Artists Beware! Please read if you have a DeviantArt account:

DeviantArt have just announced that they're launching their own ai art generator, and every deviation that has ever been posted has been automatically opted in - I've checked this for myself and every one of my own artworks now needs to be manually changed in the settings of every single deviation otherwise they'll be used.

To have your artist username exempted from prompts you have to fill in a Google form to be approved by a human, and you must prove that you operate under your respective alias to ask them not to use it - read more here

Suffice to say I'm livid, I've been on DeviantArt for a decade and I'm going to shut down my account once I've manually opted out my hundreds of deviations. On their promotion page for the new tool they'll emphasize that it's *totally within the control of the artists* showing an image of the checked box that opts you out, while not mentioning that all of your previous deviations are already opted in by default.

I would recommend that anyone who has similar plans as me and wants to leave the site should manually opt-out for every deviation before shutting down your account, just to be on the safe side because I'm not sure if just deactivating your account would count as opting out.

I'll try to keep this post updated with accurate and up-to-date information since AI related stuff can quickly cause a frenzy online - don't hesitate to DM me with any new information and I'll update it here!

genuinely so scary that you can't access the page on the ssc website that guides you through changing your sex designation. so so fucking scary. they are already making our lives harder. they are already taking what little resources we have.

“what republicans really mean when they say they’re against DEI is—“

their hatred of DEI isn’t even a dogwhistle. DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. it is what it says on the tin.

republicans do not want diversity; they want hegemony where they end up on top

republicans do not want equity; they want inequality where they end up on top

republicans do not want inclusion; they want to exclude others from the country, from access to their own rights, from power; they want to push out everyone that isn’t them so that they end up on top

simple as. there’s nothing to decode.
