Not really. Creatives working in very different styles and themes aren't competition with each other. Different clients want different things.

To all you GenAI artists, do you even want a world that is JUST AI content everywhere? Be honest. If you want to compare this to the invention of the camera, no photography wanted to eliminate painting. No 3D animator wanted to eliminate 2D. I think your work is slop but surely
We need to stop fighting AI slop with the expectation it will go away or we can legislate it. The cats out of the bag on this one, I'm afraid. But LOTS of people want human art in all its forms and what we need to do is build the new infrastructure to make and support it

This can be a revolution and a Renaissance but I won't pretend it'll be easy and painless. Commercial and content art was a way for artists to hone our craft and make money. That will be harder. But human art will not go away. The infrastructure will just change

The idea of a superintelligent future of abundance where money wonโ€™t matter is such bullshit. Iโ€™m ashamed to see otherwise intelligent people pushing this nonsense.

Tech down, almost everything else up. Investors are finally drawing a line between building AI and using it. Building is a capex problem, and the bill is getting large. Using it is a question of whether people and organisations learn to work with these systems, which no earnings call can answer.

Then do it. Go teach kindergarteners and change wound dressings. Go do the 2 am feeds. Remember all the allergies, birthdays, and clothing sizes for the kids, and make sure to sign the permission slips. Take care of your infirm parents. No one is stopping you.
Men do everything that a women can do and better. Your gender offers zero to society outside of reproduction.

The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

this attitude might genuinely be the only way the right can ever pivot on the transgender culture war lmao

If youโ€™re a man and you want to chop your cock off and be a woman, I simply do not care. If youโ€™re a woman and want to grow a cock, by all means, have it. Go be whatever the fuck you want. I support your right to do whatever it is you want with your body. Itโ€™s none of my business. I donโ€™t care. Why are you coming at me about this??? Do you understand how crazy you come off just messaging me about this random shit? Go do something productive.

This is the rub. Why keep pushing the technology and pretending like everyone had to use it. That was never done with 3D, motion capture, and other tools. Just let people make art the way they want to. Stop trying to solve a "problem" that no one asked for
This year's View Conference was inspiring. The endless AI pitches were less so, crossing into total bullshit. AI Evangelists (one speaker's actual title) insisted everyone uses genAI, even as established directors explicitly said otherwise. My thoughts: cartoonbrew.com/events/view-โ€ฆ

The thing with AI art and content and the people who evangelize for it, why can't you just accept there will be people who don't want it. I don't care how good it gets. I don't care how "efficient" it is. I don't want it. I don't want to watch AI TV shows with fake people made by

No one. I don't want to listen to AI music made by no one. I don't want to watch AI movies or play AI video games or see AI stuff on my feed. I want art made by people even if it costs more and takes longer to make. Accept that. Have your AI shit and leave us alone.

hearing about how many times the team was forced to pivot, and then the absolute meat grinder of layoffs and exits from the company, its a miracle the game came out at all.
"veilguard didnt make the money spent making it back" idk man do u think ea forcing them to make a game 3 times had anything to do w that. what about the staff retention rate as morale suffered. idk. must be bioware's fault.

Its sad-funny watching the Chud movement celebrate the Corporations continually destroying gaming with price hikes, mismanagement & studio closures believing its all happening cuz of "activist writers" and DEI! It plays perfect with their dumbass "woke boogeyman" scapegoat grift, when this sort of rampant unchecked corporatism has existed for decades in the industry and has been a cycle. When corporate entities stupidly chase short-term shareholder value, live service slop without substance & market consolidation then gamer atrophy & mass layoffs are bound to follow. But NO GUYS, its ACHTUALLY cuz "purple haired women in gaming are destroying our games! and now they are jobless! Haha!! this'll teach those devs!! GO WOKE! GO BROKE!! hurr durr!" geezuz๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

โ€œGet out of our hobby!โ€ weirdos when the people theyโ€™re referring to have been in said hobby well before they showed up. These folks contribute nothing but hate and negativity in these spaces, theyโ€™re worthless parasites whose entire existence is to hate.
