they can't act on their own, they cannot go rogue. they are computer programs that do what they are programmed to do. they're as responsible for their actions as a grenade is for exploding after somebody pulls the pin

At the dayjob a white pick up truck with a lift kit was driving like an asshole in our parking lot and was adamant about letting everyone know they had replaced their horn with one from a freight train. All I can say to that person is at a certain point you just have to accept it's a micropenis.

as much as i love bsky and the communitthere, sometimes people over-politicize everything and it seeps into completely innocuous posts and artwork and just becomes a nuisance if twitter has a ragebait problem, bsky has a superiority complex problem

I wish people understood that TV writers: 1. *Have* actually thought more about this than even the most die hard fan. 2. Are beholden to time, money, and owner constraints that fans will never be aware of. 3. Are extremely likely to already be aware of any critiques because (see 1) but (see 2)

LRP: I know it’s pointless to say this online nowadays. Creatives from all over this industry are just begging for a degree of understanding and grace from an audience that increasingly won’t give it. What I want now is to ignore it. I’d like this to not be something we continue to validate.

Cartoon Network/ Adult Swim was my dream industry job if I ever got lucky and/or skilled enough to pursue such a job anywhere or pitch anything tbh. I've already increasingly been of the mindset over the years that shooting for indie groups and projects would be the move but now it's even moreso.

you may have noticed that animation has never been more in-demand & in the zeitgeist and yet, seemingly, never have media conglomerates been less willing to produce it. you may also notice these guys get multimillion dollar severance packages after they gut a studio. there is probably no connection

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

CSP being pressed to take even just /kissing/ off their asset store and FA being told that plus sized characters are considered adult should be a giant waving red flag to folks. Sex workers have /always/ been right to say these policies never stop with 1 type of content. They always wanna ban more.

As billionaires, the wealthy class and ai tech bros try to privatize knowledge and erase human curiosity, another form of resistance is to stay curious. Do your own research. Do not be spoonfed your ideals or opinions. Use your library. Think for yourself. It's very important that you do.

Gaining access is not the same as gaining acceptance. And in times like these, many of us deeply need to both understand that and learn when to recognize the differences in our own respective orbits for our own respective healths.

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

Everyone is so caught up with saying "some books are terrible" and missing the bigger and more alarming picture here. If you really think an author advocating outsourcing an entire genre to ai is acceptable then I don't know what tell you.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

The cluelessness of this reminds me a lot of the NFT grift. The thing about NFTs was that it was mainly something finance bros were into, and when they were trying to worm their way into gaming, their pitches were an abyssal trench of bad ideas because they couldn't grasp why people played games.
