screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters”

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

4 frame comics. 1st : some random guy on the street is yelling "I think trans people belong. I'm an ally!". 2nd : we only see Stephie's head from a corner, who replies : "Awesome. Thanks!" 3rd : the guy continues : "I want you to know that I really see you as a girl. you are valid!" 4th : We now see that Stephie is being burned at the stake. She says : "OK. Can you help me out, now?" the guy raises his index in the air and says : "Slay, queen!"

man i don't know what to say anymore. i'm tired of sharing this kind of stuff but you gotta stand up for trans people or you're standing up for no one at all. i or any other trans person shouldn't have to spend our time wondering if we'll have any rights in a few years

The 'I am L' panel from Death Note, where L stands behind a shocked Light and says the famous line. Except in this image, the words are replaced with 'Actually Celeste is the name of the mountain'.

Reminder: Astro Bot didn't credit their translators, who made their game available in 28 languages.

In the credits, they're given a "thank you". That's all.

Would you do that for your dev team? Your graphics team? Your marketing or sales team?

Shame on you, Sony. #TranslatorsInTheCredits

My big project: The Death Generator.
It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.
