They steal your work, they dumb you down, they make your electricity more expensive, they take your water and your livelihood.

But at least you’ll get opportunity of a lifetime: information that according to one BBC study is likely to be wrong 51% of the time!

I doubt he will ever see it, but this is my small homage to Oda-sensei’s masterpiece.

His art, his storytelling, the politics, the themes of freedom, of humanity, it all has such great impact.

For me even in these difficult times, I feel a deep sense of hope and joy.

Thank you Oda-sensei!

A black and white digital drawing (not GENAI!) of the straw hat crew from One Piece

It started with a doodle of Robin, then my love for #OnePiece exploded and I had to draw the whole crew!

One Piece is so deeply important to me!

Its given me so many moments of joy, tears and hope! Its has renewed my artistic spirits in ways I could never expect. What an incredible series!

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

A broken, blue heart

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

My heart goes out to all the devs who lost their jobs today. Losing your job unfairly— likely right after misguided RTO’s—is just utterly devastating. We deserve so much more than this.

My hope is that from this wreckage you can land on your feet, unite and create something better for yourselves!

EA rewards expertise and wild success with layoffs.

When your games get worse, it’s 1000% because of gross and uninformed decisions by execs who don’t care for those who make their success possible, or for the institutional knowledge that allows for future greater games.

This needs to change.

Congratulations, but also a bit worried as that title typically means GenAi training/integration?? Please no 😭 Bluesky is a haven for so many artists!

If that’s not the case tho my apologies and congratulations!

That even one of these cases hasn’t triggered immediate basic regulations on this is outrageous

There’s an uncomfortable number of terrifying cases on this.

Wild how with other things like four loko or those metal magnet toys, like a one or two kids died and that was enough to ban them outright…this however? That these incidents don’t even trigger basic regulations is outrageous.

Oh man…did not expect to have so many feels seeing Bad Bunny sing in Spanish and having so many Japanese fans singing along in Spanish 💖

Dragon costume and dancers, in San Francisco’s Chinese New Year’s Parade Shots of one of the floats and a dragon costume at San Francisco’s Chinese New Year’s Parade A  multi person dragon costume at San Francisco’s Chinese New Year’s Parade San Francisco’s Chinese New Year’s Parade, featuring a masked character in ornate outfit marching

Always nice to try out new things in your city. For me, I finally made it to the Chinese New Year’s Parade! It was frickin’ awesome!

One of my favorite things about San Francisco is its fantastic multiculturalism. It truly makes for a vibrant and exciting city!

Yup! Exactly! There have been so many things in the US that have been banned with far less impacts than this… it’s insane what they’re letting these companies get away with

Man Fell in Love with Google Gemini and It Told Him to Stage a 'Mass Casualty Attack' Before He Took His Own Life: Lawsuit Joel Gavalas, the father of the late 36-year-old Jonathan Gavalas, is suing Google, alleging that his son killed himself following falling in love with an AI assistant.

Holy shit this is actually insane.

This needs to be shot down, like what the heck are we doing here

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

I tried this same recipe with salmon but marinated overnight instead of 2-3 days and it was also delicious!

I’m sorry to say but it’s unfortunately built off comfyUI which is like a voltron of exploitative genai models 😭
