linework. The Hierophant is a priest, tangled in branches. The Star is a half crustacean, half baby. The Moon is a man in a brass-buttoned jacket, welcoming you to a hotel. Justice is a police constable, illuminating the crumbling pillars of justice. The World is a mountain.

Bloomberg research found wholesale electricity up ~270% in areas near data centers

It doesn't seem like nearly enough people are taking it seriously

One A.I. image isn't too much energy, but 5 million videos? Per day/hour/minute whatever. It's not sustainable

www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

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

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

0 issues in 12 years:

- Make sure your Paypal is a business account
- USE INVOICES
- call it "digital commission"
- include product use, turnaround time, and refund policies in ToS field
- uncheck "ship items to address"

Don't get owned for negligence & rulebreaking.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal]

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

Dear Caine,

It’s me, Vyncent.

I really wanna use my Pet Malkavian in an Actual Play with someone as weird as me. Together, we can make the audience question why they keep watching.
