This mfer had a brain worm, collects road kills, sounds like a dial up modem, works out in jeans. This is a uniquely American arrogance.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
This is an excellent thread but to add my own two cents: the market speaks and they don't want it. Yvall love the free market so much until it's against your slop machine, but you don't get to pick and choose
It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot
A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead:

I feel obliged to once again reiterate that lay offs and closures are not a reaction to the economy, but a failure of leadership. Each wave of closures and layoffs should be looked upon as a consequence of greed and incompetence. If you can't keep your people employed, you are bad at your job.
the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity.

Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality
See now we're fucking talking
One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes:
*No AI or No Convention*
Conventions are made by and for the community
‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI:
“A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

Fun fact, Laika movies very rarely make their budgets back at the box office, but they keep putting out bangers entirely because they have the one good rich boy in the entire ecosystem.

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely. Coward hasn’t even drawn h
No but seriously, letting people know about the course is tough these days. A repost will help me out a lot and will help somebody who could use the course find it. I can't afford ads or boosts and must solely rely on signal boosts.
It's a good course and it's as cheap as I can possibly make it.

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money.
Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.
