This is so cute (also there are just so many people who urgently need to be told this message by an adorable bunny)! I think I might have to get several stickers >:3

I love them and consider them a good step toward my final goal of becoming a witch and retreating into a little house in the woods 👍. Thanks for making them (and packaging them so safely)!

Between this, Harper Collins announcing AI audiobooks, A24 starting AI marketing, it's clear the companies holding art hostage are trying to pull a slow lobster boil on us with AI. I hope we continue to shame them mercilessly for betraying their human artists & audience.

I purchased these mugs with cute little feet on them from this shop a while ago and I'm so happy I did! They're beautifully made, were packaged safely and even came with two thematically matching Pokemon cards (?!!), as a nice extra, so I highly recommend!

There are NO ethically-gathered datasets to train AI.

After months of artists’ questioning Adobe about “supplementary data sources”, here’s the answer.

Firefly isn’t ethical either.

"At least 196 humanitarian workers have been killed in Gaza since October, according to the United Nations". Let that sink in. It's not enough that they're trying to wipe Palestinians off the face of the earth, but also anyone who tries to aid them.

If this is what they're doing to non-Palestinian aid workers what are the soldiers "disobeying orders" doing to the actual Palestinian civilians?

From what I can gather,

Webtoon AI PAINTER is something that will color lineart (smells like img2img)
Webtoon AI Editor is something that will mimic existing artists' styles (uh oh)

IDK what CURATOR and SHAPER plan to do. #webtoon #webtoons

To the NSFW creators reacting to the the BS payment processors have been on in general, a call to action:
the ACLU now has a petition on MasterCard and will likely use it to assess the legal resources to assign to this case. Sign and let them know this is important!

I really adore these, they give me quiet-moment-in-an-old-anime-vibes. I immediately ordered the whole set as prints when I saw them recently and they're so, so pretty (the paper quality is really nice, too!)!

I'm seeing folks saying we should wait for more facts before making judgments about this. Fair enough. But keep in mind the "exculpatory" story is that Israel starved a civilian population to the point that civilians felt compelled to stampede an aid convoy.

exactly the same arc as the Iraq War: the high-paid centrist pundits like Friedman who decried the dirty hippies at the start of the war develop the exact same take as the dirty hippies, just six months too late.

As if the destruction of Palestinian lives was not enough, Israeli forces are trying to totally erase their history too. (This is only one of 14 other libraries badly damaged or destroyed).
