I know that pain - I burned the better part of 200 glamour prisms just to combine into outfits.

Thankfully crafting has been profitable this patch

Framework mentions Linux support for their laptops. Can be a little quirky with things like fingerprint readers, but so far has worked great

This is the realest approach to ANY creative work IMO

Like if my music-brain is jammed up, rather than slog it out, if I actually *stop* for a bit, the answer comes pretty quick

(usually when I'm having a bath or something, then it's a frantic scramble to get it out of my brain and into the world)

Screenshot from Windows Settings>Privacy and Security>Text and image Generation.

"Text and image generation uses on-device AI technologies to quickly respond to requests. Turning this settings off will not affect apps and features using cloud AI technologies.

Text and image generation
Windows and anyone using this device can use Text and image generation.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

🎇 Finally, this commission is done! A lovely lady from Final Fantasy XIV, commissioned by @senkins.bsky.social 🥰❤️

I experimented a lot with this one, and I quite like the end result! What do you think? :)

In an interesting—and rather telling—wrinkle to the AI boom story, many translators noted that generative AI didn’t usher in any revolutionary improvement to already-existing technologies that have been used to automate translation for years. Long before AI became the toast of Silicon Valley, corporate clients had been pushing lower-paying machine translation post-editing (MTPE) jobs1, or editing the output of AI translation systems, though many translators refused to take them. Others said Google Translate had long been able to essentially what ChatGPT does now.

Yet many describe a dramatic disruption in wages and working conditions over the last two years, coinciding with the rise of OpenAI. Though my sample size is small, these stories fit my thesis that the real AI jobs crisis is that the drumbeat, marketing, and pop culture of "powerful AI” encourages and permits management to replace or degrade jobs they might not otherwise have. More important than the technological change, perhaps, is the change in a social permission structure.

The jobs that are most vulnerable to LLMs aren't the jobs that LLMs can do well; they're the jobs that managers neither respect nor understand and will readily accept permission to replace.

OpenAI slams court order to save all ChatGPT logs, including deleted chats OpenAI defends privacy of hundreds of millions of ChatGPT users.

OpenAI/ChatGPT is being sued, and in that process they got a court order to not delete any chats/questions, anything you've written there, even if you ask to delete, they would have to keep. That means millions of people might have their chats exposed "legally". arstechnica.com/tech...

End of my rope. If you can help, we are dealing with a flooded storage unit, and my account is neg. Trying to dry towels, and feed my kids because we've been at this all day. I hate asking for help, but I'm cooked.

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but.

It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies

But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

Even physical games are bricked without PSN access if you need to pair a disc drive. This is why real physical media and disc drive access is vital.

Welcome to the future - nobody owns anything, and all art and entertainment is disposable, temporary, and lost forever.

Panel 1: I may be scared of 2025.
A person clenches a ruined comic in their hands with tears streaming down their cheeks.

Panel 2: But 2025 should be scared of me too.
Same person looks determinedly into the camera, preparing to draw anyway.

Almost lost to burnout this year. Next year I’m going in swinging
