The latest episodes of Monkey Wrench have been such a gift to the indie animation scene that when I saw the current budget, I got SOOO MAD that I literally DM’d Zeu asking how I could increase my support. Consider doing the same! Supporting the show, that is. Don’t DM him. I already did that for you

β€œSo you’re saying we should bully companies that use AI?”

two panels of a Nancy comic by Ernie Bushmiller. Nancy sees a NOTICE board and then blacks out the T with a pencil so the board reads NO ICE. Nancy smiles.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
