an example of real pixel art and explaining the pixel grid:

Thread on how to spot AI generated pixels by reyhkibanki on twitter!~ Might be a useful read to help you spot common mistakes AI makes when generating pixels. There's also a lot more info in the link!!

Massive PSA to ALL artists who may be on Twitter, please protect yourself. I just wiped all my art off that shit site, so unfortunately a lot of NSFW art that could be viewed on there will not be available. Some is available on Slasher app, and a bit on Pixiv. I will try to post old lewd art on pixiv and any relevant lewds on Slasher app. I'm really thinking of looking into just getting my own website to display all works uncensored depending on the cost.

To give more context on what the XAi program will be doing here is a link to an article with interview answers from the Mustyness himself:

A quote from said article:

'He also claimed that xAI’s use of Twitter data would not be much different from what many are already using the platform for, adding that it would primarily be used for “text training” and “image and video training.”

“I guess we will use the public tweets — obviously not anything private* — for training as well, just like basically everyone else has,” Musk said.'

He will be using data from private accounts, what Elon means is likely data of birthdates and addresses.

I added ALT descriptions now to the image, I didn't have time before (I'm working on an overly detailed art piece right now), I hope that helps all with screen readers!

I'll be honest I've been so massively burnt out. I feel like all of my recent sculptures have sucked and I havent had any drive to sculpt. Making anything is a struggle. I feel a horrible guilt about it, every moment i don't spend making something to sell is a waste of money.

getting myself to focus on a drawing is also a struggle, and even when I am drawing I feel guilty that I'm not using that time making something i can sell. Not to mention the growing dread that Heartbreak Gulch will probably never become "a thing"

People tell me to take time off but I already have taken too much time off, drawing feels like a waste, and no other hobbies are bringing me any joy. Not to mention just garden variety dread, regret, and dysphoria creeping up my spine daily

tldr I'll Be Honest Kitten, Daddy Is Feeling Not So Good and thank you for being patient with me and also liking my OCs because they bring me joy.

AI scraping is beyond a problem but at the same time, im too tired to be frightened of it. Especially since theres no way of avoiding it (AI has been in the background for 4 years now at least scraping away).

I won't stop posting on social media unless forced to, but I just don't feel like us artists will ever truly be replaced.

i hate precuretwt bc i saw this cure moonlight pic with like the perfect colors and glow effects for her only to find out it was tagged as ai and i've been searching for at least an hour for a pic like this done by a real artist???

like i would legit pay irl money to commission a piece like this with her except i suck at describing shit when it comes to art (i'd just wind up describing it as "genshin-y" bc it feels like all the artists who do these kinds of prints do genshin art?)

i kid you not, i love these sorts of shiny galaxy fanarts and i was so excited to see if i could get a print like this with my fave only to find out it was ai :(

the night we first fucked I did not sleep.

it was a Saturday, early March, our gin and rum stained lips catching flesh well into the devil's hours, and then a shower in which I dissolved into incongruous tears

(you told me later you thought "oh fuck, what have I done?" when after our pleasure ended our intimacy gave way to my panic.)

(when in truth, I was just drunk) (by choice, on purpose) (your concern about that later a balm but unwarranted. I meet fate deliberately, rum or not)

I was not too drunk to revel in the revelation that was your touch on my skin but I may have been too drunk for the gravity of emotions spurred on much more by us just talking, laughing against the sheets, stumbling stupid down the road.

feeling touched, and seen, equally and deliberately, understood and respected, for maybe the first time in our respective pathetic histories of love.

you slept, and the sun rose, and I didn't. I reeled. I wrote to someone I no longer speak to at 4am, 5am, 6 slowly confronting the gravity of what I'd begun to know.

(this was no experiment this was not shallow this would not be temporary this would change me profoundly and wholly.)

I could not sleep because I knew I would not wake up in a world that had not changed, and because the pilot light in my chest, long dormant, now burned a hole through my ribs.

the future yawning before me, paths unfurling like leaves, so many of them suddenly leading to you.

Didnt Instagram/facebook change their policies so by having an account you automatically agree to have your content train their AI with no way to turn it off? Good enough reason to not post there at all if you ask me

i think unfortunately just about all websites are doing this no matter what they say.

[yunyin]

I have such imposter syndrome posting art on places where industry people are

[felt-texture]

[itsatorchwoodthing]

fandom so small i singlehandedly doubled the fanarts for a ship that i could find on the internet

[kaiserouo]

seeing most naruto gifs and manga edits on here are like 7-12 years old.... truly humbling

naruto fans in 2024 are more brave than any veteran 🫡

anyway my most spiciest political take right now is so many people are showing how easy it is to lash out when they are feeling helpless, or to believe in a villain they can defeat on a smaller scale than the way the bigger wheels of the world are grinding beyond our reach, because they want to be able to do something, anything, even though that can be propaganda in and of itself, and it makes you lose track of the power of kindness and aid and support in our hands that we can do.

I think the biggest thing people can do is log off, not offline entirely, but log off the platforms where people are screaming at each other just because things feel so fraught that they have to scream and having a target lulls you into feeling like it is productive, and reach out to whoever it is you DO want to help, and ask them what you can do. financially, volunteering, labor, prayer, therapy, buying phone cards, whatever.

it's not as emotionally cathartic as feeding into your own self righteous indignation by fighting strangers on the internet, it won't lie to you and tell you that you're singlehandedly making somebody across the world bulletproof or neutralizing somebody's weapon, but it is better, because it will be the truth that you need to hear, and agency over not the smallness of your limitations, but the actual span of your reach and your capability to help beyond wishing to be superhuman and hating yourself for not being that.
