Jayce and Viktor head sketch from the tv show Arcane

A very quick #jayvick sketch 🏃🏃🏃🏃

Baby #jayvik 🐣🍼

The work they are doing to normalize and universalize gAI use in schools and universities, to discredit any criticism, all to ensure they have a captive and uncritical customer base utterly dependent on them for generations

this user
@verasdiary.bsky.social runs people's work through AI to make shitty videos so you might wanna block and report them.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!

If you are struggling mentally or are in a dark place let this be a small check point to say, it does get better.

In 2023-24 I had some of the worst depression of my life. I felt like my entire career was gone as Twitter died, but more and more I keep noticing how much I’ve improved since then.

Second run for these Jayce Mel and Viktor plushies will be starting very soon! Keep an eye out 👀

It is an existential imperative that we begin a serious global dialogue about how ‘experts’ as the media uses the term, consistently lag behind us laymen when it comes to Knowing Some Bullshit When We See It.

WIP: Hellooo I'm almost done with the little epilogue for Missing Years! And it has some post-finale silly stuff too as you can see! Then I have more Jayvik stuff I'm working on, stay tuned!

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

April 2022, when I went back to 🇮🇹 & visited Venice with Kaoru and Kojiro 🥰
1st pic is them seeing Venice from the plane's window! Then eating some amazing tramezzini and drinking spritz. They took the train to Venice and went straight to Piazza San Marco! ✨

The harm done by #GenAI to human creativity develops in ways we least expect as well as the obvious ones ... cheating has always been a factor in competitions for those who would rather win than grow, but it disrespects and damages the role of the judge as well as the skills of other competitors.

I'm seeking an artist to do a digital cover illustration for the standalone ebook edition of my story "Kaiju Agonistes." I'm looking for something in the $300 range (plus, I profit share): stylized, not elaborately realistic. You can see my existing e-book trade dress at: www.scottlynchstore.com

If you want to actually do the thing then you have to be prepared to suck at it while you learn. If you're using AI you're not an artist, and you'll never be an artist, because you don't love art enough to be bad at it.

Post from Art Director Bill Robinson on LinkedIn saying: Welp, it finally happened. I was hired to work on a MAJOR live action Hollywood film (and I mean it’s one of the biggest anticipated films of the year). They needed a small animated sequence and wanted a character designer. I was handed a ChatGPT image and told “make it different”. I did - I spent hours finessing the design into something better and more specific for the character in the film. Waited a week for notes - then was told they got clearance from legal to use the original AI image instead. No need for any further work. This is what the director wanted. What are we doing as a society? What’s the endgame here? Replace every human until we are all homeless? I just don’t get it. If a major Hollywood film with a huge budget doesn’t see the need to work with real artists, is there any hope left?

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
