adding generative Ai "tools" to your art software is selling out users who are interested in making art in an attempt to attract people who aren't interested in making art

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

FYI for Google Drive users.

Oh to be a little Tardigrade scratching its back on a bubble. 🫧🐻🧪

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

It would be great if VFX artists refused to work with directors who lie and say they don't use VFX.

It would also be fascinating to see how their movies would look if they actually didn't have any VFX.

To the folks who have ignorantly insisted that digital VFX are a lazy cheat, that the computer does all the work, now is your moment. That is literally generative AI you’re describing
#VFX #Animation #Film

I *cannot* fucking stress this enough:

The threat of AI is *NOT* making movies for us, but the hundreds of jobs it will be able to easily eliminate from crew positions. VFX. Drone pilots. Color timing. Sound mixing. Clerical staff.

If we don't move to protect jobs NOW, they WILL go away forever.

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

"I can't brainstorm without ai" "I can't draw without ai" "I can't write without ai" "Ai summarized it for me cause it's too hard of a read"
So what exactly /can/ you do? Because you sound fucking useless to me

The UK government's 'Sovereign AI Unit' has partnerships with 4 companies.

All are North American.
All are being sued for alleged copyright infringement.

It is beyond astonishing that this is who the government saw fit to partner with.

people who use AI as a replacement for thinking, learning and communicating should be shamed and punished. the same way we shame and punish drunk drivers, or people who negligently discharge firearms.

it is bad to misuse tools in a way that damages society

Spotify CEO, Daniel Ek, becomes chairman of Al military start-up after €600 million investment

Parasite becomes aggressive.

Sure all the musicians looking at our £0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased.

Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.

Urgh ,what an absolute cess pit of a company Spotify is, if you haven't already found enough reasons to delete your account, I'm sure another one will be along shortly.

For fucks sake,, AI doesn't 'lie' to you. It has absolutely no concept of truth.

AIs only goal is to convince you a response is plausible. Not true, not accurate, just enough to pass a quick 'yeah that sounds reasonable' test.

Do not use AI for importa-... actually just don't fucking use AI.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

No I'm very sure I'll never use it.

Linked In post from Mike Matsel, Principle Development Lead, XBox Graphics: "The XBox Graphics team is hiring folks with experience with device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience. If the positions are closed and you want to apply, please message me!" And below it is an "AI" slop that reads in white on green "XBOX GRAPHICS IS HIRING" and an image of a woman in a green sweater wearing earpods typing on a computer, except the "AI" has put the screen on the back of the monitor.

The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.
