Let's flip the script on this Kid Omega fiasco.

I just donated the ad revenue from my Kid Omega video to the charity Child's Play, and it'd be amazing to get them some $100 donations in honor of Kid Omega (or of course anything you feel good about giving). Here's a link: https://t.co/AwgCC0NJSD

If you didn't know, Child's Play was started by Penny Arcade (yes the dudes with the variants and bundles), and supports children's hospitals by providing games to kids. My wife was a nurse at our local children's hospital for 10 years and has seen the big impact this can have on keeping them happy and healthy for long hospital stays.

Maybe we can make some sick kids lives a little better!

@MARVELSNAP I wish I’d known to save gold instead of refreshing missions; won’t make it to the finish line

@RegisKillbin The only CCG (and I’ve played a lot) I’ve easily been able to access most cards for, with next to no budget, was Runeterra…
which is not doing so great right now

@bramstokerdub We have a ticket for the Dublin Castle event at 6pm, we’ve arrived in the city centre early. Is there any chance we can make our way in now?

I took a look at the impact of disposable vapes following a chat with @smytho. Just 1.4% of the million sold each week in Ireland are recycled, they're causing fires and 'getting kids hooked' says the minister. He's had concerns a ban wasn't possible 👇

@MARVELSNAP Having trouble picking up the Pass, are there any known errors?

[Karla Ortiz @kortizart]

Getting so tired of game execs rewarding the hard work and success of dev teams with massive layoffs.

Take a dang pay cut or step down if your mismanagement is the reason people might lose their livelihoods! Take some damn responsibility, and not whatever this evil coward bs is.

4/5 Lastly, instead of giving excuses to why you’re using GenAi and blaming others for correctly pointing out GenAi’s issues, just demand better from GenAi companies.

GenAi didn’t need to be exploitative to creatives, the public and the environment. It was a deliberate choice.

[Karla Ortiz @kortizart]

Were you laid off by Bungie yesterday and found out yesterday, as opposed to 60 days ago?

I’d like to point you all to the 1998 WARN act. And suggest to record everything, organize and maybe consider seeking legal counsel.

Internet of Bugs YouTube video about the issues with the Devin video is the kind of skeptics view of AI claims we all need right now.

We are deep in silicon snake oil and will be as folks learn more about what is real here.

@Carrot_breath @aeolignian Not sure if it would jeopardize our careers. But it is incredibly simple to verify that we don't want your data. Glaze & Nightshade both work without internet access. They send no data out except occasional check for updates. Install on offline PC, then run. That's fine with us.

[The Glaze Project, at UChicago @TheGlazeProject]

Today is the day. Nightshade v1.0 is ready. Performance tuning is done, UI fixes are done.

You can download Nightshade v1.0 from
https://t.co/knwLJSRrRh

Please read the what-is page and also the User's Guide on how to run Nightshade. It is a bit more involved than Glaze

@mesh @Adobe Here's another full page of art using a real artist's real name.

Look Mike, this isn't my job. This isn't something any of us should ever have to do. This is a violation, definitely ethically, possibly legally.

Adobe would not exist without artists. STOP THIS NOW.

[Wetterschneider @Stretchedwiener]

2 MONTHS LATER...

@adobe is still profiting off the work of artists.

[Wetterschneider @Stretchedwiener]

@beeple @Adobe 101 results for @Rossdraws - it would be interesting to find out how he feels about Adobe making money off his name? Again, maybe he doesn't mind. Maybe he doesn't mind all these images that aren't his and send the wrong message about what his work looks like...?

[Wetterschneider @Stretchedwiener]

Let's ask @Artgerm how he feels about the 600-700 images Adobe is selling using his name at $80 a pop.

PSA: The Chamber of Progress is not your friend, they're an astroturfing front funded by big tech to further corporate interests. They exist solely to protect and further the agendas of the biggest names in tech, they couldn't care less about fair use or artists. 🚩🚩🚩

[Barry Keegan @BarKeegan]

@Rahll @ProgressChamber Hard to think of anything more parisitic

[Marge Nelk @NelkMarge]

@ProgressChamber By the "opponents of fair use" they mean all artists whose works they stole and are using for commercial purposes, which is not fair use at all. What a joke!
