"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

AI-created art isn't eligible for copyright protection, after the Supreme Court chose not to review a lower court ruling.
In 2022 the Copyright Office said images without “human authorship,” don't qualify for copyright protection — this was affirmed in 2023 by a district court.

Ah yes. Lets see...
Canadians buying Canadian is 'bad' - according to economist Vincent Geloso (George Mason University Fairfax, Virginia). This same guy who, of course, appeared on Fraser Forum (Fraser Institute) with Danielle Smith to tell her how subsidized child care is also 'bad.'
It’s the small bouncy ball in every box to keep the man child baby who is eating this stuff occupied for the rest of the day…

Hey Evil Hat team,
Promised this is the last time you’ll hear from me.
We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend.
I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can.
Want in before we close it up?
Best,
[redacted]
And then our reply:
Hi [redacted],
We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games.
In short, it's not "free work" it's theft.
Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit.

Someone in Anchorage’s Fur Rondy Snow Sculpture competition did the giant, snowman eating, tentacle monster from Calvin & Hobbes and I just have to say: they straight up killed it.

I think that the bigger lesson is that this is ALWAYS what happens when you put businessmen in charge of art.
Examples:
· Clip art replacing graphic artists in the 1990s.
· Apple ditching Steve Jobs in the 1980s.
· Apple now that Steve Jobs is dead.
· Anything involving Activision, EA, or Ubisoft.

"Years ago, we tore up a nuclear peace deal w/Iran.
Months ago, we bombed Iran
& "obliterated" their nuke capabilities.
And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran
bc of their nuke capabilities."
