And while we're on the subject: there's no ethical use of a product brought to market through unethical means. It doesn't matter whether the product is "AI" or chocolate or diamonds. Most generative "AI" was knowingly developed through massive theft from creatives; we have the emails admitting this.

I love the unnecessarily long character length for names here. I'm long overdue for a spooky one to fit the season, so I'm glad I was able to go HAM.

have you repurposed/upcycled an old AirPods case? I’m digging myself out of the Apple ecosystem but now I have a few of these themed cases that would honestly make cute keychains or coin cases but no ideas on how to start it. Help?

Nic Cage:
He continued: “How do you survive AI? Amazon is a very AI friendly company to the tune of 50 billion dollars invested to OpenAI. I am not an AI friendly actor. I didn’t sign the waiver to let them use AI on Spider-Noir. It’s kind of like I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again. But that’s OK. So I got to get with these young directors who are Gen Z and they’re going at it their own way, whether it’s through the YouTube culture or whatever it is. They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”

Review: Digger is both frustrating and brilliant—by design
Its excesses may try one’s patience at times, but the film sticks the landing with a savagely moving finale.

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.
The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop over reacting
