Oh Babey Ace Beating Murdoc's Ass Over Stu Is What I Live For, Thank You For This Gift.

Boy, Nina Tucker grew up fast didn’t she?

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use. 

So, the article 13 thing. You seem to know a lot about it so can I ask a stupid question? Does it affect the UK too?

I would think so??

 I only say that since this article was created and put in place by the EU before Brexit happened. However, because it’s been over a year now and Brexit happened only a few months ago. From what I’ve gathered, not a lot has happened since Article 13 (now called Article 17) has been passed. As an American, I don’t really know if it still affects the UK since they are no longer under the EU but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be worried about it now. There is a new law that the EU is trying to pass where they require every social media (especially YouTube) to have an “upload filter”, or some sort of algorithm that scans for stolen content or copyrighted material before posting.  This sounds fine on the surface but if you know anything about how bad YouTube’s algorithm is and how it’s known for companies’ complete abuse of the copyright system, this is a bad sign. They are planning completely implement this filter by June 2021 so please be wary and contact your MEPs.  Here’s a link to an article about what’s happened since Article 13 has passed:

Kakavege Week: Day 5 — Embarrassed

@kakavegeweek

Kakavege Week: Day 4 — Underwear

@kakavegeweek

I’m back, bitches. 🧨 

For @therealjacksepticeye

Happy birthday, Anti! 

Wait for it... 

B o o m. 

Why is it that the more I look the harder I laugh;; like;; he looks like he about to beat the shit out of somebody like jfc. 

I’m excited for @kakavegeweek ! This year, I’ll be making everything based off of my Universe 13 AU.

There are several main factors to this AU.

1. Planet Vegeta was never destroyed because Frieza was killed by Bardock. (Both Bardock and Gine were later sent to Earth under witness protection by King Vegeta)

2. Goku was never sent to Earth, and thus was never given the name Goku but remains as Kakarot.

3. Vegeta ascends to the throne and becomes king at a young age after his father is assassinated with Kakarot and Raditz as his knights.

4. Cooler leads and manipulates Saiyans that supported Frieza into starting 20 year civil war.

5. ✨T r a u m a✨ and lots of it for both Kakarot and Vegeta to go through during this war.

6. Vegeta and Kakarot accidentally learn an ancient fusion technique called Coalescence Fusion (A fusion style that I created that’s somewhat similar to Steven Universe’s version of fusion.)

7. And because of this accidental fusion they slowly start to fall in love with one another.

And that’s pretty much it! I can’t wait to share it with all of you. 🥰

Y’all, I seriously don’t know what is happening but unfortunately it seems like the date will be pushed back to the 13th instead of 12th like I wanted. :( I’ll try again in the morning more like a few hours since it’s 1am here but we’ll see what happens then. I’m so sorry if let anyone’s hopes up because of this but I promise you this shit will get uploaded here and to YouTube sometime tomorrow, I’ll make sure of it. My computer is just is not liking Premiere right now. I’ll update this as I go so stay tuned! Again, sorry for the delays.

Update for Rejects AU animatic
