Current: Independent Creator. Past: CG Supervisor on Pantheon, Pokemon, and Area-21. I thought what I'd do was...I'd write a power rangers cyberpunk space opera and adapt it into anime...Or would I?

SHAPIRO: You would rather put a gun in your mouth?

SIMON: I mean, what you're saying to me, effectively, is there's no original way to do anything and...

SHAPIRO: No.

SIMON: Yes, you are.

SHAPIRO: That seems like a kind of absolutist take.

SIMON: Not only I think is it a fundamental violation of the integrity of writers and also of copyright to - you know, when I sold all the scripts I sold, you know, 150 to HBO and, you know, maybe another 50 to NBC, I didn't sell them so that they could be thrown into a computer with other people's and be used again by a corporation. So...

SHAPIRO: So would you ever agree to a contract that saw any role for AI at all?

SIMON: No. I would not.

The next couple questions are just as good with Simon tearing into Shapiro and holding fast:

I had a polite discussion with someone about AI in a coffee shop. I tried to explain to them that it was just a plagiarism machine, he replied "but look, I can summarize a book in seconds! Isn't this amazing!?" I merely said, "I prefer to do my thinking for myself."

Real talk tho, if the Chainsawman movie is being released by Crunchy in theatres... are we going to have to risk getting AI auto subs? Cuzzzz I'm not paying money for that shit.

Agreed, but at least I feel like if the system's been broken down, we have the opportunity to rebuild it better.

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND


He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

My dumb ass being surprised that I should actually write out my ideas instead of leaving them in my head to think over, because physically writing them out helps my brain solve problems that it couldn't pick up on without visual stimuli

What's going to really bake your noodle is when you realize taking walks surrounded by green amplifies this step.

I mean, we could make content that we own... When you have even "indie" studios opening satellites in France, and this threat of "100% Tariffs" on foreign made media, seems like the only way forward imho

It's crazy to me to see this wave of unionizations at the same time we see studios just outsource to a different part of the world. First it was Vancouver, now it's Europe. It just seems like we're playing catch-up and the conglomerates are winning.

This , this, 1000% this!

GenAi companies, wether they be OpenAi, Meta, Google and so on, are absolutely out of control.

However, WE have so much power in our hands if we just pay attention, call, send letters, and vote! Yes, even in this messed up era.
