@TessasMaps Hey! Sorry to bother, but could I possibly send you a tip? I just bought your Planescape maps and it's way too much content for the price!

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI).

I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right.

Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird.

I open my original photo.
No bra showing.

I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF...

Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨

Immediately, I email the conference host.
(FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.)

He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue.

He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website.

She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller.

AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯

FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

While I absolutely see the logic in his argument and agree with him in principle, I can't empathise with a millionaire, and reffering to his business as 'small' is just farcical.

Amazon is a broken mess.
I have done over $50,000,000 on amazon.
They dont care about me as a seller, partner, or person.

I uploaded this design patent

Was told “stop contacting me”

What went wrong inside amazon?
why do they hate small businesses and the law?

A thread:
