Actual artists get caught in the crossfire all the time because AI doesn't just steal art it also takes on the mistakes artists make on top of the incomprehensible mistakes AI makes all on its own.

yes a tangeant is a kind of mistake that AI makes but please if you're gonna make weeding out what is and is not AI your hobby make sure you have a lot more to go on before you even consider saying anything.

just saw a youtube short talking about how tangeants are a clear indicator of AI usage and just..... *deep beleaguered sigh* a tangeants is a super common, super easy mistake that actual artists make all the time. you could probably comb through my work and find plenty.

Cohost screenshot doodlemancy @doodlemancy 7 hr. ago the script at this point is just company: we're going to do something really extremely bad for our customers and possibly even people who aren't our customers. we think this is good an enormous, furious internet mob: we hate this company: we'd like to clarify our intentions. just to be clear: we're doing the same thing but we'd like you to hate it a little less now

Discord delaying the age verification and saying they'll vet partners is really the perfect example of:

May your new tool expand your art's horizons!

A male, dark blue Hrothgar, donning the job of a ninja. He is currently ninja running with his arms stretched back while holding enchanted kunai next to a barricade of sand bags and wood supports in the war torn plains of what remains of the Bozja Southern Front. He is dressed in a olive green heavy battle-dress comprised of a coat, a light chain-link undershirt, thick leather arm gloves with covers on the elbow and knuckles, green jungle camo patterned pants, a half face mask with holes to distort their voice and boots with steel coverings on the top.

"Slipped in unnoticed. Intel's good. Can confirm, Commander Basaljen. We have a window opening to strike Castrum Lacus Litore. They have PoWs, ours. Recommend ninjas with the strike force. They'll save the others. Me? I have a target to kill on the inside. Personal."

Watching Star Trek TNG and they just casually dropped an episode that's a refutation of fascist rhetoric.

Just, a prime time TV slot saying "Witch hunts are bad. Villains dress as patriots. The preservation of the rights of one is the preservation of all rights."

TV seriously used to be better.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

"I want to support the artists" isn't even a valid reason to go to so-called blockbusters at the theater anymore. The studios don't even want to support the artists. The artists are just another roadblock between them and an optional fifth bathroom on the CEO's brand new yacht.

"Stupid babies need the MOST attention!"

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

Its not supposed to generate revenue that goes into some rich asshole's bank account.

Remember that as republicans try to dismantle the education system, the USPS, and everything else the government is supposed to provide but you take for granted.
