I was right by the way. I can't *recall* when one of these reprehensibly greedy tech companies actually did something that is good for the user. https://t.co/dELEAZ0Vk0

When Dropbox was caught sending user data to Open AI, it got me wondering if Microsoft will eventually just secretely scrape whatever's one your Windows desktop. I used to think that was far-fetched. But then I also used to think tech companies care one iota about privacy.

Many websites are only free because the business model is exploiting our data. Cara is NOT that

Cara is free because Jingna is paying $13k/month out of pocket

If we want platforms that are ethical, we need to make that financially possible. Please consider donating to Cara!!

ChatGPT has only been here for 18 months and people suddenly can't get work done when it goes down? It's a chatbot, not a power outage.

People's skills are atrophying in real time thanks to AI, and they're happy to broadcast it. What a world.

[RJ Palmer 🔜 LBX 637 @arvalis]

Oh sick so you can actually get codes to vouch for artists saying they wont post gen AI. You get a little briefcase by your name when you've been vouched.

Also man you can customize your home feed ratio. I know why its not but this really should be standard on all platforms!!

[Jingna Zhang @zemotion]

We passed 500,000 users.

Half a million—I can't even.

It's been moving to see so many people enjoy the platform despite our many issues. Thank you for your patience. I hope our community will always remain encouraging & supportive like we are today. Half a million strong. ❤️

@art_dweeeb I'm on there.

Jon Stewart reveals that Apple wouldn't let him interview FTC Chair Lina Khan.

"They literally said, please don't talk to her."

[bymanus @art_bymanus]

Get their asses.

[Tom Warren @tomwarren]

the FTC has complained to a federal appeals court about Microsoft's 1,900 Activision Blizzard and Xbox layoffs. The FTC argues the move undermines Microsoft's claims that Activision Blizzard would operate independently https://t.co/d7pQTCpQfn

[Benjamin (leaving for 🦋@benjami.no) @stealcase]

This genuinely breaks my heart.

This was what everyone was warning SAG-AFTRA about. This is why everyone was worried. Not to sow dissent, but genuine worry.

Scanning for AI can not be a condition to get work. Otherwise, you are iced out.

Coercion is not consent.

[Sierra | Toraccel 🏎️🐯 @Toraccel_]

As more media companies toss aside their artists, here's something I don't see anyone talk about

MuseDash credits loading/title screen artists in its gallery, but in the PC version you also get the option be taken directly to their socials or portfolio sites while ingame.

[Tamoor Hussain @tamoorh]

Spent billions on acquiring Activision Blizzard King. Gave Kotick millions on his way out. Made billions in Q4 of 2023 alone.

This is what corporate consolidation does because this is what corporate consolidation is all about. Absolute disgrace.

[neil turkewitz @neilturkewitz]

Anthropic, like OpenAI before it, makes the unintentional—but compelling—case for banning general purpose AI models:

“If licenses were required to train LLMs on copyrighted content, today’s general-purpose AI tools simply could not exist.”

Warning for 3D Artists! 🚨
You may see this gizmo in your 3D software

Do NOT touch it!

Scaling a mesh is a highly deceptive practice subject to legal penalties up to & including life in prison.

You wouldn't scale something in real life so why is this okay?

It's not worth it

[bymanus @art_bymanus]

@RikuNKMR1 Haha, true. Though this dorky in a way that is very unlikely to be fondly remembered three decades on.

[bymanus @art_bymanus]

Yes when I put on my VR headset I always flip it around like a goddamn switchblade and I certainly don't have to fumble around with it a bunch until it sits comfortably.

[bymanus @art_bymanus]

@Nickwheee Damn right.❤️

[bymanus @art_bymanus]

@Ghoul__Chan @NecroKuma3 True! That won't necessarily stop them from trying though.

Adobe wants to take YOUR work without your consent! They just snuck this toggle into everyone's account settings and set it "on" be default 🚨 shit should be fucking illegal. RT and share please

VFX artists have long been abused by the industry. Vendor-side artists make up the vast majority of workers on your favorite movies, especially AVATAR.

Its been a long time comin' 💙
