I realize there are so many fights going on right now and it's so, so hard to find the spoons to do shit like this
But censoring people, removing them from public life, is a massive step towards genocide, and we MUST fight it

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day
Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.
If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

I need folks to stop using terms like "revolutionize" and "transform" to compliment emerging technologies. Neither word actually implies an improvement. Microplastics revolutionized how we consume and transformed human bodies. We're only now beginning to grasp how bad this was for us and the Earth.

When you say you need good art to make comics and that's why you need generative ai, it signals to me the narrowness of your understanding of comics and why it is that you think you can't make them

Who else remembers a few years ago when the Jujutsu Kaisen movie made almost 200 million at the box office and the dub cast got like $300 tops
Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.
They will tell you no. They might even laugh.
Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.

Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work?
Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.
