"Big Anime" doesn't want you to know it, but 99% percent of attempts to "Akira Slide" end in crashes and lawsuits. Wake up people #animation Complete Video: youtu.be/yTEHR0ygBU8
And here is the full video from said animator, check it out and support it. Fun fact, just days after he published it, SORA was shut down by Open Ai and his harasser lost everything, some sweet karma: youtu.be/PNs3chvtEqo

Jorge, an animator was harassed for MONTHS by an OpenAI stan taking his wips and jamming them into SORA to "Fix" them. Because he dared to note GenAI companies have ruined the market for everything PC related. That's the type of people they are, its THAT black and white, #animation
Jorge R. Gutiérrez reflects on the backlash on his AI project in a new interview with Variety: “What I quickly learned is this is a black-and-white issue. You’re either pro or anti—there’s no in between. My intentions were good, but I was taking my family to hell by doing this.”
Vibe I'm getting from the Amano panel is intensely anti-AI. Direct quote from the panel: "Humans won't lose to digital 'creativity'"
Monty Oum's work was the reason I wanted to be an animator, as you can imagine the rwby V10 was nice, and this just a few months after an AI shill who was harassing me lost everything when Sora shut down. And I got to put out my #animation unmolested. Nice to have a few wins youtu.be/PNs3chvtEqo

@evangreer.bsky.social Hey Evan, you have obviously been very vocal about KOSA in the past, is this as bad as it looks or what? Like it seems pretty clearly like its gonna pass and ruin everything: bsky.app/profile/dies...
Reminder that there will be motion on KOSA and the KIDS ACT on monday Please contact your representatives literally right now of you can and demand censorship/surveillance legislation be opposed
Auliʻi Cravalho will be wonderful, and for anyone interested in getting a taste of Jessica Cruz before her show debuts. Reminder her best onscreen depiction at this time is unironically in the first Justice League x #Rwby movie. Jeannie Tirado crushed it.
First look at Jessica Cruz from ‘My Adventures with Superman’ Season 3. She will be voiced by Auliʻi Cravalho (‘Moana’) and will have her own spinoff series (‘My Adventures with Green Lantern’).
Bound By A Cycle, an animated action short notably made by somebody who was harassed during the making of by a SORA shill till Sora was shut down, something Gutierrez himself mocked just a few months ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNs3...

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
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
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/
"fiction normalizes—" idk abt any of that but I think social media has normalized absolutely batshit behavior and social conventions that are inconceivable to anyone that is actually well-balanced and thriving in the real world and that's a bigger problem than fiction will ever be
Buy in to the unregulated ponzi scheme now before everyone realizes that they aren't getting returns on it and it explodes, destroying the entire economy
In the US, spending on data center construction now exceeds spending on public transportation infrastructure — including airports, marine terminals, and all mass transit. In April alone over $50 billion was spent in data center construction.
Late addition, but I also wanted to highlight @djaxx.bsky.social's "The Worlds Divide" an entire 2 hour movie he created single handily without any GenAI. I have seen it and can't wait till the general public can to, its something REALLY special and I can't wait for more to see it #animation
Gutierrez already walking back his apology is a shit feeling for me because his previous public stance was a huge motivator for me finishing this even while being harassed by a Genai shill stealing my WIPS. But the responses from others in the #animation industry have been heartening. Thanks

Right, sure anyway, if your intrested in some Indie animation that have come out recently that arent, whatever this is here is a small thread, and like it says, there is so much more out there: bsky.app/profile/anim...
Jorge R. Gutierrez says animating with AI was like “having sex and then they hand you the baby” during his appearance at the AI on the Lot convention. He currently has a project named ‘Punky Duck’ through Amazon MGM’s GenAI Creators’ Fund.
Jorge Gutierrez, creator of El Tigre and The Book of Life, who has also repeatedly mocked GENAi output allowing himself to be involved in this is immensely disappointing. So here is so neat non AI Indie animations that came out recently. #animation Thread/
Three AI animated series are heading to Prime Video streaming via Amazon MGM/AWS-backed GenAI Creators' Fund: 'Cupcake & Friends;' 'Love, Diana Music Hunters;' and 'Punky Duck' from Jorge Gutierrez.
