We have to face facts: WW2 combat flight sims disappeared from the mainstream and fascism began making a return. Indeed they were replaced by their Wario / Scratch: the live service combat arcade game, where military hardware was stripped of context and rendered morally neutral and brand safe.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

We had a perfectly good word for what “content” was supposed to represent: media.
We make media, which benefits from media literacy. It’s thoughtful and meant to be interpreted and considered.
Content is the fast food equivalent, optimized and generated by systemic profit machines.

In 2024 I'm ending the use of the word "content" for everything I do.
I write
I take photographs
I build models
I paint
I make chill videos
I do *NOT* 'produce content'.
We should stop using that word. It's soul sucking and awful. It implies consumption is the only end game, not inspiration.

Really astonishing that the GOP looks at the bombardment of Gaza and the first thing they can think of is "How can we use this to help rich people pay less taxes?"
The GOP is proposing an aid package to Israel that is paid for by cutting IRS funding -- IRS funding that lets the IRS pursue rich tax cheats. Cutting IRS funding COSTS us money. No matter WHAT the issue, the GOP has one focus and one aim only: protect the rich. That's it. That's their only mission

Y'all are absolutely going to need to quit asking people to explain gaps on their resumes.
It is none of your damned business. What's more, have you even TRIED to get a job in the last decade? And you still have the audacity to even ask that damned question?

I think it’s notable that some of the first real limits on the use of generative AI were brought to us by labor. Not Congress. Not “ethical” AI shops nestled inside big tech companies. A union.
One of the best parts of the WGA deal: AI has now hit a brick wall in Hollywood, *and that includes adaptations.*
Based on the deal, AI can't be source material. So if you're a publisher, AI novels or graphic novels or whatever just became that much less appealing because *they can't be optioned.*
