‘THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS: THE LAST ACT’ was the #1 film at the domestic box office yesterday. The film earned $7.8M in its opening day.

i hate that palworld made a bajillion dollars so we have to keep hearing about this bullshit

Nothing beats a jelly-filled donut!

BREAKING: the Massachusetts House just passed one of the best data privacy bills in the country. It includes a total ban on the sale of precise location data and includes a private right of action allowing people to sue Big Tech over data abuses. HUGE WIN! But there’s more work to do 🧵

SLOP WILL EAT ITSELF

'Backrooms' director Kane Parsons isn't a fan of generative AI "If I could snap my fingers and make generative AI disappear forever, I probably would" "Creatively, I get no enjoyment from using those tools. It defeats the purpose entirely for me"

Black Forest Labs (like Stability AI) likely took a bunch of work off the internet in order to train their AI. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

This bill is legitimately the thing we've been waiting for. Forcing AI to reveal it's sources would cripple it, because it literally can't comply with the law, because all of it is stolen- they didn't record it Please sign to hasten the bubble popping

"Any AI-assisted assets were either replaced or refined by humans in order to maintain the creative and artistic vision of the development team. " This is not the "get out of GenAi hack jail free" card you big brains think it is.

Interesting. I leverage the knowledge of AI tools to help me efficiently know what to not buy.

happy pride! 🏳️‍⚧️

Tis the season, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fans, happy pride month. (original version by @explorersguild.bsky.social )

stop generating crap you look stupid! 🐟

Found out that martin scorcese supports ai so I made a martin scorcese free version you can use instead

It’s always these old fucks with established prominence and careers who want to make things easier on themselves with no regard for how it damages the next generation of creatives. It’s exhausting.

The perfect time to use the Gay Luigi line.

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Nintendo Music now has a web player music.nintendo.com/en-US/

Yeah we gotta regulate this shit immediately.

happy *quiet, chill* pride

Happy Pride Month. I want to say that no matter what some terrible government, bigot, or chud says, you are valid and the world is better for having you and the LGBT+ community in it. Your journey is your own to tell.

Happy Pride, everyone! No matter where you are on the rainbow, y'all are awesome. And even when this month is over? Y'all are still gonna be awesome. Loving, respecting and supporting queer people should be celebrated and encouraged every single day, not just one month.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Repost to scare Bluesky developers

I've worked at the 'big' studios. While I'm on the writing and showrunning side, none of my projects have used AI in their process. I feel confident about my designers, directors, and story artists doing the same. These folks are convincing themselves 'everyone is doing it'.

Sharing so more people can be aware of this!

well shit, yeah I do feel kinda better when you lay it out like that Feels so hopeless just because I see it every day. Doesn't mean it'll be here forever

if you're feeling down about genAI please remember that it is a) intensely unpopular b) immensely unprofitable c) being propped up by people who NEED it to succeed, will spend any amount to create an illusion of a win but still keep failing and leaving the people they work with caked in shit

You guys very clearly push for AI yourselves given the features introduced already, so this makes you seem rather lacking in principles. Jumped on the AI techbro train, then pushing a "no-Ai search" when seeing people are pushing back against Google's slop. Pick a lane.

I GOT THE DOMAIN! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!1 🥳🎉 Paint​.NET is now at paint.net! Well, it will be just as soon as I push all the buttons to migrate content and set up redirects from getpaint​.net etc. For now it's just a "hey go here" redirect page.

“Normal” is an illusion born of fear🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 You are exactly who you were meant to be. One day, we won’t need pride flags or categories, for every love and identity will simply be accepted as human. Until then, I’ll keep sending this: Your heart is precious. Your soul is beautiful beyond any label

Very relevant now

Good on him for dropping out and scrapping the project, but the trust has been absolutely broken. Jorge is going to have to do some major - and i mean MAJOR - work on getting that trust back.

Using AI to generate images IS NOT real art. Pass it on.

GenAI creators are not creators.

STOP TELLING ME AI IS THE FUTURE OH MY GOD

This weird pattern of has-been Gen X celebrities getting suckered into shilling for GenAI needs to be studied. Bunch of ex-creatives. X-creatives, if you will. By definition you aren’t an animator if you’re having an AI make moving images for you.

need more companies to be forthcoming and just say “this is happening because of AI btw”

I cycle through a lot of game ideas (side effect of audhd brain lacking dopamine) but I always eventually come back to the idea of a monster rpg. I just think they're fun and importantly also very replayable

Kojima: At long last, we have created The Patriots from my iconic video game Metal Gear Solid 2: Do Not Create the Patriots

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

we’re sooooooo close to the bubble popping in ai i can literally taste it

hey, fellow brits and europeans in this heat wave! If you're on any of these you're more sensitive to the heat. Make sure you drink water, stay in the shade, and avoid over-exertion.

relevant to a convo in discord but posting out of context lets destroy the internal and external monologue of being weird for having any type of interest. be smart, dont hurt others, and go live your life

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:
