Typical magical school stuff. Vengeful spirit, teaching children combat unsuperviser? Yeah seems safe :D

Its ugly exactly in the way it should be. Weird crossover but we'll done

Der in der Oranienstraße!

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Front cover of Kill 6 Billion Demons third issue by Tom Bloom

Realised my local comic shop @moderngraphics.bsky.social carries K6BD by @orbitaldropkick.bsky.social the other day! Had to snag one

I have been getting into it recently and its so good!

whew. i'm not sure what to think about that one yet.
if i'm making art, free and pure for everyone who wants to engage with it, why does that imply I have to be fine with it being stripped of that freedom and bundled into a pile of hyper-capitalist "services" that I never agreed to?

Well it starts with billion dollar companies using training data they neither own nor pay for to build their entire business ontop of.
It's inherently unethical. And that's not saying anything about slave labour and wage theft in the tagging of said - unpaid - data.

One more addition since some people apparently differentiate for some reason:
All of this applies to both LLMs and image/video/audio generation.
Yes, that does include Claude Code and the likes.
If you crap on chatGPT but vibecode, you're one and the same.

just finished this nice, cheery, short video about #MtG Aetherdrift, and the political themes presented in it.
definitely a video about magic the gathering, and nothing else

@spice8rack.bsky.social awesome work

Fair, thanks for the reply. I saw your reply that you can't monetize these after I posted my request.

ANY CHANCE FOR A DIGITAL FILE? wow i love this. i'm working on something this would be perfect for

I have no clue what you're on about, i recommend taking a breather. I don't have it out for you or your beliefs.

Its just a comic about taking symbolism out of context. Idk why you seem upset at that.
Yeah obviously its symbolic. Literally every living human in the christian west knows that.
No sense in getting upset over a silly comic.

Imagine you find an unexplored cave. A few openings in, there's a massive altar depicting a mutilated corpse spiked in an excruciatingly painful manner. Do you first think "oh this seems safe, i'll go find out why"?

The crack must've felt terrible 😅

IM SORRY WHAT
HOW

and i'm barely touching on the topic of art direction here.
Also there's still the entire complex issue of racism, classism, licensing violations, wage theft, borderline slavery... and all the other horrendous crap genAI causes / propagates / is built on.

Because they're showcasing it on characters. Who end up not looking like said characters. but a bland approximation of whatever set of training data faces they had.

a resource-intensive feature that nobody asked for which solves no known problem AND is functionally not just useless, but actively makes the product worse?

SOLD! 100 BILLION TO OPENAI, NOW!!!

Even the smoothness comes at a cost - namely artifacting and generallly shit looking textures in motion and input delay.
It stems the bleeding of mid range systems getting shit performance even on mid settings..

Close up of the hilt / crossguard of a sheathed longsword. green leather sheeth, cord wrap and rain guard. there's decorative pattern work on the belt and an embossed hyrule crest on the rain guard.

Unsheathed longsword laying on laminate flooring. The blade is crossed over the sheath.

Haven't shared that beauty here yet. My first sharp!

"ohh but how are you gonna compete, its like not using powertools"
No its like not leveraging slavery. Yes, slavery. Human workers are getting exploited to tag media for your idiotic slop.

Also curious to hear how Spiderman is selling from the perspective of shop owners through this!

It might not fix the issue but it will help poison the well.

"artist proof"
When an artist illustrates a card, they get some test prints with white back. It's become a tradition for some artists to hand paint on the back and sell or give them away :)
