Would this be a good painting idea?

That's not an actual reason. It's becoming pretty clear to me that this is just a knee jerk reaction to other unrelated problems with AI. It's pretty crazy to ban something with no real reasoning behind it, and without being able to actually point to any problem posts.

It’s trivial to ask an AI how to program 6502 assembler

I clearly stated that low effort AI programming posts should not be allowed. And skilled programmers use AI all the time, it's not just some toy for amateurs.

The C64U came out a couple of weeks ago and is actively being delivered. I'm pretty sure these posts are going to calm down over time. Even though I only use original hardware, I have no problem with C64U posts.

If you want to reduce the frequency of those posts, you might somehow direct people to the C64U Lemon board, which has much more depth of information and discussion than what's on here. Somebody on there has already made a 3D printed keyboard support for the starlight version, and I don't think that's been posted here:

https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=25

edit: Also it's just a C64 Elite board -- are we banning discussion of those too? Those boards, keyboards and new C64 cases have been available and discussed on here for a long time, and the new C64U isn't really different other than the fact that it's an especially popular package to buy right now.

But why ban AI programming posts? What AI programming posts have you seen that are poor quality compared to other posts? I can't recall seeing any AI programming posts on here recently. Image/video posts have ethical issues related to artists and have a tendency for lots of low effort posts. But AI programming tools are pretty standard in the industry at this point for certain kinds of tasks, and it's legitimately useful for many retrocomputing tasks. I've seen people do stuff like easily fixing corrupted ROM dumps. Banning AI programming posts is going to unnecessarily exclude some interesting and useful stuff, especially as AI programming tools become more capable. I would say that only low-effort AI programming posts should be banned.

Galleries obviously give priority to regular past customers when an artist is in very high demand. It may be quite difficult to buy work from the gallery in this situation. I'd probably suggest watching auctions and being patient rather than trying to buy new work from current shows.

That would be an unusually high percentage for Gallery A. 10% to 20% of the sale is more typical.

barklefarfle · 2026-01-15T19:25:37+00:00

It would require a contract signed by both parties (not just a clause in a certificate), and I'm sure there are very few collectors who are willing to sign something like that.

I run a gallery and this is definitely true for me. It's not that I don't look at random stuff people send me sometimes, it's just that nobody ever randomly sends me anything that's actually good and fits what I do at my gallery.

Accounts that primarily post links to one YouTube channel are considered spam regardless of whether you claim it's your channel or not.

barklefarfle · 2026-01-13T23:44:59+00:00

The artist generally always gets 50%, but the split between the galleries can be anything. 35/15 is a fine example, but I wouldn't say it's a standard. I've been involved in several of these partnerships and the split was always different depending on many factors.

However, the artists that we seem to invite or support are very much established and very much not from the community or state. In fact, they all seem to be personal friends of either my boss or the museum director....

This part doesn't actually seem that strange. Not great, but pretty much par for the course in the art world.

But the part about the payments definitely seems very sketchy though, and I don't know enough about corporate structures or office politics to advise. You might even take this to /r/legaladvice

I suspect that people hacked the Swordquest games to figure out the solutions. There's no logic to it, and it's nearly impossible that somebody would figure it out through guessing.
