if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”
For writers worried that they won't be able to "prove" their work isn't Spicy Autocomplete--worry not. You thought about every choice and will be able to talk about those choices easily and clearly. Folks who used the slop machine didn't make choices and won't have anything to say about why
If you have a comedy show coming up, please feel free to use this image I made instead of AI
I’ve been seeing too many people using AI generated images to promote comedy shows and I just think that’s wack and it shouldn’t be happening!!! There’s not an acceptable excuse for it and also it looks bad! Makes it seem like the general quality of the show will be bad too!!
Just saw a news article disparaging "pervert glasses" and was briefly confused before I realized it meant the Meta AI glasses and not the round swirly anime ones

part of why I don't like AI is bc it's so often the antithesis of caring for the little things, the appreciation of the mundane, of seeing beauty where others haven't yet been able to, and seeking genuine fundamental understanding all in the name of "get product faster" I find it so disheartening
It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.
this year i think people are finally going to realise what a major cultural schism the uk north-south divide is. for example, in the south people call late game elemental magic things like "firaga" but up here we just say "fire 3".

Ideologically, generative AI is a 19th century technology: the flawed dream that once you have assembled a supposedly total archive of culture via technical media, you can use it to statistically derive new meaning from patterns of the past
It's been seven years since my best friend passed away and I still really miss him. To feel better, I drew his character from his old rpg maker game from when we first met as teens, and Snowe bc SSP wouldn't have happened without his help. I'd like to think he'd have liked my books.
Someone in DC set up a “little free blockbuster” with DVDs inside instead of books lol
Crossposting in case people missed it but I posted a July devlog for A Cottage Story!! Finally getting back into the swing of things ladymeowsith.itch.io/a-cottage-st...

"why does the UK change leaders so often?" there are diminishing returns wrt how long each vessel can house thatcher's spirit. by the end of the century we'll be getting through 1000 prime ministers a day

Trnka is just mandatory viewing if you love stop motion. There are things across this and Old Czech Legends that I had never seen before, things I didn’t know you could DO with the art form, and he was doing them all nearly a century ago.

in art circles in jp / chn, artists get referred to as “sensei” / “laoshi”, but we don’t have that in english and we should. but i also don’t really like the way “teacher” sounds in english, so i think we should start addressing all artists as “boss”, like we’re all goons (the normal definiton)

iron rule of British politics is even if a guy who dresses as a bin becomes prime minister he will have been to Oxbridge
An Oxford classics graduate has won cross-party endorsements in the upcoming Clacton by-election. Count Binface, who studied at Corpus Christi, was described as “maybe the people[’s candidate]” by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, while defence secretary Dan Jarvis said “good luck to him”.
