First trailer for "Sekiro: No Defeat" anime series (based on the game). Glad to see Kenichi Kutsuna as director, Takashi Mukoda as action director, and Yuji Kaneko as art director (among others). Coming to Crunchyroll in 2026. >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRju...

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories. EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS. Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

I find it so egregious that Pinterest uses imagery on its site to train GenAi models. Imagery they do not own, and for the most part, is uploaded by third party users without the consent of creators. GenAi industries depend on exploitation to function and it’s gross futurism.com/pinterest-da...

"Flow" won the Oscar for Best Animated Film ♡
