too many sparkle dogs, needed people to draw or i'd go crazy SO UH. oops. i've always loved Suzu's look and i've been meaning to draw some of Lily's characters for YEARS

@lily-orchard

The internet is flooded with AI-generated photos and they're getting harder to spot.

Most of the time AI is used for click-farming, but lately images have been used in fake news stories and product scams.

Most important: THINK CRITICALLY. AI will eventually get too good to make obvious mistakes. Being media literate means checking not just if an image is real, but if the source is trustworthy.

If you're not sure, don't share! You might be spreading misinformation.

me? working on adoptables in a weird art style?

i mean ya.

[kaiartz]

tfw you really should draw and work on your own ocs, but other peoples ocs are so much more fun and cool and new and shiny

GUMROAD IS BANNING NSFW CONTENT IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS

I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet, so I might as well.

They've updated their content policy to comply with payment processor Stripe and Paypal's censorhip. They gave 24 hours. On March 16th 2024, Gumroad TOS will no longer allows sales of any written or drawn nsfw content.

This is going to hurt for so many creators. Giving that little time leaves people's source of income wildly unstable, especially with such a huge overhaul of what content is allowed.

I hate this. I hate what censorship is turning the internet into. I hate that nsfw content creators keeo getting pushed to the fringes, that they need to digitally migrate so often, because nowhere can be trusted to allow their art for long.

I don't know what to do next, there isn't some sort of "here's what you can do to help!" People just deserve to know.

Ppl: “Glaze and nightshade all your art!!”

Also ppl: * does not mention that you need to have a fucking NVIDIA GPU and running nightshade on one image takes at best 20 minutes*

Like the online version of glaze/nightshade requires an account. And last time i checked they arent accepting new accounts because of the high pressure.

Like i make my art on my ipad. My MacBook is from 2014. If i tried to download and run nightshade on my decade old macbook and go throufg 10+ years of artworks i might as well just set it on fire.

I feel like "picky eater" recipe makers have never met a picky eater ever in their life.

Listen. I'm sick of chicken cause it's all my mom cooks, I'm really finicky with noodles(I can only handle thin ones cause otherwise it's like worms in my mouth), I hate rice and pork and seafood. Stir fry, casseroles and stews are gross, and I hate tomatoes and bell peppers. Curry is gross, Mac and cheese is fucking disgusting-do I just not like food????

The only thing these people can offer are burgers ad tacos and things with cheese.

Stoppit. Give me actual help and supply me with meals I can actually stomach eating. Jesus christ food shouldn't be this hard.

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

oh boy here we go again, another pet site community being run by people who 100% do not know or do not care that Toxic Positivity is real and is fucking harmful and annoying.

can we stop letting people in their early twenties run unofficial discord servers that the entire website uses?
