AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

For the Neve fans...
The wonderful Jessica Clark has her live Instagram signing this Saturday, December 13th starting 2pm PST.
Jessica was fantastic to work with and it was an honour watching her bring Neve to life. She really dialled in on what Neve cared about and who she wanted to protect.

So Disney can give the one of the biggest plagiarism machines out there 1 billion dollars but draws the line at… a grieving father‘s memorial for his child. Cool. Great. Fucking hell.

This is also why I hate Top 10 lists and awards shows, because as much fun as they can be to observe and think about, I hate what making art compete against art does to us. I don’t want to deal with the inevitable Sinners vs One Battle After Another debate. I wanna celebrate having two amazing films
I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked

I specifically had to frame it in terms of breaking customers’ trust. If a customer sees a corp’s AI photo/video, and clocks it as fake, they can’t trust that the company’s services actually provide real results either. They feel lied to, and won’t buy
(Which *should* seem obvious from jump, but 🤷)

I would love to know some of the points you brought up that helped provide your boss with perspective and encourage the reconsideration, if you don't mind sharing~

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

what you should do: repost art; write alt-text as much as you can; encourage others to do the same
what you shouldn't do: engage in harassment campaigns against people who don't write alt-text or repost art, either when they forget or ever. folks who use alt text never asked for this.

Trans people need to be careful about talking about DIY. Yes talk about it in the general sense, quote the facts and figures but be careful. Don't give away sources to cis folks. Don't talk to journalists about the details. They're coming for it.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.
Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Why not just make it possible for people to live their lives the way they live it? feed all the kids at school a hot nutritious lunch even if their daddy rich and their momma good looking. Let everybody go to the doctor free at point of use because wealth taxes cover it. budget so the bus is free.
