It’s so laughably naive for anyone to say genAI can be used “ethically“. The cat is already out of the bag, the models are already trained on stolen work. Even if you could build viable models on only rights-free work there would still be the issue of energy use, inaccurate output, etc. Be for real.

Man, when ya build enough of a story world, got the characters history and motivations, and spat out some scene snippets playing in your head… suddenly, BAM, #scriptwriting and characters start having things to say. #KidnappedIntoTheQueenDowagersHarem !
Rumors about “rigged elections" are now a fixture of U.S. elections, leading to diminished trust in election results & democracy (broadly). These rumors can sometimes be hard to debunk, esp. in their early stages. Our UW team has identified the 6 common ways that election integrity rumors mislead:
ROSE CITY COMIC CON was delightful AGAIN! Got art, got a leather chicken egg, a jimothy pin AND MET GAIL SIMONE!!
American singer and songwriter Woody Guthrie, who wrote “This Land is Your Land.” The words on his guitar are testament to why the Nazis stifled art—and why Donald Trump tries to silence comics. The arts are not just entertainment when they challenge those in power.
My hot take is that the government should not be allowed to buy data that would otherwise require a warrant to access.
HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here
Vatican theological commission defines ‘sin against creation and the Creator’ in new document

TV writers, please use this thread to introduce yourself. Tell people what level you are. What you write. And if there is a dream staff you’d like to work on right now. I don’t have a huge following on here but who knows? Maybe the right person will see this and give you the boost you need.
Actor buds! Resume? If you book outside word of mouth, how do you format the film and tv credits? For role, character name or level of role or both? Different between platforms (skybolt versus actors access)? I saw a CD say only the role size tells them if you’re “ready” to be seen by them.
Had the most delightfully surreal time on set this last weekend. I had committed to a production through Backstage, didn’t know the director, the crew or the other actors before this booking.. 1/?
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
