Dianne I’ve discovered an incredible new concept called Reddit Gold. It’s not money in the traditional sense but a kind of social currency. Fascinating

Just in case folks didn’t know:

- Causeway Studios does not use genAI ever for any reason
- Strange Scaffold has a strict no-AI policy within our constellation
- WDR Studios (Terrible Lizards) has not and will not ever use genAI
- projects I’ve worked on, or will work on, will NEVER use genAI

A key difference between Trek and Wars that can get lost easily. One is submarines, the other is fighter jets.

All this AI shit feels exactly like 3D in movies. They just couldn't accept that we didn't want it, but were so deeply invested that they couldn't admit they'd invested poorly.

One from the vaults! Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927) was ground-breaking in every way, including its array of poster designs

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories.

EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS.

Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that I’ve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if you’re not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and it’s just this drive that has always been there. It’ll always be there. And I think it’s preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time to…what, email? I don’t know what they think I’m going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, it’s just pointless. I think there’s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they don’t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.

Cursed is he who stretches a TV picture to the wrong aspect ratio. God is forgiving but He's given you a settings button for a reason. And do not kid thyself with "zoom and crop" mode, that looketh ridiculous too.
