Free Art Raffle #2!

Send this to a Pokemon fan: Want to help us protect everyone from invasive AI? Enter our raffle to win a free commission from @duchesscelestia! You can learn more about our project to make it easy to protect yourself from AI scrapers & surveillance by watching our interview linked below.

We're fighting to protect people from: - Facial recognition dragnets - YouTube's abuse of creators via fraudulent copyright claims and demonetizations - Megacorp social medias modifying their algorithm to manipulate and propagandize you - AI art scraping - Algospeak

Our interview with VildrArt goes into detail about each of these. Please check it out! One note: in the video, we talk about being a TikTok replacement, since that's what our founder wrote his master's thesis on. But due to the outpouring of community feedback, we're shifting to focus on replacing YouTube and Instagram. We're taking YouTube's support for long-form landscape video and playlists, Instagram's support for images and reposting, and combining them in a UI that seamlessly shows both types of content.

Don't have that much time? Here's a quicker overview:

If you like what we're up to, please join the fight over at our Kickstarter!

i've had the absolute honour of creating a piece for the bungou stray dogs: gaiden zine, a cat of many tales - here are some previews of it! preorders for it are now open, and for only $7, you can get your own digital copy. all proceeds go to charity, and all of the artists that participated put in a lot of really hard work, so please consider buying one for yourself! https://acatofmanytales-bsdgaidenzine.bigcartel.com/ @acatofmanytales
