We're re-running every screenshot we have on Dispattern. Gloves, Charms, Stickers. All. Of. It. Last year this took us half a year, 4-5 computers and help from other people. Now? Less than 2 days. We're already at 1.5 TB, and charms alone will add ~500 GB. That's 100,000 patterns per charm, with left, right and front views. (Yes we're doing them all because F*** it.) AND it's all FREE. Charm hunters and other projects will be able to use it too. (Soon) And no, we didn't forget the chickens. 🐔 cot cot

On 19 August I signed an agreement with Skinscom that closed the writing side of my work with them. That is why my first post covered only testing and social media and left the writing out. Grizzly has now put the writing matter, and a detector report from that dispute, in public himself. So here is the record, from the documents. - The writing work I wrote SEO articles for Skinscom from January to July 2026, on a signed contractor agreement at 3 to 4 cents a word. Every batch went through their editor, Emanuel Villalobos (ema@skinscom), who assigned the work, sent revision notes and reviewed the final versions. Their written instruction was that no AI tools be used. I followed it. From the first batch in January, his review included an AI check alongside the revisions. Articles went in, came back with notes, got revised, got checked, got signed off, got paid. The company's own letter of 6 August later confirmed that screening for AI was part of his job. That was the process for six months, and my position on the AI question has not changed once in six months of correspondence. - July 6 July: Ema assigns the July batch by email. 15 July: Ema reviews the articles, asks for edit access to one of them, and signs off in writing: "Done, nothing major in any of the articles." 18 July: Grizzly posts in the writers' Discord that "the majority of the writing" has been flagged as AI, the writer program is ending, submit your final invoices and transfer all writings to Ema. I said "okay boss" and did both. 22 July: I invoice 20 articles, 21,949 words, $877.96. They took delivery of all 20 and refused to pay for any of them. On 4 August, before any lawyer was involved, crim (Laith Cooper) put the offer in writing: if the content is AI then "it feels like we've been stolen from", so the options are A, work for free to pay off what was stolen, or B, don't. I answered the same day: none of the articles I wrote were AI, and the paid ones were checked by their own reviewer. Two days later, the Pangram reports appeared. - The "evidence" The report Grizzly posted is a Pangram 4.0 report dated 6 August. The decision to stop paying was made on 18 July, three weeks before that report existed. I asked in writing, twice, what they had relied on in July. Nothing was ever produced. Eight of the twenty articles were run through the tool. The other twelve were never assessed at all, and the company never claimed otherwise. The same 6 August letter said that failing to screen for AI was a main reason Ema's engagement ended. So their reviewer checked and signed off my work on 15 July, they let him go for not catching what they say was in it, and sent me the bill. I could not produce draft files and I said so plainly: their delivery workflow was copy into .docx and hand it over, I was never asked to keep working files, and I did not, for the paid articles or the unpaid ones. AI detectors are not proof of authorship. OpenAI shut down its own detector over accuracy. Peer-reviewed research shows these tools flag non-native English writers at far higher rates. I am a non-native English writer. - Grizzly (Tim Brown) From January to July, I did not hear from Grizzly once. Not a brief, not a revision note, not a question about a single article. Every assignment, every round of edits and every sign-off came from Ema. The first and last time Grizzly appeared was 18 July. That night he created the Skins Writers group, asked what we were doing and how, asked whether the articles were AI, and at 1:14 AM closed the program: flagged as AI, submit your final invoices, hand over all writings. At 1:15 he asked me whether they were getting a refund on the "7k invoice" they had already paid. I answered the same minute: every article I wrote was hand written, and I offered to go live on stream and write five articles in front of him. At 1:16 his reply, in his own words, was "ok cba", the writing program has concluded, crim will handle the transfer. Then he left the group. Two minutes. That is the full extent of his involvement in six months of work, three days after his own editor had signed the articles off. I offered to prove it live on the spot. Nobody took me up on it. He is now presenting a one-page detector report as the story of that work. He was never in the room for it, and when I offered to put it in front of him, he couldn't be bothered. - The "blackmail" That refers to the testing side, which is a separate matter. The screenshot Grizzly posted is a price negotiation. Read it. There is no threat in it, and it stops right before their answer. - Where it ended I ended the writing matter by agreement on 19 August. Hong Kong arbitration over $877.96 makes no sense for a freelancer in Istanbul, so I gave it up. My acceptance letter said, in writing, that it was not an admission of anything. I will leave the terms of that agreement where they are. Now look at what they gave up. On 18 July Grizzly asked me for a refund on the "7k invoice" he said was AI. On 6 August their lawyers dropped that in writing and asserted no clawback. Nobody who believes they were scammed out of $7,000 drops it three weeks later without a fight. They did, and then came to X with a detector report and called it the story. It is not. - Felix You own this. Everything above is documented, and every screenshot is from your own team. Grizzly ended a six-month writing program in two minutes without ever having been part of it, and answered an offer to prove the work live with "ok cba". Crim put "work for free to pay off what was stolen" in writing to a contractor whose work your own editor had signed off. Then Grizzly took it to X with a detector report and a blackmail accusation. If you actually care about Skinscom and Pricempire, this is not a contractor problem. It is a management problem, and it has names. If it were my company, both of them would be gone today. It is yours, so that is your call. But you should know that this is how the people running it handle relationships and handle a crisis, and you should ask yourself what else they handle this way.
