Context: Abolition was wildly on the up in the empire thanks to decades of work by activists and in 1772 it'd been legally decided that slavey did not and could not exist in England. So freedom.

At least some US founding fathers recognised the first domino falling.

Insert jokey comparison between stolen artistic labour and the war of independence being partly about slave owners terrified of how abolition was taking root in the british empire RIGHT HERE.

Aronofsky aesthetically mugging Satoshi Kon has never been more relevant and is directly related to shoving himself firmly up GenAI’s rectum. HhhhhaaAAAAAACK!

Until the end of his life, Kon was a struggling director. Even after two acclaimed films, he was so unsuccessful that Tokyo Godfathers almost didn’t get funded. Is it still an homage when you’re lifting from an immediate contemporary who’s far below you in status and clout? As Kon wrote in 2001, after meeting Aronofsky: I’m feeling pathetic. It’s a pitiful tale when the person being paid homage to has less name recognition, less social credibility and less budget to spend.

Normally against "I have always hated this guy" but you can do that to Aronofsky. Always enjoyed that Satoshi Kon really politely hated him for ripping him off. animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-real-h...

Okay time for fun.

Go into your photo roll or whatever, and post the first image that makes you laugh literally out loud.

Here's mine.

Amazon discovered a 'high volume' of CSAM in its AI training data but isn't saying where it came from The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said it received more than 1 million reports of AI-related child sexual abuse material in 2025, with "the vast majority" stemming from Amazon.

COOL COOL COOL COOL.

you draw a nude fictional woman too short or you do sex work and you get debanked, but you plug enough CSAM into your ai training data that the NCMEC gets flooded with "more than 1 million reports of AI-related CSAM in 2025" and hey, thats just the cost of bizness bay bee

Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal opinion article titled “A Guaranteed Income Won’t Stop People From Wanting to Work,” by Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo. A subheading says evidence from programs around the world suggests basic income does not make recipients lazier. Below the headline is a photo of several women sitting outdoors at a table working.

"Not only don't people work less when they are guaranteed an income, they might actually put in more effort at work. And the fact that they have more money to spend leads to the creation of more jobs."

like yeah that darren aranofsky AI thing looks like garbage but i am especially bothered by the "its genAI but with SAG actors" because it shows how there is a complete lack of solidarity between actors and visual effect and animation workers

"You have to use it. You have to trust it.": Forced Adoption of AI is The Subtext of Davos Authoritarianism is the AI Bailout; But If AI Doesn't Need a Bailout, Does it Need Authoritarianism?

Microsoft and Blackrock have "have largely given up on organic adoption [of AI] by consumers. They have moved on to a new dream of forced adoption mandated by government and managerial coercion."

Not content simply to steal Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue every time he makes a film, Daren Aranofsky graduates to stealing the work of thousands of filmmakers.

Did these SAG actors know what they were signing up for?

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

"...of any party..."

Nah, girl. We're LONG past that "we're better than them" attitude.

I may not condone violence but you're damn right I'll point and laugh if it comes back to anyone that supports Trump and/or Israel.

I've played budget games made ten years ago with more convincing cutscenes than this.

If you're a tech journalist and you write about generative AI to discuss how some new tech can perfectly replicate (famous game) visually, and you don't *immediately* turn the entire article into discussing unauthorized training sets and copyright infringement, I no longer trust anything you write.

Is it too late for breakfast?

I've said this before but just because some artists are able to draw BIPOC characters sometimes does not mean that they are "safe" for us to be around.
Discernment is good to have, and I don't think I'll ever let that go.
The keyword here is "sometimes".

Great article! Payment processors and groups like collective shout never cared about child safety but instead their own self righteous, puritanical values against legal porn/erotica. But when someone more powerful than they are controls the CSAM making machine they turn a blind eye.

Speak facts to this unwashed liberal and remind them of history.

Even if you place the ENTIRE covid pandemic at Trump's feet, Bush is STILL responsible for more deaths, but many forget this because they have trouble counting Middle-Easterners as worthy of mourning.

Bush is the one who started this.

Yanked Israel's leash even once.

Get involved? By listening to Ezra Klein's dumb podcast?
