First fox painting in Rebelle. Just got the art app on sale.
Wanted to do a little something different for halloween.
Also Happy Halloween.

The user confirmed themselves to be a furphobe and one of those gatekeepy types. You know of the truscum vs tucute thing? It's all a bit weird. They got mad at me because they hate crossdressers apparently and say they give trans people a bad name. My friend is a crossdresser. The acc is a troll.

Solution is simple... Don't use Adobe. I wouldn't even pay for Photoshop. I mean it's literally using algorithms made by the open source community. There's not a single feature in PS that isn't in freeware programs/suites. Support the original coders. Adobe stealing isn't new at all.

Indeed. Just capitalists own their money and gov has no control over that. So I don't imagine a change without war or some other major shift. The gov severely squashed UC during Covid cause there wasn't enough money for UC. Since UBI-supporting taxes are "paid" by the people getting the UBI.

That's odd, I'm blocked but can see it.
Oh well, hope you're doing well.

Hello Sideways Cat, not to alarm you, but like me you are on this popular transphobe list. Like me, you are trans so I can't see a reason why except for malicious reasons:
bsky.app/profile/tran...
It's important we report these malicious lists together, hopefully bsky will improve itself soon.

Hello Rachael sorry to contact you this way. Like me you are on this popular transphobe list:
bsky.app/profile/tran...
It's concerning random people can be added erroneously/maliciously to these lists, but I thought I'd let you know in case you don't realise may be e.g. your followers have issues.

Looks like they had blocked me. Based on the descriptions of the profiles, several trans/allies have been added to this mute list:
josh592.bsky.social
mellowlotus.bsky.social
duskyartz.bsky.social
terfslayer.bsky.social
rachaeloxy.bsky.social
sidewayscat.bsky.social
freenudecelebs.bsky.social

Hello Josh. Sorry to contact you like this.
You are on a transphobe mute list, like me, that is used by many users:
bsky.app/profile/tran...
It seems you are a "trans ally". I am a disabled trans-intersex person myself. It seems this person is routinely targeting disabled(?) trans allies.

Hello @trans.bsky.social I recently became aware that my account may be included on your transphobe mute list. Could you please clarify the reasons why I was added to this list? I am a trans woman and support the trans community, so I want to understand if there was a misunderstanding. Thank you!

It's interesting to see posting animal art has had me blocked for being both "left" and "right" wing, trans and transphobe, and even NSFW (but I don't post NSFW), and for engaging in another's random country's politics (which I haven't). I've been inactive on here due to physical illness as well.

There's a site here as well that blocks people based on hearsay lists, even though its clear my account is entirely posting art. The only subject my account has been anti towards is AI images. And these people call themselves "liberal" for unchecked #Censorship What?
clearsky.app/inafox.bsky....

Same here, I've apparently been added to one.
I hope they realise that defamation is a sueable offence.

Why would I be on a transphobe list, I'm trans myself? x.x
I wouldn't bother cancel lists, they're made by bullies/trolls without any evidence for anything.
Can you link me the list? I will report them for illegal libel and slander.

Indeed, photomorphing isn't new, just people used to appreciate what the photomorphs were morphing. Nowadays they just add a bit of noise to obfuscate multiple images together and then pretend these photomorphers are generating images from noise and sadly the tech unsavvy believe their lies.

If they appreciated art they wouldn't steal it to begin with.
OpenAI admitted stuff like Sora isn't even generative and just "swaps" out image data applied to stock content. That said, diffusion etc is just photomorphing stuff, so animated diffusion always has a photomorphy puppet warp effect.

Absolutely, the issue lies with both the users and the backers who drive the technology's direction (many of which are users themselves). Ethical guidelines and responsible investment are crucial to ensure technology provisions support rather than exploit creative industries and minority artists.

Damn right.
Futurist capitalism (fascism) replaces art to make everyone work in jobs regarded "masculine" like the military and mining that no one wants or truly needs.
But what we could do with is a system where AI alleviates ills, allowing humans to meditate, play and create, stress-free.

Pick up a pencil

*prompt engineers I mean. Cause it's insulting to ethical AI engineers to use that term lol

I think a common misconception is that CFG means prompt-adherence, so these so-called "well-trained" AI engineers ramp it up a lot. But it leads to over saturated contrast because the model uses the guidance core of the model, which is the prompt-form reactive layer, while embeddings are "content".

I can explain why this is.
In the base training of SD models, they use primitively lit content like spheres from 3D images in the core training. That's the primitive training, it allows the AI model to "repose" and blend content.
When the CFG level is too high, more of this data is used in the noise

Rudimentary? Reminds me of one of my favourite minimalist comics, "Foxes in Love". The art is consistently similar, and simple, but despite the existence of, say, Story Diffusion, AI is just incapable of replicating its human-driven aesthetic not just its storytelling. Ex:
foxes-in-love.tumblr.com

Yeah, the new SD3 model is better at text and is literally replicating watermarks perfectly, text-and-all, when someone trains a embedding on top of it containing such. The reason why text was distorted before was because of random seeding between steps. But now they care less for track-covering.

Disney hasn't really released anything in the last decade that was remotely good in my view. It's all industrialised. In the past teams were devoted to the medium but now Disney are the McD's of animation.
Also they've considerably ruined a lot of live action IPs they stream, like Marvel, DW and SW.

Boomers tend to be the ones who see this in their own generation though and are critical of it. Younger gens just tend to think the whole world is after them. But it is a class issue and class likelihood is tied to certain generations.

I mean they're not wrong.
Boomers are the last class to really hold the wealth, and thus tech.
Younger gens are the ones who are working, and are the ones having their work stolen.
Just see MSN, the whole AI plagiarist elite are middle-class middle-aged karens that always reposted stolen art online.

Could you imagine AI without stolen photography tho?
What's AI gonna do, send out robots to take pics?

Yeah I've never seen AI that looked remotely soulful, even when an artist combined their own work with it.
I can't tell exactly why that is but I think it's something to do with what's regarded as qi yun sheng dong in Chinese painting. When we draw/sculpt especially, we put emotion into every stroke

Yes they say that and then download more of our art to train more models because of how limited the last were.
Fortunately Glaze'd art did quite significant damage to Stability's newest model but it's quite clear even their cover image is copying DA artists from 10 years back.
