Creative solidarity means:
If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover"
If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references"
If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc.
Never help AI steal another medium
No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

After almost two whole years I have finally finished all twelve squares for my loom knit sampler afghan, my biggest loom knitting project to date!
I still need to attach the squares to each other and make a border, but I'm proud of myself for seeing this through!

this is the realest shit ever posted and when you become a parent you spend a lot of time internally screaming about it
People who argue "who cares it's just for kids" all I can say is fuck right off. Kids deserve thoughtful, well-made movies that challenge them just as much as adults do. Kids aren't stupid, and they remember how movies affect them basically forever.

The worst part about not having a supervisor to report to is being forced to come in with a cold/flu until the closing member of QA comes in.
My voice is shot, I'm coughing up a storm and don't get me started on the bathroom trips
Glad to be home to rest and that I got the day off tomorrow.

The people who make generative AI tools are trying to sell destinations by waging a war on journeys.
They take it for granted that no one enjoys the experience of doing anything creative, provocative, or cognitively demanding. That's the audience they pitch to.
And that's why they're failing.

'you can generate a different ending every time you view a movie!'
'you can have endless text conversations with NPCs in games!'
'you can summarize a novel, you don't have to read it!'
the pitches for genAI really reveal how much the people behind it just... hate art.
like. *hate* art. deeply.

AI's adoption by megacorps is built entirely around force and deception because they know how unpopular it is otherwise.
An individual suing Amazon is one thing: a whole company doing it has sturdier legs to stand on.

Kadokawa stated that it did not approve of an AI dub, and Sentai stated that it wasn't aware of the dub beforehand.

Indie animation and game development is here to stay because it MUST be. Otherwise soon enough there won’t exist a sector of the industry willing to tell or support the stories already starting to be snuffed out.
Not great that a foreign state that regularly executes queer folks is now going to own the major AAA publisher that most consistently supported queer stories and characters.
Saudi Fund [PIF] will own almost all of EA (93.4%) after buyout according to filing

I would also like to separate "I don't like it" with "it's bad".
begging people to learn to separate “i like it” with “it’s good.”
i like some things that are objectively crap. you can admit that you do too. it’s fine
