The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them.

Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?

Ontario to introduce bill exempting Premier, cabinet from FOI requests Government’s proposed changes follow its loss of court battle over call logs for Ford’s personal cellphone

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions.

Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

"live action of [insert animation] in the works--" please just fund animation instead of treating live action as the final pokemon evolution of a story

'live action' adaptations of animation projects offends me. setting aside the cultural disrespect toward animation on a whole, it's a fundamental dismissal of animation as narrative -- the point of drawing is inherently allegorical and abstract. the metaphorical nature of animation IS the story

wish we had a low-stakes sort of art gallery website, that didn't really try to be this huge like... massive platform community or something with all these bells and whistles. Just let me post art and follow people.
an instagram replacement I guess

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

Hi, AAA dev here. This is a sucky take and I wish people would stop pitting gamedevs against each other.

I’m constantly stuck between feeling like I need to have a smart phone, and wanting to go back to a text and call only flip phone. The urge to just get rid of any ”smart” things is so strong but I’d also missing having a good camera and access to a few things…

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

My latest video on Ford's "basket weaving" OSAP comment has reached the "Study whatever you want but don't expect the gov to pay you for it" crowd, and I don't think they grasp how desolate their lives would be if there was no art, no culture, no history. We can't have a society of only STEM majors.

Had a conversation with an animation studio that was telling me AI is the future. I asked how they'd make money because "if you're using the same model that's available to everyone else for free, why would they pay you to do it?"

Response: "They just will."

I can't help but think they... won't?

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us.

Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023

people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

Announcing the end of life for Adobe Animate.
Thanks for bringing your ideas to life with Animate.

Starting March 1, 2026, the app will no longer be available for purchase. Existing Animate customers may continue to use the app. Support will continue for enterprise customers for three years, through March 1, 2029. For all other customers, support will continue for one year, through March 1, 2027.

In the future, check out Adobe After Effects for complex keyframe animations and Adobe Express for one-click animation effects that you can easily apply to photos, videos, text, shapes, and other design elements.

I AM FURIOUS.

Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate.

And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.
