I'm 33, and I remember the exact words of a kid in seventh grade who asked me, "So you think GAY PEOPLE deserve RESPECT?"
okay going by the tv show where the teenager coming out as gay has universal support in 1987 I’m starting to think people don’t know just how *recent* any level of societal acceptance was and that being under the age of 35 means you can’t process a time when it wasn’t a settled issue
they will

It's kind of weird how some creators go to such great lengths to defend Gen AI but then say "it's just a tool." If I had a special high tech scissors that was "just a tool" but the company had stolen from all my friends and peers and also cut wrong 20% of the time, I would just use plain scissors.

one time I described your aesthetic as the hot babysitter from an 80s movie, and I stand by that. You are also a genuinely kind and supportive and extremely talented person or whatever (gay)

thinking about this straight to VHS Rudolph movie from when I was a kid where there's a song with lyrics re: his nose where his parents are distressed about it
"It looks a little pink..."
"He'll grow out of it! I think..."

Every time I'm told a dog is "not usually so friendly to strangers" I'm filled with so much pride that I'm sure in another life I star in a cautionary fable against hubris where I'm brutally murdered by a Bichon Frise

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages."
Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder.
I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Nico had to get some teeth pulled--turns out he had some genetically whack teeth (estimated based on them being the same on either side/the nature of their whack-tivity). He's doing incredibly well! Jas is helping. After getting over about 4 hours of non-recognition aggression.
