Every time I see gen AI, it’s a reminder that these apps stole my artwork directly from my storefront images and made me close my redbubble shop - a large portion of my income.
I have to make handicrafts now because of these apps to get by.
I mean I guess that’s my problem, not yours. Still sucks

Is this genAI, or did someone actually draw this?
Closest I have rn is this version in a sport grey on my Neatoshop - I've been meaning to do a "dark shirt" version so the letters show up better on blacks and dark greys.

I'd love to tape up one of the banker boxes I have full of sun catchers in the $40-$60 range I've made (approx 30 of them? probably more?) and send it to someone who has a "neat things" shop with large sunny windows somewhere and let them take a 30% cut of whatever they make from them...
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
I own a male cat named Daisy. He came to us as Charlotte - and half feral to boot.
We're testing an updated release of Glaze for NVidia 50xx GPUs. If you have one of those chips, and want to help us test out the new binary, add a comment below. We just need a few volunteers to make sure the new binary works as planned. Thx.
I really do miss it there

If you heard about a giant snake getting loose in various places up here years back - same guy owned him, too
He lived in an unfinished multi story house he built with his dad off and on and this gator would hang out on like the 2nd or 3rd floor and use the iron spiral staircase that went all the way up as his personal slide every time he heard the doorbell ring

No words to describe the experience of seeing an overhead corona aurora at THE SAME TIME as a total lunar eclipse--this happened last night on our aurora workshop. Crazy experience. The aurora was so bright and the snow glowed green under the blood moon.

I live in Alaska and would know better LOL although a friend of mine did keep one for a long time before it finally got too big and he had to give him up
First photograph of a sculpture of a Werewolf-goddess holding the moon with Candles on the moon During the dark winter days the moon is lighting up the darkness. The wolf takes the form of a goddess, because they both share a fate. Once seen in high regard both have been shunned by humans leading warfare against nature, the wolf & the female body Both them became associated with sin & evil forces, degraded by the urges & greed of mankind Sun carrier became sun eater disregarding the cycle of rebirth, goddess became the evil witch...
Second fulll body shot
Side view without candles but smoke instead
Detail shot of the head with smoke
"Mother Moon"
For my project "Solarcvlt"
Winter slowly fading & in many folklores the wolf was animal of this transitionary time between "life & death"
Wolves mate in the deep of winter now the she-wolf is symbolically carrying the young sun into the new year.
