Congrats it's femdom Friday tomorrow

A moment of intense intimacy, sweet and gentle like a delicate embrace that whispers harmony and well-being... In your arms I blossom and my soul travels lightly between your heart and your welcome... Words are superfluous and the soundtrack is the rhythm of our hearts... Artwork by Pepe Ibiza

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

Please keep creating, even if you think you suck at it, please keep going. What you're doing matters so much more than you realize in a world that is actively trying to suck out creativity and heart from the world for the sake profit and greed Be the heart the world needs

We employ over 80 artists to carefully work on every single part of the animation and creative process. You will never get the nuance, complexity and beauty of a Ghibli film without the human hand and their love. We will never use AI to replace art in our works.

How to use AI ethically: 1) DO NOT USE AI. THERE IS NOTHING ETHICAL ABOUT IT.

REMEMBER, KIDS!!! Lesson of the day is not become an AI CHUD!!! Made this in light of this week’s art news. 🦊 #art #furryart #furry #AntiAI #NoAI #ProtectArt

There is a grotesqueness of genAI in that we'll have these faux philosophical arguements focusing whether it's really art or not meanwhile irl it is only able to marginally function due to transnational exploited labour and requires an obscene ecologically damaging infrastructure to facilitate it

I have many thoughts about animation/art and perfectionism, and how GenAI will prey upon that. It's not clear atm, but I hope it's clear that GenAI is not the solution or "the easy way out". Eliminating artists is not going to heal the community. Make your art and embrace the imperfections.

Ideas are cheap. Anyone can have ideas. Everyone HAS ideas. There’s no barrier of entry for having an idea. You don’t need genAI. Scribbling your idea onto a piece of paper is infinitely more creative and rewarding than feeding it to the stolen slop machine in return for a soulless render.

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.

No, genAI isn't in every game. No it isn't going to be. Screw you and your defeatist stance. Some people actually care about artwork.

Just my two cents, but if I was Gabe and AI data centers/genAI were causing my hardware prices to skyrocket, I'd be banning every single game that uses genAI off if Steam

GenAI creators are not creators.

"These systems merely imitate certain functions of human intelligence. In doing so, they often surpass human intelligence in speed and computational capacity, offering tangible benefits across many fields. Yet this power remains entirely tied to data processing." - Pope Leo (99)

"More power does not necessarily imply something better ... If technological development advances without a corresponding ethical and social progress, the result may be an increase in means without a growth in humanity: “having more” without “being more.” - Pope Leo (93,94)

"Technology is not simply a tool. When it becomes the standard by which everything is judged, it begins to dictate what matters and what can be discarded, reducing creation to an object of exploitation and human beings to mere cogs in a system driven toward ever greater efficiency." - Pope Leo (92)

"We must avoid the 'Babel syndrome,' the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance."

Happy Birthday, Wanderer! #GenshinImpact #Wanderer I've told you there's no need for gifts, so what's with this handmade thing? The craftsmanship is... mediocre. Is this how you see me? Want more of the Wanderer? See Genshin Impact's TikTok! hoyo.link/b0zfBBAd

Actually, Wanderer is the real protagonist of Genshin Impact. In fact, this is Wanderer's world and you're lucky to be a part of it.
