my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content
AI companies: 'Instead of artists, writers, and musicians getting paid for their work, what if we just take it and everyone pays us instead?' It's really that simple.
We are on the precipice of losing so much of what makes us human. There’s a war on art. A war on empathy. A war on compassion. And they’re all connected and perfectly manifested in AI and the notion that life is machine readable. Artists & non-artists must join in resistance.
I’m exhausted. I think someone well-intentioned passed my photo thru OpenAI’s new image model to show what it can do. And while I appreciate the sentiment, can I just say that as the original artist, seeing stuff like these makes me feel like shit 1/
The arrogance and ignorance of AI users goes hand-in-hand. Neither the motion nor design of this animated slop remotely resembles any of the styles this individual listed, yet at no time did they recognize that or bother to understand what they were even trying to replicate.
ChatGPT 4o's new image gen is insane. Here's what Severance would look like in 8 famous animation styles 🧵 1/8: Rankin/Bass – That nostalgic stop-motion look like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Cozy and janky.
Miyazaki's words are being taken out of context - it's worth being clear about this. When he said AI is "an insult to life itself", he was responding to AI researchers demoing an AI they'd trained to move like a zombie. He was reminded of a disabled friend, and he thought what…
The wrecking ball to academia + social services; the unconstitutional executive orders designed to result in a crony-filled Supreme Court nullifying the power of Congress; the rise of AI sold as an automating god to be operated by oligarchs. These things are not unrelated.
Both in the US and the UK GenAi advocates are working overtime to ensure theft is legalized. The reasoning? Because following law and respecting the rights of creatives globally is costly. Again, if your business depends on theft to function, it’s not a business.Its a racket.
If folks hate H1Bs wait till they hear about L1s. I didn't even get in on merit. I tactically got a job at a satellite office outside the US & transferred. Now I'm a citizen like you. But I can also live anywhere in Europe (including post-Brexit UK!). BEHOLD, THE SUPER IMMIGRANT!
These "improvements" follow a tedious, well trodden game pipeline that proposes that "clear function" = Good Design. A certain type of person craves an objective definition of success in art SO badly, when there just isn't one. Over-reliance on function is a crutch like any other
This is so, so deeply embarrassing. Especially coming from a professional. Yikes.
A reminder that as @fordnation decimates and privatizes the public land of #OntarioPlace, they also amended the Coroners Act via Bill 157 to end the mandatory investigation of deaths at construction sites.

Microsoft AI CEO says the social contract of content on the open web "is fair use", "anyone can copy it", it's "freeware". This is categorically false. Content released online is still protected by copyright. You can't copy it for any purpose you like simply because it's on the…
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman: the social contract for content that is on the open web is that it's "freeware" for training AI models
Classic strategy from the Tech playbook - undermine, demonize someone’s work and industry, then slide in to undercut and replace. It’s never actually about efficiency or whatever the fuck they think humanity needs.
OpenAI's Mira Murati: "some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place"
