the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

This is awful, and Diaz has QTP'd that they have insider info that @crunchyroll.com execs consider the current backlash against their enshittification of subtitles too small to matter.
They've bent to backlash before tho with trying to lower video quality.
This is an important one, anime fans.

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:
How is AI *really* impacting jobs?

What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

I’d also like to add: Share artists’ work.
It’s not unusual for me to see people sharing AI images to dunk on them.
For every AI image you share, even for the sake of outrage, you could have been sharing real art from a real artist.

i feel so bad for artists who now have to deal with accusations that their work is ai
Its so demeaning to the life of work they put into their art, and it must suck to have to argue that your work is in fact your own.
If you can draw, that's really cool, I think you are great.

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."
Which is true for trans kids too.

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.
