If you look at the accounts on the list, many of them are posting obvious bait about "hearing this place is for open dialogue" so they can get all the people reacting to them as screenshots to jerk off over later.
Silently block the accounts and move on.

i am so tired of everyone saying "it looks like AI" at every piece of bad art. not only are you insulting the artist, you are making it really, painfully obvious you have no idea what AI art looks like or how to actually recognize it, and now every real artist has to live in fear of people like you.

The Scaredy Cats are taking a little break, so let's check out a game I've had my 👁️ on for a while now. It's Eclipsium, a Lovecraftian, retro-style, psychological horror game. This looks absolutely breath-taking, so I can't wait to dive in.

Will be live at spoony.live at 7PM CST! #SpoonyLive

The worst part is that people call cooldown seasons/arcs/cours filler. Like, you need an arc of stakes lowering so you can breathe before raising them again. If everything is high stakes *nothing is high stakes*. You need that beach episode to make the final fight more impactful I assure you

Lunar Twilight VA @lunartwilightva.bsky.social · 2d

i understand that linguistic drift is an inevitability, bit itll always frustrate my 2000s otaku heart to see Filler go from "anime-only content created to fill time so the manga can pull ahead again" to "any part of any fictional story that does not readoly advance the plot"

Via @automaton-media.com, composer Uematsu: “I’ve never used AI & probably never will. I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself. When you listen to music, the fun is also in discovering the background of the person who created it, right?"

There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes.
It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click.
I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Yall, just use invoices and label them as digital services, that is all you need for taxes and its HOW you are supposed to do business. Stop using friends and family and letting people send money to you. Half the time people are just breaking ToS straight up and that's why they get banned

StargazerKG 🦸🌠 Stellar Hero Vtuber @stargazerkg.bsky.social · 10d

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.
