Initial thoughts after seeing Metallic Rouge

I like the concept & characters, but it just seems like everyone is a Nean. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if the Puppet Master’s one

I’ve been feeling like this lately. I’ve always been apprehensive with commenting on people’s work since I overthink things I constantly worry about either saying something stupid, getting dragged into some debate that could get me cancelled, or saying something that may sound rude or offensive, but with the way the world is due to this obsession with content consumption I want to to try breaking out of my comfort zone and show support for other creators.

Making art is hard, and even in the digital landscape talking is scary, but nothing is worse than putting your blood, sweat, & tears into something only for it to feel like no one cares

People used to comment on web comics.

People used to comment on fanfiction.

People used to comment on fanart.

People used to comment on OCs.

I hate "content" culture.

I hate "consuming content" and scrolling immediately to the next thing.

People used to be excited about the art that other people created.

People used to want to share that excitement with creators.

I hate this future.

@staff

OUR CONTENT SHOULD BE OPTED OUT OF AI TRAINING BY DEFAULT!

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.

This is mainly geared towards artists, but I wanted to ask this to anyone who's pursuing any kind of creative career (writers, actors, scientists, craftsmen, etc):

How do you manage to keep your creative spark alive when dealing with issues like burnout, societal pressures such as needing to land your dream job at a young age, or feeling like your creative field/industry is against you (ie- lack of respect, hustle culture, or the recent push for AI)?

Had to make this myself because I haven't seen anyone else make this yet.

Me whenever I see people praising Gen 5. I'm glad it's been getting recognition over time, but part of me is still bitter for how much it was hated during its prime.

I think about pokemon in non-battle situations a lot. Like pokemon who have been trained/raised to be helpers and assistants than to be battle partners.

Pokemon visiting hospitals to cheer patients up like dogs and cats do. Or ones that help kids learn to read, speak, swim, go through therapy?! Even pokemon who’s abilities help owners with specific disabilities?!

I love thinking of pokemon outside of battle situations.
