In a world awash with lazy AI slop, competence has never been sexier

commission real artists.
do real artwork.
if you have hands but you can't draw, write something from the heart.
don't resort to a generative program to do everything for you, you lazy cheap motherfuckers.

I am looking for environmental artists, particularly people with a strong background in concept work for interior locations

Atmospheric/ Liminal vibes appreciated

You can apply by dropping your art in the replies, or send your portfolio to:

Humans only. no ai.

I am SO GLAD someone else agrees with me on this

DS2 is my favorite out of the three for so many reasons that it'd take too long to write it all down but hell yeah, bear-seek-seek-lest!

If you are doing academic work in AI, but cannot see the technofascist project called "AI" for what it is, how are we to trust your work does not support that project?

So Hades 2 is a really, REALLY good game. You didn't need me to tell you that, but still.

Time to boycott anything Marvel. Teach the fuckers a lesson the only way that matters - hurt their precious wallets. Do not give them your money. Cancel Disney+ subscriptions. Don't go to their movies and don't buy any of their merch.

Capitalism needs to die and we can only do that by starving it.

STOP. USING. GENERATIVE. AI.

It's not funny it's not clever, it's just stupid and steals from artists and destroys our fucking planet. Everyone I see posting this slop gets reported for misinformation and then blocked.

Draw your own fucking cartoons.

Sharing costs nothing and helps all artists involved tremendously!

Also I'm gonna once again mention that the scariest thing a politician has been told by a consituent is endured by the average retail worker five times a week

They don't respect the artists that built their entire visual brand. They made billions - BILLIONS - off of the backs of these artists, and then indulge in layoffs so they can make themselves even richer. They will never change.

This entire thread is solid fucking gold

This might legitimately be the best thing I have read on the internet

Wait this is the dude who smashed bones in his face by hitting it with a hammer a bunch of times every morning isn't it

Holy shit, hate ages a person huh

Doe had broken up with the user in 2024, and he used ChatGPT to process the split, according to emails and communications cited in the lawsuit. Rather than push back on his one-sided account, it repeatedly cast him as rational and wronged, and her as manipulative and unstable. He then took these AI-generated conclusions off the screen and into the real world, using them to stalk and harass her. This manifested in several AI-generated, clinical-looking psychological reports that he distributed to her family, friends, and employer.

For months, her then-fiancé and partner of several years had been fixating on her and their relationship with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In mid-2024, she explained, they’d hit a rough patch as a couple; in response, he turned to ChatGPT, which he’d previously used for general business-related tasks, for “therapy.” Before she knew it, she recalled, he was spending hours each day talking with the bot, funneling everything she said or did into the model and propounding on pseudo-psychiatric theories about her mental health and behavior. He started to bombard the woman with screenshots of his ChatGPT interactions and copy-pasted AI-generated text, in which the chatbot can be seen armchair-diagnosing her with personality disorders and insisting that she was concealing her real feelings and behavior through coded language. The bot often laced its so-called analyses with flowery spiritual jargon, accusing the woman of engaging in manipulative “rituals.” Trying to communicate with her fiancé was like walking on “ChatGPT eggshells,” the woman recalled. No matter what she tried, ChatGPT would “twist it.” “He would send [screenshots] to me from ChatGPT, and be like, ‘Why does it say this? Why would it say this about you, if this is not true?'” she recounted. “And it was just awful, awful things.”

Shortly after moving out, the former fiancé began to publish multiple videos and images a day on social media accusing the woman of an array of alleged abuses — the same bizarre ideas he’d fixated on so extensively with ChatGPT. In some videos, he stares into the camera, reading from seemingly AI-generated scripts; others feature ChatGPT-generated text overlaid on spiritual or sci-fi-esque graphics. In multiple posts, he describes stabbing the woman. In another, he discusses surveilling her. (The posts, which we’ve reviewed, are intensely disturbing; we’re not quoting directly from them or the man’s ChatGPT transcripts due to concern for the woman’s privacy and safety.) The ex-fiancé also published revenge porn of the woman on social media, shared her full name and other personal information, and doxxed the names and ages of her teenage children from a previous marriage. He created a new TikTok dedicated to harassing content — complete with its own hashtag — and followed the woman’s family, friends, and neighbors, as well as other teens from her kids’ high school. “I’ve lived in this small town my entire life,” said the woman. “I couldn’t leave my house for months… people were messaging me all over my social media, like, ‘Are you safe? Are your kids safe? What is happening right now?'”

A woman sued OpenAI last week alleging that ChatGPT reinforced the obsessive, violent delusions of her stalker (her ex-boyfriend.)

This woman's claims (as detailed by TechCrunch, left) are chillingly similar to those of a completely different woman whose story Futurism reported on in Feb (right):

Substack has sucked for a good while but in case you were looking for yet another reason to not be on there:

More fucking AI slop being redistributed. It doesn't make it better if someone else posted it first. Fucking STOP SHARING IT.

not really honestly, I didn't think anyone would even see it lol

Okay, people who know me, I have a very serious question and I need an answer

Am I

am I a mildly pudgy himbo

I am entering a new era now where if I find someone absolutely obnoxious I don't immediately blame myself; instead, I just distance myself from the obnoxious person

Previously I used to think that I was at fault somehow and kept hanging out with absolutely shitty people

Not any more!

A light in the darkness. Go Hungary! I'm happy for you!!

Hillary Clinton called universal health care a pony and didn’t pay for one of her top staffers cancer treatment. They had to do a go fund me

I'm a big fan of concerts and comedy shows where they confiscate your phone before they let you in. Genuinely so wonderful to know people will actually be present and not bother everyone else.

Sometimes I get it in my head that I wanna try a new Elden Ring build. So I start a new toon, spend an hour running around getting the basic shit so I don't die immediately, settle on a temp weapon until I can get the one I need for my build, and then I go "fuck this" and play a fun game instead

Conceptual Birdbath cover art, and silhouette of new vtuber model

This Saturday the 11th, I'm dropping Conceptual Birdbath, a massive virtual boxset of 100 unreleased and rare tracks: esselfortium.bandcamp.com

At 4 PM EDT that same day, I'm hosting a listening party with commentary (and guests!) as the debut of my new vtubing model! twitch.tv/LilithNexus

Listen to this without grinning ear to ear, you can't do it youtu.be/O-ODcU4WQEg?...

I am so enormously, outrageously happy that we got a new Katamari game. And what a Katamari game it is; easily the best one since We Love Katamari. Fantastic new music, tons of stages, so many new and fresh ideas and spins on the formula - go play Once Upon a Katamari if you haven't, it's wonderful.
