cool economic system we’ve got here, where the people who have all of the money and none of the brains generally get to determine everything about the rest of our lives

Update: Made it eight because that's as many they have of the unusual size I like online 🫣

Buying six identical pairs of the one pair of black jeans I wear, as you do.

To train a model from scratch you need millions of $ and tens of employees. You also need terabytes of training data. No way to source that "ethically". You need stolen shit! To train a a proper AI model at home on an RTX 5090 you need to run it 24/7 for 317 years. That uses 1.5GW of power.

"Ethical AI" does not exist. There is no reality where you can have generative AI that's "ethically trained". There are ZERO AI models trained ethically, and there will never be any. The term has been made up by people who want a pass on using AI. You don't get that pass, slop peddlers.

FWIW, it's me. I made that quote. Screenshot as proof.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

i gotta say one more thing having worked in animation for years now, calling this "animated" is a fucking mortal insult. completely get fucked. animation is a creator thoughtfully and painstakingly giving something life. this is fucking nothing compared to animation

Darren Aranofsky's new project is AI slop, but what do you expect him to do? Satoshi Kon tragically passed away in 2010, so Aranofsky has long been lacking in an actual artist to steal from

My work has been in museums both last year and this year. I was a lead on a GOTY this year. I’ve also been laid off for almost a year now with no end in sight.

Overall: 28% laid off in the last 2 years US: 33% Design/narrative: 20% in the last 12mo (most impacted discipline) 48% said they haven't found a new job, and the survey admits these numbers are likely an undercount. Fun fact: the survey would boot you out if you'd been out of work >2 years.

Slowly forming the opinion that Guy Fieri is a trans masc icon. The soul patch belongs to the Gender Community

I don't know what it is but if I see a cis guy with a backwards cap or a flame shirt I'm gonna think he's corny. But if it's a trans man I'm about ready to say hell yea brother and dap him up

Did three dentist appointments in one day today and the actual procedures were fine but damn if my jaw ain't sore.

an update: the payment was pushed to go thru today, but i still turned it down and refused them to use my work. so they cancelled it. freelancers go thru enough shit with no leverage, so i used the little i had to hopefully send a message. probably not, but why not try anyway.

Jenna: "Want some estrogen?" Me: "Nuh uh uh. I know how this works. 'First one's free!'"

yesterday i was saying to myself "if only there was some way to the existing nintendo game the legend of zelda: the breath of the wild! but there's no way to do that. it's impossible." but ive clearly been proven wrong today. there is finally a way to play the nintendo game the breath of the wild

nintendo is going to drone strike the data center responsible for this

i've been watching the coyote on Alcatraz's progress with great interest. a week-ish ago, a coyote SWAM to Alcatraz for the first time and looked fuckin rough after the dangerous swim. but the coyote is doing fine now, gorging itself on unprepared birds & rats who are dealing with a sort of Godzilla

Reminding everyone, PLEASE, DO NOT sub to your favorite content creators through phone apps as it not only charges you more, it also takes a higher % from us AND to top it all off blocks the money from being received for 30 fucking days for some goddamned reason.

Tomodachi Life stream going great so far

90% of my animation friends are unemployed. I'm on hiatus. The value of animation is proven every year. Greenlight new shows! Don't overdevelop. Don't chase trends. You can't chase trends w/ animation! It takes too long! Tell good stories. Take risks."Demon Hunters" was a risk & look how it paid off

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

Need a Baldurs Gate mod that makes everyone sit down for a mandatory workplace sexual harassment training.

Every hetero romance in Star Trek sucks because the franchise, at its heart, is ruled by fujoshis. Worf and Jadzia only kinda worked because it was functionally Old Man Yaoi.

The Regulation Podcast is essentially four mostly normal men with different little quirks very slowly learning that the fifth man on the show is grosser and weirder than they can mentally handle.

It happened again! One of these days they're gonna get pulled over and I'll be late for work because of it 😩

Hot Skeletons in your Area, Pt.VII

A new Space Person is up today! titan.garden/entry/zumiel... What's better than one spiky troublemaker claiming to be planetary royalty? How about two of them?

🧵: the @newstatesman1913.bsky.social asked me to do an image for them with a quick turnaround of PM Keir Starmer in the "This is Fine" pose. Needed it quick. I was game, gave them the boring, samey image they wanted to blast Starmer on his handling of the country.

negativity used to be a fun little outsider hobby my depressed ostracised ass practiced on my own to feel special. but now every website naturally aggregates it, its become incredibly popular & everyone just feeds on it all the time and its boring. i hate it. wait no i mean i like it. no wait. shit

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

Emotionally mature people please help: What's a good response to someone apologizing for something they repeatedly do that isn't worth torching the whole relationship over? I don't "forgive you", it's not okay, and I've already said everything I have to say on the matter and what I expect from you.

AI TRAINING??? YES PLEASE!!!

'We are shutting it down:' Ubisoft unions call for international strike

Goblin week, huh? I can't believe the only 2 goblins I have to show were made this year. Long-term goal: making dozens of them.

I'm legit unfollowing people who never use alt text. You're literally typing on a text based app. So why are you making Canva images with little pithy quips and no alt text. I honestly don't understand it.

Nostalgia for the years before the global financial crisis is like Wile E. Coyote wanting to go back to the moment after he'd run off the cliff but before he started falling.

This is so important because A) she did it in response to Benedict Wong, a far more prominent actor, saying he's listening to the audiobooks a lot and B) did it unprompted, she specifically stopped the fluff interview to draw the comparison to the themes of their film and support trans people.

I've been hearing this refrain lately about AI- "Everyone uses it, some people are just honest about it." Bullshit. I can't stop search 'summaries' popping up, but otherwise it's not something I use or want in my writing process. Never prompted ChatGPT. Never spent AI credits on Microsoft/Adobe.
