GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

DC Comics characters Poison Ivy, Janet from HR, and Peter Undine passing by a diner full of people who have died mid activity. Plants and moss are growing out of the customers and creeping into the scene.

Linked in post of, Yann LeCun, the Chief Scientist at Meta. He says as follows: Every institution, library, foundation, cultural group, and government around the world that possesses cultural content should make it available for training ***free and open*** Al foundation models. Free and open Al systems will constitute the repository of all human knowledge and culture. Perhaps someone could draft a new content license to that effect: "you can use our content to train your Al system, but only if you make it freely available with open weights and open source inference code."

Ah nothing like reading the Chief AI Scientist at Meta and a“godfather” of GenAi advocate for the outright pillaging of all of our creative works. Thank you for letting us know our livelihoods and work mean nothing, as long as their dear for profit tech has fodder to train with. 👍

Another day at Bluesky, and it looks like growth is not slowing down! Welcome!

black and white drawing of a dragon sitting on a cliff, looking over its shoulder with the last star above its head

“Before the last star burnt out, the dragon took a final look back, at all the things that were, all the things that had been. It sighs and the final light vanishes.”

A green spell depicting a giant wolf made out of smaller wolves as well as even smaller wolves - to say nothing of the even smaller wolves - emerges from a flash of light against a dark sky and distant hills.

A close up of the head and front legs.

Oversimplification for Strixhaven Commander, MTG
AD: Zack Stella

From the art brief: "..the wolf's form is made up of a bunch of smaller WOLVES. If we could look closer, we might imagine that each of those smaller wolves is likewise made up of smaller wolves, and so on."

So that was fun!

I had heaps of creative freedom here, it just had to be a magical deer in a snowy forest with rainbows. So I made it about the magic of (ancient deer spirit) teamwork!

A small green dragon with pink petal-like glowing wings stands on a rose branch and tries to lick one of the stars in the background.

Please, meet George. George is a flower dragon who aspires to lick a star. He's very ambitious.
