say what you want about it, the CEO being like “are you paying us?” is something i’ve seen verbatim on message boards and i find it invigorating

I would crush that chili and korean fried chicken plate.

i get it the self exile thing. don't be afraid to reach back out to them when you feel more comfortable though, it shouldn't be a perpetually isolated punishment ritual. ppl are prob going to want to hear from you again, even some of those you feel like you're hurting.

idk you v well or know what happened but if it wasn’t something horrible you can always just reappear. people need people.

There is nothing at stake here, this is people running jokes online in the morning.

God now I’m stressed imagining if every time I was slightly curious about the world around me as a young child I was actually playing Russian roulette with a crazy father who might pull out a compass and protractor and chain me to a desk because I asked how big Jupiter was.

Baffling thread. Yelling at a kid for such a low stakes reason? At least phrase it as some very light “wouldn’t you feel smart if you figured it out on your own?” type of shit. Child is stressed out locked in the bathroom and hes shouting to pick up a calculator rofl, it’s not even homework?

I think we agree so I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say here.

Not trying to speak for all digital artists here, just pointing out that nearly every field has AI detractors just as nearly every field as AI supporters, and that trying to create a narrative that it is only a single field that has an antagonism to it, for purely self-serving reasons, is absurd.

Are you limiting this to people from technical fields? It’d be odd to say that the only complainers about something as controversial as AI slop are from a skilled niche of industry when reactions in general are so polarized. You haven’t talked to, for example, a digital artist about it?
