for the meanwhile we'll keep being to see it in its unobscured form in llm prompts, but only for its most hegemonic base of consumers, +only composited from stolen images many of which weren't sw to begin with. capitalism aims to marginalize most artists as much as possible, eliminate if possible

Posts discuss funding creative projects by selling art (e.g., “Sell 400 paintings,” “give someone $10,000 to film something”), concerns about LLM prompts and images “composited from stolen images,” and critiques of capitalism’s effects on artists (“capitalism aims to marginalize most artists”). Also mentions artist–consumer relationships and “lore” around artists.

I feel like a lot of the "omg artists (any medium) want to harm consumers with content" people don't have the kind of lore that makes you more sympathetic for the necessity of it

If you care about me as an artist, you care about me worrying about my income. If me choosing to continue this projects makes you think I'm a sellout you better offer an actual alternative or keep your mouth shut while the adults are trying to do business.

The idea that the only purpose of art is to make money is behind this and it sucks

Government being kept out of any art form is a net good, but with most of them it's too late, so gotta take what you can get

i think if you are a person who wants to make art "easier to consume" at any point you should be stoned in town square i dont care the connotation author's note: when i say easier i do not mean accessibility

I may be the kind of guy that complains about artist prices. But it breaks my heart seeing artists rn say they're gonna release their Patreon/Substar work for free because theyre running out of options to monetize themselves.

"The test of time" is an absurd measure for art. There's absolutely nothing wrong with art being *of its time* and completely unappreciated thereafter. Posterity isn't an audience.

My opinion is that we can pay for the entire movie studio/recording studio with the Art Studio film set. Theoretically…. Sell 400 paintings… I’m going to have a ton of cash on hand so I can always give someone $10,000 to film something for me—like sex.

Tale as old as time, but it’s still odd to me there’s always one button creatives can push to get paid. Imagine if people at large were just as obsessed with seeing characters wear top hats so no matter the context, style, or nature of a work of art there was always the pull to drop a top hat pic.

If anyone wants my opinion (nobody does, but i'll share it anyways): Yes, if you create a species and spend tons of time making concept art and lore and stuff for it, you should at least have some control over it, and be able to make money off of it - art is a lot of people's jobs, after all.

All art forms are dying in the market. Everything is too expensive and nobody seems to have time for them. Movies aren’t culturally relevant and anyone who disagrees is clinging to nostalgia.

Here is a thing about art. Some of it is not for you. Not everything your favorite does will be a home run and people can be terrible. That is why a case by case evaluation is vital.
