Voice Of Zoo

“There is no ethical way to use the major AI image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real human artists.”

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.

Love the Tonowari profile!

two cutie beans i've become friends with in the last few months ... this was such a joy (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Logitech G502, wired. Had it 10 years without issue. Might get the wireless one when it dies.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Grok is producing ~6,700 sexually suggestive or nudified images per hour

Really wanted to read How The Grinch Stole Christmas on stream today. Didn't work out. Guess there's next year

Perry: The return of the r-word "These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

"It turns out that banishing the [R-word] slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back & it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred & bigotry." @lollardfish.bsky.social:

If only my family were remotely interesting enough to fill up a bingo card.

Sorry folks, no stream today. Family's not feeling well so I gotta help them out. Possible stream tomorrow instead!

That's exactly what I'm trying to do right now. Make a daily schedule, stick to it as best I can, but have grace for myself when things change. Work on things one tiny piece at a time and be ok with being bad at stuff and starting slowly and simply. I CAN do things.

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵

I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

@otakotan.bsky.social @palmtoptigre.bsky.social @pumpkinpotion.bsky.social

That's super cool!

I love this perspective so much. Fantastic piece

I like the Disney looking one. Second from top right.

"I am very sweet!" 🗡️

What does it feel like, being good at something?

She stole my executive functioning like the aliens in Space Jam.

Is a TellTale-esque A Christmas Carol game where you play as Scrooge anything? Chapters 1 & 5, pre and post ghosts. Chapters 2, 3, & 4, the ghosts. Choices would be how horrible you are, and whether you are able to ultimately be redeemed in the end depends on your choices with each ghost.

Good ones I hope

Love me a good Bible joke

Black and white thinker here. Constantly told things are "more complicated" than that. Maybe you're making them more complicated!

Neurodivergence is being mocked your whole life for being "weird" because you're different, then after years of social trauma finally learning to embrace your differences only to be told "everyone is like that, you're not special" 😒🤦‍♀️

I'm so glad I got the chance to see it in theaters in its short release window. Such a captivating film. A couple neck bolts would've been a nice touch though

"Have you tried not being depressed?" lol
