Honestly I thought I'd see more artists chiming in to get Blender to ban AI:
https://devtalk.blender.org/t/ai-contributions-policy/44202

There's still time if you're an artist or developer and you want to see blender put out a policy that commits to not using LLMs at all, for anything.

Edit: This seems to have gotten 67 boosts but not a single person chimed in :[

Edit 2: Thanks for chiming in everyone! If they shut down the thread, please just create a new one. I don't want them to worm their way out of this. AI is horrific for the environment. It contributed to the US war industry. It hurts artists and programmers alike. It is a danger to us all and I don't want to see it in art programs, at all. Krita took a stance against it. It's not impossible to be against AI and also create programs for artists.

Also, just so it's clear, if you're an AI bro or a centrists with AI bro friends, I will just block you. I don't have time for your opinions.

It’s nice to see the “April 25th is the perfect date, not too hot and not too cold” joke, because here in Italy it’s Liberation Day, the anniversary of the day in which Nazis and Fascists got kicked out of the major Italian cities. Perfect date indeed

I doodled Hornet sitting on a frog chair, which I had in my mind for months, since it came up in the first stream when @samikelsh started playing Silksong and speculated about the crafting system and being able to craft a frog chair...

Given the situation in the US I'm now living in Canada, and I'm looking for a new job as my current one is obviously American. If you are or know a Canadian employer with use for a person in Toronto with a good understanding of SQL databases, Linux administration (mostly Debian but I can do Fedora), HTML-based Web backends, ServiceNow, and Microsoft cloud offerings, plus some networking experience (office networks and outbound-filtering firewalls), technical writing skills, and significant programming experience with Rust, Python, C#, and PowerShell, please get in touch via email or DMs.

Motivated by the renewed attention surrounding our 1990s Moon Child game on Bluesky, I did a search on my HDD, and found back some pencil-on-paper concept sketches I made for the game at the time. 🙂
