Some art I do for @nulshift.net hope they like

It's sad that people (pro AI users in this case) constantly get tricked into rooting for the thing that ends up destroying them.

The one thing the people who say that don't realize is that they're the ones that are going to get left behind.
Their boss is going to realize they don't need 10 artists to type words on a computer. They only need the director to do it.

Absolutely devastated to have to deliver this news.

I have loved working at BuzzFeed so much but I have to stand up for what I believe in.

Please DO NOT send hate to anyone!

If anything changes regarding this, I will let you know.

Which means I can't *remove* them from my followers nor block them. They don't exist anymore.

There's still a ton of bots that get through undetected though. Thankfully I keep my DMs to only people I follow.

Another frustrating part about the bots is that even if they get detected and banned... they still contribute to people's follower counts.
I have over a hundred followers but if I look at the actual list, there's only like 20, the rest of them are bots that got banned so they don't show up.

foxes are just built different

you can't just post mine after yours!

I get over them. Then they happen again.
I don't know what to do.

A news article posted on Telegram's website on Jan 3, 2026 titled "AI Summaries, New Design and More" with the summary: "Telegram's first update of 2026 brings even more Liquid Glass interfaces on iOS and AI summaries for channel posts and Instant View pages — built to maximize privacy and protect user data."

"guys we gotta get off discord"
agreed
"we should move to telegram"
absolutely fucking not

exactly!!! i never played your game but this is YOUR game! you don't have to try to make it different to appeal to me, someone who never made their own kakashi x ramen shop lady fanfic! the kakashi x ramen shop lady fans will like your game less if you did that!!
id probably still play it anyway lol

the best indie games were developed by people who just simply made a game THEY wanted to play. then forced everyone to deal with their shit. and the correct audience loves the game as a result.
and im sure the same is true for other forms of media, like movies and etc.

honestly pretty much any art form gets better when the creators just do what they wanna do and force everyone to enjoy whatever bullshit they made.
feel like stuff like focus groups are taking pieces from would-be fans away for the sake of hitting a wider audience.

So, I'm not the only one who thought this.
Good to know I'm not too crazy

:(

Got a certain phrase said this time.

Naw we going to Steam chat

hello!

But also if that ever gets into production, the last thing I'll do in SL on my way out is deleting everything.

They were also one of the more vocally opposed to the anti-AI feedback post.

Hoping for answers and a fast recovery ❤️

Doesn't help that the post is clickbait. I can't see the article title without clicking the link. That's an interaction of separation. I can see the text and the video right away though. And it's spun very positively on the surface.
First impressions matter. The reactions are expected.

Hope you feel better soon!
But yeah I feel that on the bed thing. Can be nearly passing out in my chair, go to bed, wide awake.

Still happening. Yay. Totally not fucking with my emotions.

and yes i will still block people that dont label their nsfw and unfollow people that repost it.

hi dont post or repost unlabeled nsfw stuff please.
i get some of you are okay with seeing nsfw stuff unfiltered but some of us work outside of home.

owwww :c

Heat Signature, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Warframe, and Creeper World 4 are four I can think of.
Wouldn't say the gameplay was terrible necessarily, just not my jam or pacing.

its still there
