A quoted tweet from a user named Sam that reads: "How Twitter is rigged
Type in all caps because you're excited? Lowers your reputation. Include links? Your score goes down. It's like the Credit Score system from Hell.
And given Cisgender is treated as a slur & MAGA boosted, you can guess what's categorized as 'offensive'" 

The tweet they quoted is from user SADIQ and reads: 
"Tweepcred is X's reputation system
Based on your behavior, you get a tweepcred score
It determines your reach
Break the algo rules, you score goes down and your reach disappears
What are the rules of the X algo tho? Glad you asked."

SADIQ includes a photo of Twitter's algorithm code that calculates a user's reputation.

SADIQ continues:
"Post 'offensive text'? 80% reach reduction
Offensive username? 80% reach reduction
All caps tweet? That's seen as 'shouting. Major penalization.
Include links? Yup, penalized"

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

New TF/WG story has been uploaded to FA!

A rather anxious young man ends up taking the plunge to be turned into a wererat, and luckily for him, the method to be transformed is just plain euphoric...

For @ben300.bsky.social, who also did the artwork used here!

A digital art piece of a human transforming into a big brown bear. His pale skin is almost completely covered up by brown fur, with only a few patches of skin left untouched on his leg, arms, back, and face. His eyes are shifting from their natural blue to a piercing yellow, his hair shifting into the same brown coating his body from its original dirty blond. The remnants of a green shirt, blue pants, and underwear cling to his body as they rip apart.

I thought I'd be just fine, going out into the woods alone at night... Until I was jumped by a bear. Luckily for me, I only got a little nip. Unluckily, that was enough to trigger an incredible change... Now, this bear's craving lots of honey! 🐻

A digital art piece depicting Watermelon, a green and red leopard gecko, and Zaelgolin, a black dragon with purple accents. The two have been inflated like balloons with helium, floating high above the ground with hoses tethered to their puffy, helium-filled bodies. Their bodies are marked with the brandings of "Gecko Helium" and "Dragon Helium". They stare at one another with wide, nervous eyes as they float high, high up into the air above the streets below, their puffy cheeks and helium-filled limbs shining in the sunlight.

Two competing brands of helium needed some promotional material, and me and @zaelgolin.bsky.social happened to fit their branding perfectly.

But now we're both filled beyond capacity, creaking with helium strrreeeetching our hides to their limits for all to see!

Three part comic featuring Calgor, an traditional persian cat and Liz, an orpington buff hen.

First panel: Calgor is sitting at his desk looking angry at the monitor, one hand on the mouse while the other is up in exasperation. β€œ95% to hit and it misses … again!” he says while Liz looms up from behind looking at Calgor with some curiosity.

Second panel: Profile view of Calgor with his arms held up to the computer monitor β€œI swear it happens all the time!” he exclaims. Meanwhile Liz is being him lifting the shirt and her immense breasts up above the cat's head. An X-Com style targeting HUD is at the bottom showing that β€œDrop (Booba)” is guaranteed to land on target.

Third panel: Liz drops her huge breasts down smothering Calgor entirely, only his shocked tail and arms can be seen. The sheer force of those boobs smacking down causes the computer monitors, keyboard and mouse to fly up into the air. Another X-Com HUD appears marking that infinity damage has been done.

Sometimes your partner gets a little too invested in a videogame and measures need to be taken to take his mind off the stress of it all. Don't worry, he will be fine!

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Did a simple animation today. Also had a dream last night that inspired this. I really want to get into animation again, but ADHD has just been in control of me as of late. Hope I can do more with this eventually. #blueberryinflation #Veemon

AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page:

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! πŸ™‚πŸ’–

i think it's fine that my concept art friends don't have jobs anymore because they're first on the chopping block for layoffs and executives are happy to offload that shit to midjourney and pinterest!!! the game's really fun though so it's fine!!!!

i think it's good actually that a videogame prominently featuring AI voice acting is finding success while my VA friends haven't found steady work in years and have their rates forcibly ground into dust over the few reliable gigs left

but hey the game is really fun right!!!!!!!
