AI models collapse when trained on recursively generated data - Naturewww.nature.com  Analysis shows that indiscriminately training generative artificial intelligence on real and generated content, usually done by scraping data from the Internet, can lead to a collapse in th...

Was about to turn in for the night until I saw one of my floating shelves at an odd angle. So I guess it's time to play "rearrange my room in the middle of the night and try to find no existent space for things"!

This would make me frown+scowl under my mask and walk away to another cafe.

To respond to what is becoming a frequently-asked question, a note from Dark Horse regarding AI-generated material:

From my archives! A bit of #illustration and #design work I did back when I worked on Gamago products. If anyone has ever seen these in the wild (I don't think it is in the wild anymore), please know that I went through so many iterations (aka so much pain) before I got that vampire approved.

This sad survey has become an annual tradition. For the fourth year in a row, when asked to name a single famous Asian American, the most common answer was "I can't think of one." Followed by "Jackie Chan" (who is not American) and "Bruce Lee" (who is not alive). www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-a...

Most Americans can't name a famous Asian American, survey findswww.nbcnews.com A recent survey found 52% of people couldn't name a single famous Asian American. Nine percent named the actor Jackie Chan, who is not American.

A seasonal wave of #Covid is sweeping across the U.S., driven by the FLiRT variants, a trio of the latest #SARSCoV2 mutants making the rounds. So no, it's not your imagination. People are getting Covid again www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

Yep, people are getting COVID againwww.seattletimes.com A seasonal COVID-19 wave appears to be underway with cases growing or likely growing in 39 states.

Just realized that my profile still had my instagram link up. It's been updated to my Cara now 👍: cara.app/johnneedee

If Canada ends up going the other way (as in that jackass Poliviere becoming PM) I will scream.

OK, so this week: - UK Tories wiped out (I know, I know) - Iran votes in a reform PM (I know, I know) - France does this Sometimes, folks, there are glimmers.

JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: —Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) —Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. —No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧵 for results and more:

Pretty sure I made my profile pic way back in 2021, so I'm thinking perhaps it's time that I should make a new one 🤔

I think I finally have a new idea for a card game that I’ll make for myself and not be done for a company.

working on a presentation for tomorrow and I couldn't resist making space to slag on AI. Good work resonates because it's human.

Comics are for everyone. Not “every comic is for everyone.” More like “there is a comic for everyone.” And also “every comic is for someone.” What else can I overthink for you?

This is solidarity!

An anime concert made its flyer art with generative AI, which led to Evangelion singer Yoko Takahashi pulling out of her planned guest performance:

Unemployment log: it's been about 2 months since I got laid off, but the silver lining is that I'm 3 games deep into my 30ish video game backlog (I'm actually not sure how many video games that I've bought but haven't finished/played there are, all I know is that there's a lot 😅)

Saw this come up on FB and wtf 🤬 Adobe and Meta just being absolute dipsticks

Finally thinking that I should try to find representation as an illustrator but I have no idea where to start now

An extensive project from a few years back. I designed & illustrated (logo, design elements, figure variants, & packaging) a series of "lucky cat" products. Products included: fridge magnets, playing cards, a tin sign, & a calendar. 1/2 #ToyDesign #GraphicDesign #PackagingDesign #Illustration #Art

This applies to artists too!! This is why sites like kofi or cara or anywhere don't allow sexual images, it's the credit card's fault, so sign this if you either draw NSFW, or know anyone who does

The ACLU is gonna take action against Mastercard for their anti-porn stance. Please consider signing.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.action.aclu.org Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

Got an alert for a new job posting. Was interested until I saw this: "As part of the recruitment process, an assignment will be required to be completed by successful candidates." I immediately closed the tab. Please stop with the video answers and assignments.
