Shame on you for doing genAI @bsky.app
Nobody wants it. It's going to crash the economy and drag us all down with it.
Stop.

Bluesky leans into AI with Attie, an app for building custom feeds

I still see too many users here unaware of this, and it's why we are never getting things like soft-blocking, restricted/locked accounts, or circles (and if we do, you shouldn't trust them).

Treat EVERYTHING you do on here INCLUDING DMs as though it is fully public (because it is!)

Partage si t'es pas une IA 👺

Sujet super intéressant et je serai sur de regarder. Mais par contre, pourquoi le visuel en genAI ?

Jokes by animators for animators xD

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out

pick up a pencil and a napkin

Also the most important concept arts are not flashy illustrations, they're 5mn sketches on the corner of a napkin to clarify very specific visual design questions (like how the asset should fit level design metrics, or signal a clear call to action).
But that's a problem older than genAI...

And as a game artist, gAI for placeholders is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
I've seen lead artists spend afternoons sorting hundreds of genAI results rather than 5mn to put a bright pink box in.
It's not even about productivity, just top management pushing the thing they were told to invest in.

I've said for years now that a specific toxic creative director's actual contribution to their project could just as well have been done with a random prompt generator (not ai prompts, just good old websites that mash words or fantasy names together to get you out of blank page).

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

“Fuck AI”

— Guillermo del Toro

🎥 Vanity Fair

Even on a more practical level, scientists typically want to run machine learning to sort through vast amounts of data, and only their data. The packages sold by AI companies involve training on untold amounts of (stolen) unspecified data that just make them unreliable for science. Different beasts.

Machine learning was being used in science before tech bro losers decided LLMs was going to be their next scam (after the utter travesty that was NFTs). AI is a marketing ploy and financial bubble threatening to cause a major economic crash. Machine learning and AI should not be lumped together.

This is also my hill to die on.
I'm a former gifted kid with most of my family in teaching related jobs. I went to art school and work in a field where people can often lament being bad at drawing. It always makes me sad they seem to think it's a inate trait and not a skill to learn if they want to.

A pika sits on a mossy rock.

Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head.

An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

Got the same issue when drawing on my tablet. I guess it's the OLED screen being very vibrant. Kinda hurts my digital painting training. Color is hard enough as it is, and even harder if I have to compensate for what it might look like on a regular screen.
But I say you did a great job either way :)

I think Dedra scared herself there.

in french we say "criminou" as a pun with "criminal" and "minou" (kitty, pronounced meenoo) :3

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

A neat trick is the same graph can be used to show the difference between millionaires and billionaires (more or less...)
