The AI industry is dying, and negative coverage is swaying investment opinions.

Repost to kill it faster.

Always Sunny in Philadelphia meme - I've got you brother. A man labeled AGI Industry dangles off a building while another man, labeled AI Boosters, tries desperately to pull him up. That is, until another man labeled Everybody Else tries to push the AGI Industry man off the building with a piece of two-by-four lumber.

There has to be another video website out there that is a better alternative than YouTube for creators. Would love to make videos again but everything is SHIT!

Various VTubers report TwitchCon threw out fans’ gifts from Meet & Greets

Ironmouse: “It breaks my heart to know staff threw out all the gifts. I should have known better than to trust them and taken care of everything ahead of time. I am so sorry everyone.”

I deeply apologize to all the tubers and the fans who had meet and greets at the vtuber booth this year. It breaks my heart to know staff threw out all the gifts. I should have known better than to trust them and taken care of everything ahead of time. I am so sorry everyone.

I was informed that the gifts people brought for me at the Twitchcon M&G were thrown out by con/venue staff.
I spoke to each of you about how excited I was to open your gifts, and I know you took the time/ effort.
I'm still so grateful, but I'm so sorry I couldn't see them...

corruption is such a helpful lens for understanding so much of what is broken right now. all of these people actually need accountability. allowing them to act with impunity just lets them make all manner of bad decisions. we need to help them rediscover boundaries

David Sirota @davidsirota.com · 14h

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered.

levernews.com/book

Supreme Court ruling: "This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy."

If you were at TwitchCon and experienced or witnessed harassment, especially from IRL streamers, I'd like to speak with you for a story.

Chuck Dixon created Bane. I don't bring this up to argue that creating that character somehow negates his current behavior, but to talk about a problem very prevalent in comics. And that is bigoted people making bank off the very marginalized groups they later demonize and discredit.

Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:

"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."

Something to keep an eye on.

A promotional image from Mihoyo for "AI Job Openings" that explains "in the world of Honkai we have always believed that AI can create infinite possibilities"

Examples of 2D artwork and 3D models that demonstrate how the AI would allow them to see how models would appear when translated from one to the other

An example of the Honkai Star Rail mascot Pom-Pom chatting to the playing using AI technology

Screenshot of a text exchange via Signal between Anna Bower and Lindsay Halligan.

Halligan: By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

Bower: I'm sorry, but that's not how this works.
You don't get to say that in retrospect.

Halligan: Yes I do. Off record.

Bower: I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked. But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story?

Halligan: It's obvious the whole convo is off record.
There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never even told me about a story.
