Many people are rightly pointing out that misanthropy is core to AI bros' ethos, but I also can't help but wonder if more actual humans were involved in making this commercial if it would have been less bleak. More humans involved would have meant more outside perspectives (and warnings)
So I watched this commercial out of a desire to rubberneck and the thing I thought was that as much as the AI sucked, the idea for the commercial was terrible in the first place.
This is a since-deleted LinkedIn post from the marketing agency that created the since-deleted AI-generated McDonalds Christmas ad, and all I can think of is how the energy consumption must've been about on par with a small suburb or heavy industrial load to produce 30 seconds of slop everyone hated

This is a very divided vote. It means we've been encouraging dissent. It now goes to the full committee. Please keep calling and urging your reps to reject it
KOSA passed out of the subcommittee in the House on 13-10 vote. Meaning that they are FINALLY listening to some opposition. But not enough to prevent the other age verification bills from passing, let alone this.
They MUST listen to opposition. Losing this fight is NOT an option.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

Starting to feel like my bank is intentionally fucking me over and trying to give me overdraft fees. Everything sucks as per usual.
It just keeps getting worse. In the last few weeks my grandmother has rapidly declined physically to go along with her continued mental decline. I feel as if me and my mom are going to have to become more hands on with caring for her. We are barely making money as is. It’s dire. ko-fi.com/clockiroll

It needs to be treated as importantly as "no animals were harmed during the making of this film"
Because yeah, for a time? Animals got harmed and people accepted it as a part of the process. And it was wrong.
So is this, and it needs to stop.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
(1) Patreon seems set to be blindsided by worsening paypros issues. They think it's all gravy and they are compliant in ways Steam / itch were not. Patreon staffer didn't even remember Steam & itch's names when addressing the question
(2) Feral will continue to have a hard time

My lower back: Because you turned very slightly to the left.

So, ah... you don't have to watch The Game Awards. Just watch the trailers when they drop after the show; save your sanity while harming on Keighley's bottom line.
