I feel like cheating is weird in that it’s the type of scandal that only ruins internet personalities these days. If these were “real” celebrities this wouldn’t be career ending. Think of all the actors who cheat and are still widely beloved.
Big difference between streamlining a creative process and completely eliminating it. Nobody is mad that typing replaced writing things by hand.
They use 3D printers to make faces using technology that removed art jobs of animators who hand-sculpted every face. They used technology on Wildwood that replaces hundreds of jobs just by using digital cameras, sound and editing.
It’s not a principle even Knight believes. We all want to use our technology and create a moral absolute out of where our mere taste drew a line.
George Pal hand carved wooden figures in different states of animation instead of using poseable armatures covered in latex. He was not doing something morally better than Ray Harryhausen or Pixar… or Ai.
This is yet another form of Pharisee self-righteousness. The judgement of Ai is not new, it draws on something very old.

It's hilarious how Western Russia apologists keep on insisting this is all about NATO and then Putin just goes out and says "no actually we're imperialist" on a regular basis.
Putin on Ukraine:
The lands lost by Kyiv are not "their territory"; they are historically Russian lands.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Kyiv predates Moscow by centuries, and southern/eastern Ukraine was ruled by the Cossack Hetmanate and Crimean Khanate long before 18th-century Russian Imperial annexation. In 1991, every Ukrainian region voted overwhelmingly for independence, recognized by Russia 1994.

it's really hard being in your 30s and doing all the things you should have done 10 years ago while all your peers have families and shit

English language Russian propaganda is always about NATO expansion or Nazis In Ukraine but Russian language Russian propaganda is just blood and soil arguments repackaged for modern Russian fascists.

I really hate the way people have begun interacting with Glitch shows where
A) object permanence is no longer a concept. If one show gets promotion, that clearly means the others stopped existing
B) people are genuinely surprised that hit slander tweets didn’t bury a show

there's evidence that the use of AI in schools is delivering the opposite of "intellectual flourishing"—maybe in some bubbles the use of these models is leading to more reading and philosophical debates but I'm inclined to think that's an exception to the rule

I am deeply fascinated by the modern right's insistence that "the elite" is a category that does not actually include the ultra wealthy who dominate society and dictate many of its laws, and is instead made up of socialist teachers, anti-genocide protestors, and "woke" baristas.

It’s amazing how Critical Race Theory magically stopped being an issue. Almost like it never was

One of the lesser nuisances of ai images is that I often use image search engines for reference when drawing, and they’re basically useless now. Just sifting through piles and piles of worthless identical crap
I really wish we got more episodes about Jack’s boyhood. We know he trained all over the world as a kid, but we never really got to see it beyond brief glimpses.
