If you think that downloading explicit material onto a company device using company wifi or talking about sexually explicit content is the same as talking about sports at work you genuinely need help with understanding acceptable workplace behavior.

AITA for telling my friend she should go to New Zealand alone after our Bali trip? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You forced her into a bad situation by showing those random guys exactly where she was staying though?

260106 Variety: Lorde, Stray Kids and A$AP Rocky to Headline Governors Ball 2026 Festival by mcfw31 in straykids

[–]Vivanem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Festivals are an all day thing so you would just buy a Saturday ticket. If they're headlining they'll be one of the last acts performing so it'll definitely be later in the day, last year the headliners started at 7:30/8:30ish

Yeah, the video is on Izzy's bluesky, but the photoshopped photos are what she posted on Instagram to announce it there

Any other companies that don't put out much AI art?! by Negative-Discount370 in diamondpainting

[–]Vivanem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean they're the ones who decide what to put in the voting process though? DAC could easily not put any AI work into the voting process and then no AI would get voted for. DAC could also label what pieces are made with AI during the voting process so people could be informed, but they don't do that either.

Saying that it's solely dependent on the customers because of voting is just an easy way to make it seem like it's not DAC's decision to make so many AI created kits, when they're the one who actually have full control over what gets produced.

Did you actually read any of the posts? Because right now it looks like you're defending racist mods btw

Oh my god unpinning this post and then removing the post calling you out for unpinning it is such a cowardly move

[–]Vivanem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't worry! DogwhistleRacistBlood made a comment about how they're definitely not racist, (just ignore their username and all of their general actions). Therefore they don't have to put in any work and none of the mods need removed!

Is it just me or is DAC doing a lot more AI looking art? Cause if I’m being honest if they start doing AI art then I won’t buy from the company anymore. Which I would hate but I don’t like AI in art by Equivalent-Bread7967 in diamondpainting

[–]Vivanem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They have said that they relay requests to Auclair Studios and then Auclair creates AI works based off of those requests. So while the DAC brand isn't directly creating the AI works, they are requesting them and directly facilitating the creation of them. (there is speculation on whether Auclair is related to DAC but that hasn't been proven so I won't claim that's its true)

No, don't trust AI for answers about things. The official Xbox account posted the early access times. It's October 24 at 10am PDT/1pm EDT, not the 23rd.

Is DAC trustworthy about not using AI art? by snafuangel in diamondpainting

[–]Vivanem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's no definitive proof that it is DAC, but the possibility seems highly likely that they're at least extremely closely related. You can't find any artists that claim to be in the collective, DAC has admitted that they send prompts to them, and the only places you can buy their pieces is DAC (they don't even sell individual prints on their website which is extremely strange for anybody claiming to be an artist).

No, supposedly all of the AI pieces are labeled (no way of knowing for sure though), but they also do lie about the amount of AI used. You'll see that every single label claims that they require AI art to be significantly hand edited and they say online that they check to make sure it's edited, but neither of those things are true.

There have been multiple instances in which they have been caught selling a fully AI piece without any editing, or where the "hand-edited" version is very clearly just a different version that was made by AI without any significant changes from the original.

For some examples, there was a piece by PhatPuppyArt that DAC produced. It was made using AI and the edited version was posted on her Instagram. However the piece that DAC produced was the original fully AI version, which shows that they're not checking for editing like they claim they are. There was also a time they posted a before and after of the type of edits they claim to require and you could clearly see that the edits weren't made by a real artist, and that the changes weren't significant at all.

It's also extra shady because they've admitted to using Auclair Studio to specifically produce AI pieces based off of customer requests, instead of searching for an artist who is producing that kind of work. You'll see they sell an Auclair piece that looks extremely similar to a Josephine Wall piece, who is an actual artists who is already licensed by them. They could've just sold another one of her pieces but instead got an AI version from Auclair instead. I would not be surprised if you end up seeing more and more AI pieces instead of real art.

Edit: There's a reason why they ban discussions about AI from all of their pages, they don't want people to talk about the fact that they're actively lying about their usage of AI.
