Just discovered that #Midjourney is bypassing copyright and IP by allowing 'sref' (style reference) prompting instead of using artist names. Just another way of thieving... Still doesn't make it legal! 🖕(deleted the link to prevent promotion)

Super happy with this one!!

'Only 2% of British respondents saying they use such tools on a daily basis.'

Most overhyped technology ever.

Raffiti's channel is awesome, worth a sub: youtu.be/hU615m4158U?si…

The majority of my audience will already be onboard with this sentiment, but I want to broadcast this video to a wider audience.

This is a must-watch for all businesses that leverage content marketing. Platforms are waking up, bubble is about to pop.

The Verge didn't 'choose' this image. They hired the artist Álvaro Bernis (whose name is cropped from the screenshot) to create an original illustration. Not for the first time, I find myself wondering: do we actually care about artists, or do we simply hate AI?

Legislators worldwide need to require AI companies to keep records of their training data.

There are already cases of AI companies deleting datasets and records after training is complete. This hinders copyright infringement lawsuits, and is entirely without justification.

Hey ⁦Adobe⁩, I just came across these AI generated images of zorillas. Just wanted to let you know that these are not images of zorillas.

I’m so happy I religiously glazed every piece of art (and nightshaded few) that would go on Instagram. I still don’t understand how is this legal?

'it's legal for us to steal from you as long as you don't notice/can't prove it' is WIIILD - again, imagine if literally ANYTHING ELSE worked this way

I'm still waiting to find something made with AI that impresses me, when that happens I'll delete this account

These Tree bumblebees are fanning their nest to keep it cool 🌡️

Most UK bumblebees nest on or underground. Tree bumblebees, however, prefer to nest high above the ground – bird boxes containing old bird nests are a firm favourite 🐦

Have you spotted a Tree bumblebee nest?

Macroblock Sure, but I'm not trying to market something, I just want to make my art and share it with people that might want to see it. I love the craft and love'd to get in contact with people and share experiences, yet even with a big online presences it seems almost impossible. -

I'm still working on making some videos tho to help people. Also making online lessons for people to learn etc. I love to pass my experience and knowledge on, it just takes some time for me to process and be in better situation job wise, which will likely happen in 2026.

The amount of bs you have to do to protect your art is insane, for something that is already protected by default.

Additionally, from basically 'everyone' using your art without permission or giving something back, we're being exploited by big companies and studios, is just gr.

I'm done posting on platforms online. Will look into building a website behind a login you need to see my art. Or maybe just use my patron exclusively. Probably also just step back and create my own game.

Yeah wtf is this. I got rejected for opting out??? So what now? I quit using instagram forever and just accept that every image I ever posted is going into their machine?

a perfect timing to freshly develope a Sailor Moon obsesion #wip

Follow up thread: I interrogated Meta AI about opting out of data collection, it admitted my choice may not be honored, I backed it into a corner, it backtracked to confirm opt out upheld with full confidence 🧐
