people will say "did you know the creator of ... has a weird fetish" as if anything other than a weird fetish could possibly compel you to suffer through the creative process

Big tech paused CA’s GenAi transparency bill AB412 behind closed doors. However, over 3.8 million creative workers have come together to demand transparency! This coalition isn’t going anywhere! Its sponsors, CAA, SAG AFTRA, NAVA Voices & The Author’s Guild have next steps! Here’s what to do👇

AB-412 UPDATE
The Al Copyright Transparency Act
WE'RE NOT GOING AWAY
Artists & Creators Must Have Transparency!
The irony of a transparency bill dying in the dark is not lost on those of us in the creative community.
Big Tech is terrified of transparency. Big Tech, who has fought us every step of the way on the Al Copyright Transparency Act, has now succeeded in getting the legislature to kill AB-412 behind the closed doors of an appropriations committee.
It should be noted that AB-412 was a bill that had no fiscal appropriation whatsoever.
This will be devastating to the creative industries, their IP, and the hundreds of thousands of creative workers who bring billions of dollars to California's economy. Creative workers are struggling, and this very simple transparency bill could have helped countless people. The issue is not going away, and delaying workable solutions for such an increasing problem will only make the situation worse for everybody.
Our coalition representing more than 3.8 million individuals, brought creative workers from every corner of the creative economy together with a unified voice. Our bill passed out of the California Assembly, four committees in the State legislature, and several hundred individuals showed up at every single public hearing to say just how much a bill like AB-412 could help them. This issue is not going away. We are not going away. We are now moving to put our energy towards the next best steps.
Please take a moment to contact Assembly Member Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (916) 319-2016 and Assembly Member Ash Kalra (916) 319-2025 to thank them for their leadership in authoring and Co-Authoring this bill respectively.
Please express to them our request that they bring this bill back next session. Please tell everyone you know to contact them as well.
AB-412 simply affects too many people to simply be swept away into a corner and decided in the dark.
Sincerely, SAG•AFTRA CONCEPT ART ASSOCIATION
NAVA VOICE ACTORS AG Authors

TRANSPARENCY SHOULDN'T BE DECIDED IN THE DARK.
Big Tech wants AB 412 stopped behind closed doors. A bill affecting hundreds of thousands of California creatives deserves a public hearing.
Call Assembly Members Rebecca Bauer-Kahan at
(916)319-2016 and Ash Kalra at (916)319-2025
thanking them for their leadership in authoring this bill and requesting they bring AB 412 back next session.
AB 412 | A.I. Copyright Transparency

Dear artists, You NEED to keep in contact with your commissioners. That's right, all of them. If they paid you money, you MUST communicate with them and tell them what's going on. You cannot just ghost someone for months and months after promising a quick turnaround and expect them to be happy!

Something about "you are the product" (bacon) Or maybe the investors are the bacon #genAI

Screenshot from mileswildermusic on Threads:
"“Slop” is so visceral to me because I grew up feeding literal slop to pigs. Buckets and buckets of table scraps, garden trash, cheap grain, etc. soaked in water and poured into a trough. Pigs LOVE slop. We’d pour it out and they’d jostle each other and scarf it down in big reckless mouthfuls with happy, satisfied grunts. Pigs are smart animals, but not enough to understand the reason for the slop buffet. They didn’t know about bacon. I see people satisfied using Gen AI. Do they know about bacon? "

People at large still don't know how LLMs work and tech bros do their best to keep it that way. Repeat with me: AN LLM IS RIGHT BY COINCIDENCE ONLY. They do not understand logic or have "real" reasoning.

While the new Spindlehorse policy news for staff and contractors is upsetting, please know that the artists do get paid for their work on the show, and working on the official merch. Please support the artists anyway you can. Also this type of policy is standard anywhere else.

I finally got to watch the TADC finale and I have to admit.. I'm disappointed. It's not objectively a bad ending, it's just it felt like they left a lot of potential on the table and the writing was a bit off. I have huge respect for the creators, but I think the finale was the worst TADC episode.

Die Frage ist nun, wenn der Minister sich bereits selber virtualisiert, wofür brauchen wir dann noch den Minister? Denn, wer ohne KI nichts kann, kann nunmal bekanntlich nichts, was sich nicht durch Schaltkreise und eine Handvoll Quellcode ersetzen ließe. Union ist Obsoleszenz als Politiksimulation

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

When I assign analysis, I am not trying to extract a polished product; I am trying to put the student’s mind through resistance in order to make it stronger. Offloading the struggle to a chatbot does not “free students up for higher-order work.” It deprives them of building the strength to do any substantial cognitive work at all.

I think it's very important that we have a non-toxic cishet ally male character. ❤️ We need more positive male role models. If someone is disappointed, that's OK. But if anyone lashes out because of this I'll block.

If you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.

Very glad DOKOMI said no to AI-generated art, otherwise I'd have not bought a ticket. Public displays of AI slop is so disgusting to me nowadays that I have zero tolerance for it. It's like stepping in dog shit.

I watched the Good Omens finale and I'm happy with it. I see how some people might not like it but I'm glad it was a somewhat positive and not a tragic ending like is currently popular. That said, I thought S2 was significantly worse than S1, and S3 didn't jump back to S1 quality.

I wish I could recommend Linux to my artist peers just like I can recommend it to gamers these days. Most of my gamer friends have switched to Linux in the last two years. I think if you're not in a specialist niche like art Linux has become incredibly viable as a safe haven from Winslop.

Very illuminating thread. However you feel about the “power of AI coding models” or whatever, I think it’s important to see that across the board there’s a trend of software deteriorating across the board. It’s good to talk about it! It’s not complaining. We are the customer.

Many of these exist because people fail to recognize a woman’s intelligence and competence. The assumption of something being a mistake or bad bc there’s no way they’d have the ability to do something with it. It’s ridiculous.
