CHEWS ON HIM

Who owns ideas in the AI age? | Fortune David Shelley, CEO of Hachette’s U.K. and U.S. operations, on taking on Big Tech, defending copyright, and why the future of human creativity is at stake.

[H]ere is the crux of the issue. Someone is making money from the use of these ideas—but it’s not the author, it’s the LLM companies.”

Yes! AI companies were built on other people’s ideas sans permission or compensation.

It’s exploitation, plain and simple.

ok maybe I should actually start using a fuckin ruler when I sketch these things out 🫠

mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime.

Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

It can be noncanon schools! I’ve done school of the Crane too

Hello!
Long time no post, I know.
I was going through my Witcher OC giveaway and I think I’d like to do another one.

So:
Give me a Witcher school and I will make you an OC with picrew and my own magic brain creativity!

Leaving you with something pretty instead of something sad, maybe you'll see it when the site loads again, haha.

Infograph about censorship. It compares it to magnets.

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

Digital painting of two pink lady's slipper orchids. Their pink petals are veined in darker pink and create a bulbous form that hangs down beneath long pointed leaves in shades of bright green and burgundy. The background is black making the colors of the flowers pop out at the viewer.

Today's #DrawAFlowerADay is from a beautiful ref photo provided by @mimulus.bsky.social of pink lady's slippers. I thought these would be easy because the shapes are simple not taking into account the complexity of the surface textures 😅

I'm so excited about all of the art that I haven't made yet.

I love this and also hairpins! Would you ever consider making more hairpins in the future? I might be interested in one…

It's easier to see the thorns in this hair piece in a video I suppose

A mid‑18th‑century men’s waistcoat displayed on a headless mannequin. The waistcoat is made from a pale cream silk with elaborate hand‑painted and embroidered decoration. The front panels feature vertical bands of large scrolling pink and green motifs, interspersed with small painted blue and yellow flowers resembling violets. The waistcoat has a long, flared skirt with curved pocket flaps decorated to match the floral design. A close‑up image on the right shows the detailed surface: textured thread‑covered buttons, fine painted blossoms, and the intricate scrollwork pattern on the silk. The caption identifies the garment as a men’s hand‑painted waistcoat from around 1765–1770 in The Olive Matthews Collection, Chertsey Museum, photographed by John Chase Photography.

#FridayFrocks - This Man's waistcoat, c.1765–70 is particularly suitable for our #SpringFlowers theme. The fronts are decorated with ribbons and violets, and they have been hand painted rather than embroidered.

You know what doesn't get its support unceremoniously pulled by a tech company? Fuckin' books, brother

Just a few hours away from the drop, but I’ll have these & more🎉

attempting to push myself more lately. i am tired of being scared of backgrounds! it's time to learn buildings and landscapes !!!!

*sigh*
If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.
