The nuclear block shuts down people who survive on drama.
No. If a person is replicating a style they are working towards their own style. There's a good reason why you can't license or own an art style.

Amen! I can not stand people without an ounce of wonder.
It's giving meth breakup.
Y'all need to use better language when talking about these people. He -importantly- has not made a single thing. Therefore he is not a producer. It's really simple. We're gonna start presuming they've paid you to jerk them off like this.
But now he has hair, instead of the easy to render shaved head.

The way that he interrupts her with "No, listen" as if authority dictates truth.๐ก America is being run by abusers. The problem? This behaviour is seen as strong by a significant subset of your population. They need to be corrected.
Every game has win and lose conditions. Many TTRPGs have survival or success as the Player win condition. The Storyteller/GM/DM is also a Player. What is the Storyteller/GM/DM win condition?
It's very confusing to me that the most popular Magic The Gathering format has a social rule of "play worse" attached to it.
Whoever decided to arbitrarily call this sorting algorithm "A.I." was a marketing evil genius because apparently people think it's alive no matter how many times we show them it isn't. It's genuinely astounding.
Laying on the floor for awhile because people are publishing studies about ai not being able to reason, something which is inherent to its architecture
I know I'm a monsterfucker because all it takes is biceps and I'm in.
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.
I'm currently looking for a #TTRPG reviewer interested in content for #Pathfinder2e to take a look at my levels 1-4 module. I'm not a big studio, so all I can offer is my time for interviews and a digital copy of the module. Let me know if you're interested in a DM here! #PF2e #Indiedev
I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.
This is actually a player skill. I genuinely think that if you don't do this when given the option you are playing antagonistically.

I have a vision i am an ARTIST
No. They can not. How much has your boss invested in A.I. generated content companies? It's the only explanation for your bloviating headlines. Dear intern reading this; do YOU have massive financial investment in an environment destroying paradigm that will make your position obsolete?
Hey remember about six months ago when I was ranting about how A.I. is fundamentally a fascist aligned tool? I need you to understand that the American government is literally a ponzi scheme that requires constantly escalating A.I. hype and that Donald Trump is investing in the rugpull.
I truly love when people are so good at composition that they can break a rule. The tangent of the chimneys at the very top of the composition is unacceptable by most standards but Ian doesn't just make it work, a lot of the composition is flowing OUT of that point. Madness.
Beasts of the last great wilderness- the high frontier, the untamed worlds.
This is a pretty good bit
when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe
When Paizo unionized, I got a raise amounting to thousands of dollars. I also get a higher cost of living salary increase every year in addition to my seniority salary increase. I have incredible job security. I have advocates if I have grievances. Unionizing is hard and scary but so worth it.

These people are quite literally broadcasting that they are easy to scam.
Media outlets seem to have soured on the AI hype machine.

Hey #Pathfinder2e peeps just letting everyone know that I've dropped the price on Blackpowder, Magic, & Plot to $9.99 AUD on the Patreon store. If you've been interesting in checking it out there's never been a better time. Foundry and Pathbuilder support included. www.patreon.com/c/tabletopob...
My favourite Starfinder2e thing is that the rules are compatible and I can throw some weird anachronistic bullshit into my Pathfinder2e campaign. :3
Some of the world's smartest people are deeply invested in the idea that LLMs are actually creative forces. They are not. They are vacuum cleaners attached to a firehose.
Someone bought a single copy of my module and I feel so accomplished. I hope they get to play it. ._. Thank you, whoever you are!
Bluesky has lost the sauce. Why is there an obvious A.I. image of a star destroyer pie floating around with 5k likes?
Give me simple layouts any day. I appreciate that they save money on printing art with a single colour.
"Trunkless Legs Of Stone" ShadowStones for Shadowdark 2024
I can tell this place has lost the sauce because A.I. generated memes get 1500 likes and reskeets instead of being shamed into the dark emptiness of oblivion where they belong.
This adventure sees players embroiled and conscripted into a clandestine society to protect Sothis, the capital of the Osirion nation. They will contend with ancient curses, eldritch abominations and the perils of the desert itself. Enjoy weird tales fantasy influences, with modern sensibilities!

How dare you engage with reality. Empty theoretical praxis only! >:(
Genius is a myth required for the Western world to function. It is the same eugenicist myth that brings us the gender binary, and white supremacy. The exact same myth that made the Nazi party envy America's methodologies.
It's gonna be such a trip watching this industry shift from "It can do anything! We need all the money for server farms and equipment" to "well okay maybe we overpromised on some stuff" to "well technically it's your fault for believing us"

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.
I do love how the Alien franchise posits that our visual sensors being right next to our operating hardware is a design failure. Let me just lean in real close to this strange thing out of curiosity... Oops!
In light of Vanity Fair's recent idiotic decision, WaPo's offering its veteran critic a buyout, the NYT's "reassigning" three arts writers critics, etc., a lot of us are talking about the public's (and thus publications') lack of interest in criticism. It's part of a larger pattern of a war...

Finished the latest illustration for my #Pathfinder2e module, releasing this Sunday on Pathfinder Infinite! Set in Osirion, players will be conscripted into a group of clandestine defenders of Sothis and fight against strange monsters, eldritch horror and an ancient curse. #pf2e #ttrpg #indiedev
Pete, your cowardly centrism has enabled this. When they come for your marriage, when they come to put you in a camp, know that you could have stopped this if you had an ounce of courage and cared more about justice than your career.

Recieved this message via my website contact form. ValeWorks Studio uses genAI content for their character builder. Heads up for TTRPG artists if you're being approached by them. Thought I recognized their name, I've had them blocked for months here.

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.
Jurassic World: Rebirth was great. I have no idea what people are complaining about the action was non stop the character throughlines were present but not overwhelming and the meta commentary was hilarious. 8/10 because of the Ankylosaurus which is the coolest dinosaur.
Unfortunately no, the module isn't released yet but I am hoping to eventually set myself up in Foundry. It'll be a while though; I've never used it before and I'm doing all of the dev work myself. Keep your eyes out!
Working on my last illustration for my #Pathfinder2e module! This is an Alchemy Ooze, one of the many new enemies written for the adventure! Taking place in Osirion you'll fight against an ancient curse and work for a clandestine organization. Coming Sunday August 17 to Pathfinder Infinite.

As an autistic person with ODD it is really confusing when people enjoy objectively mediocre things just because many other people purport to enjoy them. But it happens pretty consistently.

Jesus Christ. How much did they pay you?
So how much did your board of directors invest in A.I. generative content? Does that not make you, the author or the intern reading this feel devalued? At risk?
Conversely, it's strong if you can fascinate a whole enemy force and your team does stuff like drink potions and move. You know, teamwork.
