the thing is, if genAI & LLMs were just a niche little tech toy for like a few thousand techies to play with, it'd probably be fine. people would have concerns, but it wouldn't be a BIG deal.
but they have been declared The Future, the whole of the future, and so now we have to fucking fight it

“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?”
For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.
Because I care about people.
You dipshit.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

My disdain for Fallon and animosity to Altman grow ever stronger 😇
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"
Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

The right made a felon and rapist POTUS.

Use this post to speedrun past a lot of discourse
Liberals have this mental model they keep trying to update where they try to fit the words and actions of right wingers into a consistent moral framework while in reality what the right believes is "I should get everything I want" and "I can say or do anything to get that"

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

I'm beyond excited to see this released, and I've already got tickets for the virtual screening. The simple act seeing this through to completion is awe-inspiring, and I think the hard-work and passion is, at the very least, worth a few dollars and an exciting movie night if you're able!
Tickets now on Sale!

You’ll be able to watch my 2hr solo animated feature film for 15 days only from Sept 15-30! Excited to share the last 3 years of my life with the world!

This is so so sad, I grew up watching their animated shows i even tried getting work there a few times but due to Canadian hiring laws was not meant to be so sad it can never happen now.😢
Not officially confirmed but Nelvana, one of Canada's most storied animation studios, appears to have quietly closed down on Friday, yet another casualty of Corus Entertainment's struggle to survive.
