I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

I know everyone wants Tartakovsky to do more passion projects like Fixed, the movie about the dog losing his balls, but if I'm being completely honest, I wouldn't mind seeing him do more action stuff like this again.
Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.
After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

If you ‘love the open web’ you wouldn’t have any need to censor…… on top of the self flagging/tags many artists already do.
Your new TOS is a complete pivot and it’s not in the interest of the majority of your base. Moderation in favor of purity culture is not “free and open”

1. Bluesky doesn’t downrank links
2. You can choose your own algorithm from among thousands
3. The whole app is open source
This keeps it a free and open platform by design, leading to better click-throughs and traffic to your site.

Don't forget that paypros were also largely responsible for other censorship issues too. It always comes down to the money. So, do not stop the pressure on these companies just because we are mad at bsky too!
Anyway, these policies and guidelines are following pay processors demands 'cause we know BlueSky will need to implement sources of income sooner than later, and they're bending the knee to Visa and Mastercard to comply.
So keep pressuring paypros!

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around
There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates
Most notably:
1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"
So what can we DO about it?

The moment you start accepting media using genAI for "small" things or just tiny aspects of production, they will only start outsourcing more of the process to AI
