"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

Sora is trained the same way as other models Disney is currently in court for, for what Disney claimed were a “bottomless pit of plagiarism”.
By Disney’s own legal logic, is Disney now liable for Open Ai’s own “bottomless pit of plagiarism”? Deeply stupid move. Hope lawyers are paying attention 🤷🏻♀️

NOW is the time to cancel subscriptions en masse, ask for refunds on pre-booked Disney holidays, return Disney merchandise, and flood their customer service department with complaints. The ONLY way to change their mind is, hit them in the wallet.

I don't put it on blast much because sometimes I don't have the spoons to respond in a timely manner (and often people don't believe me when I say they can keep poking me until I get around to it) but I'm pretty much always open to answer questions, give advice, critique, whatever.
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

Imagine telling a scary campfire story like "no I swear this is true, a friend of a friend of mine knew someone kidnapped by a ghost, this is real" and then getting to the end like "so I'm making this bit up, but this is how the story ends-"
Anyway why is the 5th Hell House not found footage
