There were ownership limitations when I began my career in 1968, 7 am, 7 fm, and 7 tv. Diversity (bad word) of ownership, diversity of editorial opinion. Where did we go wrong. Barry Diller and Marty Pompadour walked in and a bunch of us left. I had enough in my fuck you fund.

GenAI hasn't changed society's attitude towards the arts much, except in the sense that it's actually accentuated society's broad contempt for artists.

And what really burns is that they STILL want the prestige of human art. That’s why they hide AI use. That’s why Sandfall didn’t disclose i until they were caught t. That’s why awards shows don’t want rules. They want the aura of craft without the cost of respecting the people who do it.

Your reminder that Lichtenstein never gave a dime during his lifetime to the comics artists whose work he shamelessly stole. Nor does his Lichtenstein Foundation which continues to profit greatly from those plagiarized images.
It's unforgivable. Lichtenstein was an immoral parasite.
