That a politician would be standing up for trans people in this moment is deeply important and meaningful.

This workshop will initiate with people from Mexico, Latin America and Europe to strengthen the ties of stop motion and collaboration and, in exchange, education will be provided for free for one Mexican / Latinamerican student for the first ten years also.

i just think if you’re hot, you shouldn’t have to learn how to parry

I’m l not gonna lie, these questions suck but you should let them know how and why. We all need to tell them that this is mostly a grift. It is obvious by the way the questions are framed that they don’t know.

Ryan is an extremely cool human, super smart and crazy versatile!! You’d be lucky to hire him!

The Freedom Frogs of Portland are multiplying. It’s beautiful.

The best time to unionize was ten years ago. The second best time is right now.

this is a great exchange because I feel like it really sums up the heart of the continuing confusion as to why artists don't want this shit: AI bros aren't artists, they have never tried to be artists, so they don't understand why control over your process is important to realizing your vision

getting so stressed and pissed off that I crabwalk up the wall like one of those horrifying australian spiders the size of sombreros

Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.

ye see this shits not inevitable never give up in advance

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

manifesting the concept of consequences

AI still can’t do this

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume

Nearly a decade of organizing in Vancouver's animation and VFX industries is transforming wages and working conditions for the workers behind shows like Star Trek: Lower Decks, even amid a historic slowdown in film and TV. I spoke to workers + organizers about it for @pressprogress.ca

Hey authors, the official list of Anthropic works is available for searching. secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup

The workers at ZA/UM Studio have unionized. First recognised games union in the UK, too. May many others follow. www.gameworkers.co.uk/workers-at-z...

better sportist (fatter, more symmetrical)

Does anyone care is almost never the right question. People care. The issue is that people don't know what to do.

This whole section really.

Stanford researchers found that AI-generated "workslop" is actually making people less productive, in part because workers have to correct errors or decode the useful information/intent buried in a flood of auto-generated garbage:

Of course not lmao Generative AI is entirely built on the of stealing art and prose you did not create and throwing it in a blender to make something that vaguely resembles what you want. That's literally the type of user base you've cultivated. You want thieves to pay to steal? Are you serious?

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

We like to imagine we’re the consumers of tech, but we have actually become unwitting and uncompensated parts of a production process in which the product is our data.

Honestly the AI bubble is really feels like one of the most galling misallocation of societal resources, just hyperscalar dumping wheelbarrows into a hole hoping to birth a moatless machine god

"“AI isn’t magic; it’s a pyramid scheme of human labor,” said @adiod.bsky.social , a researcher at the Distributed AI Research Institute based in Bremen, Germany. “These raters are the middle rung: invisible, essential and expendable.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Anyway, evergreen

actual drawing, again

Neon Navikea - typical dry cargo freighter designed to service colonies without extensive spacing infrastructure. The engine, as insane as it sounds, is a real though somewhat tenuous NASA proposal.

The Vancouver Game Garden is coming up in less than a week!! This will be the first time people can play ANOTHEREAL! To cover all my thoughts about the event, the demo, and a glimpse at overall game progress, I've written a pre-autumn update blog: blog.radicaldream.land/anothereal-p...

The kit below in motion; the village assembles!
