As a corollary to this: there are a lot of artists who will black-list you from BUYING art if you have AI slop in your profile. Seeing AI is an instant, immediate red flag for most artists because it's a signal that you do not respect artists (yes, that includes using it "until I can get real art").
Just so you know...
Art directors, Art enjoyers, Art buyers and Artists talk with each other. Nobody wants AI slop, specially when there is real art out there as an alternative. You can totally get blacklisted, not only on the industry, but inside fandoms for defending AI precarization and theft.

This is like the UBI study in that we've done it, like, five times and no one gives a shit because the people who are passing legislation against trans people don't actually care about trans suicide, they like trans suicide, they want it to happen
"[G]ender-affirming care saves lives."
"Suicidality scores among the [study's] patients who provided responses dropped by over 67 percent."
"[O]f the hundreds of patients who started hormone therapy, only seven discontinued their treatment."

You can’t be pulling this shit with a title like Let It Die, that’s just asking for nominative determinism man.
The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

Like, we need to remember that these AI programs do not run on the ether - their ecological impact is because they're power hungry, computer intensive, heat producing systems.
They're EXPENSIVE!
If they don't make money, they GO AWAY.

One of the reasons I've never bought into AI doomerism, is that to believe "it's here to stay, get used to it!" you have to buy into the idea that AI generated elements are so hardcoded or integral as to be permanent, when they really aren't.
You can simply remove it, and it's gone just like that.

This is why creators and consumers hate AI.
It drowns out humor efforts by sheer mass, they are often low quality slop, and THERE IS NO WHERE TO ESCAPE THEM.
every formerly human creative endeavor is being inundated by plagiarism box output, leaving us to shovel shit to find human creation.

Nearly every single day I have games like this clogging up my inboxes, and it's such a time wasting endeavour, as I have to sort through and filter out all the AI generated shovelware, and it just won't stop. No matter how clear I am that I am not interested in AI slopware, it keeps coming.

Not a single major news outlet has covered this story. There is such a blatant, obvious attempt to suppress any and all news that deals with the actual facts about transgender life and experience. As the government rolls back our rights on an unprecedented scale, we have been left out to dry.

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

As someone that worked a call center for a large company in the past I can say this is effective. The call center contracts are very specific about performance. Unresolved calls and calls from irate callers matter. It actually gets to high levels pretty fast. Keep going!
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
