Lots of people in the QRTs blaming this as a Twitter thing, but I've seen the exact same behavior here on controversial works.
OFTEN.
Just... let creators fucking cook, people. Don't be an asshole, and try to remember that a writer writing messy characters is not "a writer endorsing [XYZ]."
Im so fucking angry about the harassment artists get. I can’t string together anything coherent but if you’re an artist making call outs about OTHER artists because their fictional story is just a bit too icky in themes, the art you create will always be marred-
Been replaying DGS with my sibs and realizing I actually forgot so much of the details… and also it’s such a good game with beautiful music AGHHHH will to live reestablished… I LOVE ACE ATTORNEY 🥺💗
*sigh*
If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.
Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.
Got an email from Adobe saying that they were nearly doubling the cost of my creative cloud subscriptions and adding a bunch of Gen AI dogshit I didn't ask for!
If you don't want to get charged you have to log in and downgrade to a "standard" plan that's just the fuckin apps.

If you replace your entire workforce after each project, you’ll never grow the generational talent your studio could be known for. You’ll never be Disney, or Ghibli, or Nintendo.

This is incredibly irresponsible journalism. You cannot write this headline without acknowledging all the times Elon Musk has promised to pay for things, then didn't.
Let's take a stroll down memory lane. 🧵

hearing someone say they regularly talk to ai chatbots for anything does feel like they just rolled up their sleeve to reveal a festering zombie bite
see?
here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

Postal services around the world that use birds as logos. One of my favorite poster graphics I've made! 🐦✉️
I don't use Grammarly, but if I did, I would delete my account because fuck this. Nothing says you respect writers like scraping all their work without their consent and using their name recognition and catalog for your AI bullshit that no one asked for or wants.
This headline absolutely floors me because it is in fact that simple. It's as simple as not hunting for the next heated rivalry. But instead making good, character driven, fun, emotional TV from writers/directors/stars who may not be proven yet and without MASSIVE IP/Flash/budget.
Specificity in a character makes them feel real and grounded, which then makes their emotional arc ALSO feel real and grounded, and thus... relatable. Additionally, it reinforces that so much of what we feel, what we struggle with, find purpose in, is universal.
Holy shit ur lrps are gorgeous wtff
PERFECT BABY 🥹💖
Lot of people being real defeatist about LLM news today and acting like you lost when you can just put that energy to mocking companies and organisations that use any kind of genAI and shame the fuck out of them. They hate that and it’s easy to do. Try inventing more words for them to ban!!
If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.
This is amazing.

Iron Circus Animation blew through about ~$425,000 to make the 27-minute Lackadaisy pilot, and industry folks marvel at how cheaply we got it done.
If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time
This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen
