my ko-fi acts as my main art account, I post literally everything there from WIPs to finished work very frequently. if you follow me for my work you are seriously missing out

I try to keep as much public as possible, I only paywall story spoiler stuff, so you can give it a follow to keep track

We are actually doing something. DON'T STOP CALLING.
Morale at paypros call centers is in the toilet right now. It’s not just normal Black Friday stress, they’re being pounded. Corporate is pressuring bosses to end the paypros call campaigns. Source familiar w/ internals at MC stressed that folks should stand their ground but be kind to agents (1)

I’m glad we are getting responses to what Tim said like this, seen a small number of devs who agree with him but not cos they like ai but cos they just sound like they given up and taking the easy path of going with the classic “it’s inevitable”. People do not like crap and GenAi makes only crap.
What a great headline

oh my god the final boss is a horus titan, this is as stressful as it is incredible 😰💦

kudos to the game designers for making it "what if an entire cauldron puzzle wants to kill you and the solution is don't die"
finally playing through the Burning Shores DLC in Horizon Forbidden West and the sidequest with the old world messages from Ron and Brianne has me desperately sniffling into my sleeves

Horizon games really are at their best with the intimate reflective character stories from the end of the world

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.

Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

I'm currently moving apartment units (same building, one floor up, long story involving ant infestations that won't quit and every direct neighbor smoking openly in their units and balconies) so it's been a bit chaotic for me between bocchama's scare and family matters, but things should settle soon

convenient I can word search 'labor' in my post history and just reboost every banger I've ever written about creating under capitalism instead of repeating myself

in the world of web 2.0 trying & failing to evolve into web 3.0, creators have no funding. gAI made freelancing impossible, private equity has strangled media industries into hemmoraghing labor, and people only pay for art if it's a service since the idea of sponsoring art is "well what do I get?"

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.

stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.

they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.

fuck them, pay labor.

recognizing a lot of social expectations are actually labor issues can be pretty grounding/freeing

Models? it's their job to be professionally pretty.

Actors/performers? it's their job to be professionally entertaining.

Artists/creatives? It's their job to be professionally imaginative.
