Infograph about censorship. It compares it to magnets.

Sorted my thoughts about censorship, so I can stop thinking about it.

there are altogether too many quotable paragraphs in this must-read article but i think i can restrain myself to just this one

A knight wielding a red flaming sword on a grey twisting background. A white hot symbol hovers above the stump of her severed neck.

A collection of pieces made by me depicting red scenes of grief, rage, sorrow, isolation and more.

An illustration of a viera character staring at the viewer through thick vegetation. The woods surrounding them are dark and foreboding.

Advocate: J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization.

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

highly encourage everyone to be critical of liberal feminism and the idea of identity solidarity over class solidarity! a female landlord is still a landlord, a gay ceo is still a ceo

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

"is there a technology the left are actually excited about?"

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.

I just heard that some furries are jerking off to weird, objectionable stuff. Be careful!

Age verification vendor Persona left frontend exposed, researchers say Behind a basic age check, researchers say Persona’s system runs extensive identity, watchlist, and adverse-media screening.

Researchers discovered a publicly exposed frontend on a government-authorized server, containing 2,456 accessible files from the age verification vendor used by Discord.

Was digging through my old art folders and ran across this old ass Warframe art of my Tenno next to my fav frames from most to least (divided by male and female frames) from 9 years ago

these shapes go crazy, man, I haven't touched WF in so long

Swen Vincke @LarAtLarian Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: https://gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-dev-embraces-machine-learning-for-tasks-that-nobody-wants-to-do/1100-6531123/ We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.

This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.
