If you ever have an idea for a TV show or movie, make a comic or book first so YOU own the original rights.

Then, if one of these companies wants to adapt it, sure! but they'll only own their version of it.

Don't let your work get caught up inside some billionaire version of Hungry Hungry Hippos.

the AT&T-->Time Warner-->Discovery series of media mergers were some of the most pointless and disastrous business exercises ever conceived by man

so of course we're going to do it again

this time it's rumored they want $60 billion to sell this mess to Larry Ellison and whatever's left of CBS

Warner Bros. Discovery puts itself up for sale

The announcement comes after WBD previously said it would split in two.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

Anyone think the only reason Legends ZA is the only mainline E10+ pokemon game purely because of Canari?

I genuinely wonder when people are gonna start voting with their wallets and stop rewarding companies for using AI, Arc Raiders using it for genAI voices is frankly disgusting and it blows my mind that some people will defend it, and now Arc Raiders is sitting at 3rd top selling on Steam

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

My thought is that, despite what this one featured actor believes, the use of AI is not excused by the quality of storytelling or character development.

Especially when you’re talking about the eight thousandth iteration of the same Power Rangers thing. Bro.

A reply to a video by one of the actors featured in the Ninja Kidz short Ethan Fineshriber that says:

@EthanFineshriber

Bro really appreciate your covering this and giving your initial reaction to it. It is bigger budget than previous episodes that Ninja Kidz produced before but yeah it's not Disney sized budget. The world is absolutely moving toward using Al more with everything. I get why some people would be off-put a bit by it but dang guys isn't it or shouldn't it be more about how strong the story and character development are to some degree as well? To hate on things you haven't even experienced at all is like looking at a plate of chocolate and telling your mom you're going to hate it because it looks brown and brown foods won't taste good. Just give it a try before judging. Thanks again for the honest reaction!
Appreciate you.
