Floris ✧*✦ @ trying out new names

You'll probably see me varying Fecske, Floris, Villo and Vili around places cause I'm a creature of many names

additional context that in Hungary you can't just pick any name, there's two binary list and we're limited to pick based on the sex assigned at birth, and finding neutral sounding names is nearly impossible. So besides the exploring i have to find ways to "cheat" this system to change my name :\

I know I haven't been active here in a while due to illness and burnout, but I'm experimenting with some new names again and picked up Vili /Willow / Villo next to Floris to see how it feels🫡

A dragon head descends from darkness, smoke trailing from its open mouth. A multitude of hands reach from its throat, almost like a tongue, together they grasp the hilt of a gold, shining sword.

Sharp tongue

A reminder that GenAI exists solely so that CEOs don't have to pay creative and skilled people for labor. And it's up to us as consumers to generate as much backlash against this shit as humanly possible.

At the mountains of madness.

You know what? 2026 is the year I'm not playing nice anymore.

If copyright means so little to use A / I for playing around, here's one of his book for free:

Color and Light James Gurney [English] : Free Download, Internet Archive share.google/qjDjFS6QhhZJ...

An illustration of a snow white skinned lady with pale blue hair and blue clothes, lined with cloud like fur, a gentle smile on her face: she is the personification of the north wind, bringing in the cold and the snow.

i forgot to post this here..... happy holidays albeit a bit late

I did *not* manage to post this in November #MeetTheArtist

"AI is here to stay, might as well use it" is such a weak, lazy and dismissive argument. You know the damage it's doing, you know the lives, careers and industries it's destroying and you refuse to take a stand. The thief already stepped in, might as well let him take everything in my house I guess!

“AI is ok as long as it’s not taking anyone’s job” and whose work is it trained on. Did you forget that it’s a bunch of stolen fucking shit? Are we moving the goalposts already? “it’s sticking around so you have to get used to it, be realistic” no I don’t. Eat my shit and hair

if you’re not an artist with experience in studio environments it might be hard to appreciate just how much genAI feels like a conman claiming to have made a gun that kills artists and every ceo lunging for it and pulling the trigger a few times

learning the gun doesn’t really work isn’t a comfort

Dude... give me the bottle

Important PSA: I hope you never see other artists as competition. Please take their success as proof that you can also succeed here.

just a collection of "inevitable" multi-billion dollar tech that was going to be the future of everything until everyone in the audience who was supposed to just get on board said "lol no"

I'm very sad to say this is going on at almost every studio behind the scenes rn, and artists aren't being listened to, and I'm losing my mind in the background

Now that the Larian news are out can someone tell me how to convince someones place of employment to not fall into the same mistake. Literally any resources to help them understand that jumping on the AI bandwagon is a horrible idea

Behind every bad decision with backlash is a team of artists going "I told you so"

A meme of a cow by the sea with a caption "I can't go the rest of my life asking if it's AI or not"

To quote @lukeplunkett.com :

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to
