Ah. A man of culture, I see.

You ever stop to think...we (Americans) are experiencing faux fascist country, all because Elon wanted to be a trillionaire but needed to make sure he killed all the investigations of fraud that were going on against Tesla? He wasn't kidding when he said "I'm screwed if Trump loses"

Dudes rock

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Doing this AFTER it's been officially declared a genocide is definitely a decision.

And she's VOCAL about it and has been the entire time. It's disappointing.

And apparently, they think all art is done by a single freelancer or small indie team of 5 people. Which...makes everything they say make sense. Also make sense as to why they don't understand why we think they're stupid

I've come to realize, they're entire thought process is built on CEO hype and genuinely not understanding creative fields. Some dude literally just said to me "well, one day art directors are gonna be irrelevant or they have to prove their worth. Ai will make them irrelevant"

Or work not being a slot machine. Or daily generation limits.

Also ...they never sat through a review where they absolutely hated what you did. So much so that, instead of long notes, they tell you what they didn't like, then move you on to something else and have someone else do it instead. (That happened to me once, I vowed "never again").

AI bros who think they're going to take an artist's job, never sat through a review where they said "this is almost perfect, just a few notes" and the meeting lasted an hour. So many small notes. So many "let's do it now on the call so we can see if it works."

Like...how do you fumble deals that were ALREADY MADE?!?!? Could've sat there, did nothing and took all the credit.

I remember in 2019 saying "one bad event is gonna show how weak the economy actually is." Then Covid happened. The economy has never actually recovered from Covid and AI is making it worse, while covering up how bad it is. Not to mention, certain people in power and their incompetence

That's the part that gives me hope. The fragility of their egos. And every world leader, thinks they're all a joke. It'll all be undone, but eventually

Just seen this on other lists so have to say it here:

indies, please do NOT give your back catalog to a "management" company whose entire pitch is "we'll schedule sales"

You can schedule your own sales, it takes a few hours every 6 months, some platforms even let you automate with a spreadsheet

Should've happened 2 years ago.

Are VCs screwed and money dries up for everyone OR do they get to sue and get their money back, because clearly AI is propped up on fraud? Does the government just let the bubble pop or do they force a bailout for an industry that SHOULD crumble?

That's a terrifying part. I think... it'll rip off the mask and show how bad the economy ACTUALLY is. But then... what happens with these companies that invested all the money into ai. Do the companies that went full throttle with it, higher back all or a portion of the employees they laid off?

its wild how slippery objective consensus reality is right now

.

They want you to move on.

They want you distracted by court drama, culture wars, and celebrity gossip.

That’s the playbook.

KEEP SPEAKING UP!

DONT LET IT GET PUSHED ASIDE!

"Far from it" is too generous. Grade A POS in my book and he is certainly the cautionary tale of "reap what you sow". And he still gets zero empathy from me. Just the tiniest But of sympathy because a human life is a human life. But that still doesn't make what happened right.

This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.

He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

This straight up feels like a hit tbh. Somebody sacrificed him without his knowledge. Cause, ain't no way, in the age of surveillance, that they've arrested 2 dudes that weren't the shooter.

Who said you have to love him? And again, how are we gonna crucify GOP for not doing it when it's us and then crucify Dems when we do it. I'm not even saying feel bad for the guy. I don't. But murder is murder and gun violence is fun violence. It's wrong. It's ok to say it's wrong.

...how are we gonna crucify the GOP for not saying "murder is bad, regardless of who" when the congressmen in Minnesota were murdered...then crucify Newsome for saying "Murder is bad, regardless of who"?

My game is finally announced. Super excited for the team!
