3 panel comic. first panel is a cat & dog sitting on a hill looking at an alien in a pinkish red spaceship in a starry sky. the cat says "hello alien" & the dog says "please take us to your planet this one sucks so much." in the second panel the alien doesn't say anything. in the third panel the alien gives the middle finger.

ngl carcinization is looking pretty sweet right about now 🦀

Related to this, I don't have time to watch Alexander Avila's AI video right now (and will do it asap) but I hope his research took him further than "if Van Gogh prompted Starry Night, would it be art?" this time around

bro PLS RETHINK YOUR STANCE I BELIEVE IN YOU

yepppp

it is admittedly a small number of people including a generally well respected video essayist but I'm freaked out by this train of thought become more mainstream among online leftists

also PROBABLY not a good sign if Peter Coffin of all people agrees with you lmfao

of ALL the things to fixate on when most of the issues stemming from AI "art" are ARTISTS LOSING THEIR ACTUAL JOBS!!!!!!

It turns out you can just put words in any order you want 🤪

I think a lot of well-meaning people can be tricked into believing something ridiculous if you make it sound "leftist" enough

I shouldn't even be engaging in this line of thinking, it's such nonsense. but GOOD LORD does it make me angry

so now we're arguing that the anti-AI art movement is some form of cryptofascism??? have you people lost your minds???????

uhm, ash from real life. me.

1/5 I saw these clips and it gets worse. You got all the classic hits:
1. Our lawsuit got dismissed (it didnt)

2. While simultaneously dismissing that our case being allowed to move on copyright claims is no big deal (it is)

3. GenAi is like a search engine (it’s not)

"You have companies using copyright-protected material to create a product that is capable of producing an infinite number of competing products," said Chhabria to Meta's attorneys in a San Francisco court last Thursday. "You are dramatically changing, you might even say obliterating, the market for that person's work, and you're saying that you don't even have to pay a license to that person... I just don't understand how that can be fair use.

While a Youtuber released a 3 hr video cherry picking information, elevating astro turf tech groups, and claiming the lawsuits are faulty, in reality things are moving in a positive direction for creatives!

In one of the lawsuits brought up, Kadrey v Meta, this is what the judge had to say 👇
