    Horny Overlords
  • The of the first episode of my Ai series Beyond The Valley ends with this fun fact. This meme nails my intention perfectly chefs kiss Thanks for sharing.

  • Lemmy.world update: Downtime today / Cloudflare
  • Commercial interest wants to see free communities like this die out. I won't name names.

    Red Armchair [OC]
  • Here's a full breakdown instead (warning: big file)

  • Red Armchair [OC]
  • The whole comic is actually Ai but the characters, especially Victor, are derivative of traditional sketches and character art. I essentially establish the composition with Ai then superimpose my own style on top of it.

  • Does this place really have 12k subscribers and no posts in 4 days?
  • 12k ain't that much. I run a sub of 75k and they only amass two or three posts a day max unless something happens. Just post your OC if it bothers you.

    Hollywood Shuts Down After 160,000 Actors Walk Off the Set
  • I do too hope the strikes are successful. That said, you've likely already been consuming generative technology for some time now. Disney alone has nearly a decade of research into it already. Advanced VFX applications use all sorts of generative tech too. When I was working in LA we referenced public data all the time. I know it's gotten a huge spotlight on it given private AI capitalizing/evangelizing it all but the very real threat of digital scabs taking people's jobs needs the biggest spotlight right now. I do think the tables will turn if nothing good can come out of Hollywood and those artists begin weaponizing that same tech against the execs. I see what studios are doing as no different than impersonation & identity theft by using this tech to limit working hours to skirt union protections.

  • Hollywood Shuts Down After 160,000 Actors Walk Off the Set
  • Gonna offer my two cents as someone who entered the industry during the last writer's strike. You'll see some interesting creative divergence as said creatives crave expression and reach out to new venues like YouTube for the first time. It was one of many changes to the industry at that (and now this) time. I use generative tech because it's part of this exploration of the taboo. Back then, YouTube was the taboo because it was effectively working for free and with no insurance or protection by comparison to a stable studio gig. Take away the studio gig, anything and everything could be opportunity for change and especially so the longer this goes on tbf.

    I am a former VFX artist for a few [adultswim] shows who's been using AI since Thanksgiving '21 and Midjourney since the beta release as well as open source alternatives like Stable Diffusion. You can read the comic in full here: https://www.victorgnarly.com/stories/project-four-l3zw3-sl66r

    The Baconing of AI Imagery

    I'm a former VFX artist for Robot Chicken and a few other [adultswim] shows. These are a few of my initial thoughts on AI imagery after 1 year in the can. Excuse my vtubers model, as I'm not fully condemning AI I've had to hide my identity a bit after some nasty was thrown my way online. Won't stop me from making content though. Take care!

    The Beconing (of Ai Imagery)

    Hi! I am a former VFX artist for a few [adultswim] shows who has been using generative imagery for about a year now. My take is very nuanced without a cheering endorsement or condemnation of Ai imagery. If anyone has questions or comments, please post them below. Thanks for watching.

  • Also mods largely abandoned their posts so toxic stuff is ever more now.

  • YSK: Lemmy DOES have a karma system
  • I know my comic praising lemmy for no karma added to the confusion on this but I do appreciate that lemmy.world does not feature the server karma on profiles for reasons already said in the comments. Thanks for clarifying.

  • This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads
  • It'd be a luxury for me to delete insta but as a cartoonist that'd be just shooting myself in the foot. That said. I don't have a FB anymore and only content post to both IG and Reddit these days. I do all my hangin' here now :)

  • Lemmy.world (and some others) were hacked
  • Thanks that worked :)

  • Had to clear my browser catch to log in, Jerboa still shows as not logged in even after logging out which you do by clicking the hamburger menu then click the top banner to change/log out of accounts. This post is a test to see if my account works again via browser lol.

    Edit: clearing app data/cache for Jerboa fixed the login issue.

  • This place needs content, can't have your cake and eat it too. Just unfollow the reddit sub if you don't want to see it.

  • Hopped up on federated goofballs [OC]

    Now before y'all throw pitchforks at me for a number of simplifications I made here, I did so with intent so let me break them down real quick.

    1. Threads is not yet federated. The whole discussion of should or shouldn't we federate with the zucks is not the subject of this piece. Rather, it's that many of us came to Lemmy to escape much of what is on commercial social media in the first place. I found this post ironic in that sense which is why I made it.

    2. Digital pollution is a catch all for data pollution, generative spam, devaluation of digital media, link rot, algorithmic monotony and climate change caused by mining + generative tech. I really didn't want to get into the nitty gritty of the internet's zombification with this comic so that's the phrase I went with.

    3. Antithetical is a bit extreme of a statement but I do not believe that you can have artificial scarcity if generative tech exists. There will inevitably be a few cryptobros that really hate this take but oh well.

    4. I am unapologetic about my use of Ai because most of my comics are about Ai's impact on entertainment. Although I am relatively sure this crowd isn't as offended as the art communities, I had a career in Hollywood VFX before my current job as a creative consultant. And I'm old enough that Ai feels like deja vu to the emergence of digital art and then 3D which ended my first career in stopmotion effects. In short, been there done that!

    Second largest Lemmy instance preemptively un-friends Facebook
  • So that settles it. We have an option if meta federated and it goes to shit. Lemmy.world's stance is correct. Let's just see how this goes.

  • free at last
  • Perpetually uncanny

  • Is Lemmy THE reddit alternative for you? Are you thinking about moving somewhere else?
  • No there's a lot of fearmongering over meta's new app Threads which is going to be federated eventually which means you can see their posts here too if so. The server admins can defederate from meta if it's a problem in the future so these empty threats of leaving or whatever is just noise. Try to ignore it.
