I turned down an NFT project that offered me close to half a million dollars to make a bunch of Photoshop layers that could be used to generate a bunch of nfts. I don't care what they offer, no amount of money will ever get me to use layers.

Twitter is a good reminder that in modern society, there is nothing more terrifying than a person without a creative (or physical) hobby that they're very passionate about. Just joyless people spreading misery.

Stop letting AI art defenders obfuscate the details. Dataset collection and training is not a transformative act. Data compression and encoding does not bypass legal protection, no matter how foreign it may appear to our human standards.

Meanwhile, in reality land, countless artists like myself have dedicated lives to providing free and accessible art education to all. Why? Because we want to share the joy of art with as many people as we can.

Digital devices are not afforded the same "observational rights" as humans. You can't just buy an extra ticket for a video camera and take it to watch Avatar with you. And you're definitely not allowed to sell those "observations" no matter how compressed the format.

In order to help artists advocate for themselves against "AI" rhetoric, I'm going to give a quick run down of current US laws regarding copyright and fair use. (A quick disclaimer: there are currently NO direct legal precedents established for AI art training) 1/🧵

It can't be overstated how abhorrent it is to even mildly suggest that criminal behavior stems from genetics/skin tone and not material conditions/poverty. Like, holy shit, it's 2023, how is anyone remotely tolerating this.

It's the CEO of Epic saying something so dumb that it has 84,000+ views and 20 likes. Apparently he doesn't know what gatekeeping is OR what legally qualifies as fair use.

We're not locking AI out by default, because that would turn Epic into a "You can't make AI" gatekeeper by default and prohibit uses that would fall under copyright law's fair use rules.

No one should deal with threats obviously, but you can't expect to maintain admiration of fans if you go in a direction that opposes their ethical standards. If you have conviction in your ethical standards, then accept that you will lose the support of people who oppose them?
Nfts has damaged my reputation so much In the art community. I don't get anywhere near much work as I did anymore,lost friends, many followers, signed up to spam and vulgar things constantly, hate mail, death threats. I think everyone in nfts has experienced all of the above

It's always amazing how much casual racism exists on both the right and left when it comes to interracial couples. I'm ashamed to say I'm guilty of it too, despite being in an interracial marriage for many years, I still catch myself judging other interracial couples.

But also, like, they know that the point of the golden ratio isn't to trace a curve, right? (It's meant to represent ratios of ideally observable hierarchy). That gif is literally just marketing bullshit to sell the design to dumb CEOs.

It is a nice reminder that the poison route is always open. Even if this didn't work, it could just become standard practice to upload a borked version alongside everything you post. We could have a weird social media negaverse where AIs generate a poison version of everything.

Was originally going to also do an april fools joke related to NFTs, but instead I'll just leave this creation here. The corniest genre of NFTs are the ones that just tack in references to crypto/elon musk/glitch art to desperately appeal to crypto-audiences.

$30 per hour should be considered base level minimum for any art job from even a beginner artist. Any client not willing to pay that is not a proper client. Don't get bullied. (If you want to charge less for casual fun stuff from peers and friends, that's certainly up to you)

The art community as a whole does provide a huge source of happiness for me, and I was only able to get to where I am today by adjusting my philosophy and making the idea of art more about the joy of the process rather than the end products. (->)

Social media can feel frustrating for a lot of artists, but there are two mentalities that have kept it a super positive place for me where I can be genuinely happy in other's successes. 1. I'm an art fanatic first, and an artist second. 2. "A rising tide lifts all boats."
