I have too many social media apps in my phone and I'm starting to kinda panic cause that's so much!

SO MANY!!!

Since people are in a hoopla about the new settings thing here is the Terms of Service on Adult Content.

Also got the Violence/Gore stuff screenshot bc I know some artists who make that stuff for a living.

So in a nutshell ~

No irl sexual content

No irl female titty (male titty fine?) Unless it's artistic/educational/newsworthy/political content

No illustrated sexual content

No fucking PERIOD

HE JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED AGAIN!!! (and to nut)

Just a rule of thumb

If you're blocked don't make a new account just to follow again.

It's unsettling and frankly pisses me off.

Especially when it's a minor. I'm not your mom or friend. Stop it.

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use. 

Mass exodus of twitter???

HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO!!!

I'm still here.

Just been working and I have some insane artist block. I don't know if it's because I'm currently interested in 20+ things or EVERYTHING happening in the country I'm in but it's so bad dude.

Maybe I can do those lil build a critter prompts or color palette prompts and I can try to get something out?

Idk, anyway, I'm still here, just quiet.
