Hello Twitter. I think it is time I introduced those of you who have not met them ....To the black and yellow broadbill. They look like a cartoon come to life, and I love them.

Every time I see a convention table, especially in artists alleys. Taken by someone who buy's a cheap filament printer. Takes free or stolen files, only to mass produce this sort of stuff for $10. Drives me insane lmao. I am so sick of seeing these things aaaa!

- Domestic cats are detrimental to, and belong in NO natural environment
- Cats are not some magical animal that -needs- to free roam to be happy. Just like pet dogs.
- Barn cats are ineffective pest control
- If you can not enrich a cat in your own home, a cat is not for you.

Juat gonna make it clear as this is getting more traction than I planned haha. I am not against selling 3D prints (I am a digital sculptor that does just that!) This is very specifically about people selling designs they did not make/sculpt in artists spaces (artist alley/events)

"Let us stand up against the people, who's very works we have used without any form of compensation, nor asking. Property that is needed for our toy to work...To save creativity that was never denied us in the first place (because anyone can learn to draw/paint)." In a nutshell

A good example of one of the more real/current issues of AI gen destroying opportunities for real artists in action. These parasites fill up hard to secure convention spaces. Out competing true artists there via sheer volume of stolen work. These people deserve no respect.
Another convention weekend, another AI booth. This massive booth is at C2E2 and EVERYTHING you see is AI art.

Not to mention, the belief that you have to even be "great" or a "known name" at all. An old issue. But online media has definitely awoken the beast again. People need to learn that living, and enjoying that life is a gift in itself. Even if not through fame, others will see you.

No. Artists share their work online for you to see for free (which is wonderful.) & to advertise for prospective work. But that is not a automatic pass for anyone to freely use it, ESPECIALLY not for profit, like what AI companies are doing. Our work is our legal property.

- Belief that a cat needs to roam to be happy is cultural and emotional habit. Bad habits can, and will change in time.
- Pointing out the problematic ownership of outdoor cats is not a personal attack. It is a attempt to educate a world heavily settled in a detrimental habit.

I am hugely against subscription software. In a profession where contracts are all over the place, and income not always steady. This business model punishes artists and restricts them from being able to work when most vulnerable. And the cost (before this hike) is disgusting

Probably a good time to remind people on here, that just because you see someone you know following a problematic person. Does not mean they agree with their behaviour. Many are not forever online/aware of twitter drama/or may even be watching for other reasons (to be informed.)

The death of DA is truly heartbreaking. It was a starting point for many of us. & our community, inspiration & home for a large portion of our creative lives. To see WIX take it, and turn against all of us who made it the success it is today. Is maddening, and depressing to watch

I definitely feel Cara needs a premium subscription base some how. But I don't agree with him on that fact it should be $5 a month full stop. It's a common logic I see from many American companies that absolutely ignore that conversion rates are killer for their global userbase.

Oh yea, I've seen so many this year. I think they assume they can get away with saying they "made" them personally. Because they tweaked the file/filament colour settings to place on their printer, and pulling the supports off lol.
"Made" in my mind, is you sculpted the design.

Studies of Keyfeathers. Pushing the marsupial look. She hops like a Bilby/Roo/Parrot, using the motion to launch into flight! She is a Faery, around the size of a small dove. Her wings have Cicada like windows within the feathers. They molt naturally and grow back when damaged.

This is still not a win for artists. Your AI system is still founded on scraped stolen work, much of which does originate from DA, and many other art platforms. You have created a band-aid response to try and placate our concerns.

Their advertising is so telling too. Pretty much saying they want to make our skills more accessible to all, with the click of a button. It's all about using our own lifetimes of learning, and what we have shared against us. To make our skills a easy cheap commodity. It's so sad

Bait or not. This is just a more blatant example of the nasty bullying side of the use of AI against living artists. Every time you type a living artists name into your AI you are doing this. Every AI is already trained unethically like this, & is the main reason I can't support.

You people are so obsessed in this tech, and exploiting people as much as possible. You don't even pause to think if this is even needed. Automation of the arts is not needed, and this particular tech will do nothing but harm the creatives it souced, and those its used against.
