Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Reminder that Disney has leaned so hard into outright censorship that they've not only scrubbed plotlines from several projects, they've erased whole characters from their shows and deleted entire finished episodes just to ensure queer characters are never seen.

I'm no longer shocked when the truths come out but my heart still breaks every time. Queer youth are attacked at every turn and they can’t even have the respite of feeling seen by a movie, all so regressive bigots don’t have to feel discomfort for two hours. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

You know ai is the future because every time a popular creator gets caught using it they have to make big dramatic statements and beg their viewers for forgiveness

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself. One day, the meaning of labels will disappear. Please love yourself as you are. The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself. Because that is your strength and beauty. Chiitan loves you

Lastly here's some super rough boards I included in the pitch. I wanna clean these up eventually dfkjskf. Hopefully tho its a fun little way to show how the magic works in the show and the dynamic with her and her familiars! We have a whole 11 min animatic but that would be crazy to share haha

Bluebell is a highly curious, energetic, and passionate girl who can also be impatient, clumsy, and bratty. Her greatest strength is creativity, but she has bouts of chronic overconfidence. She tends to drag her friends and familiars into crazy ingredient seeking adventures!

Anyway, here's stuff from my pitch, 'Potions by Bluebell'! Since the Nick dev team did really like it and say it has a lot special to it that resonates...I want to try to do something with it despite it being passed on. Maybe I can pitch elsewhere? If I had funds I'd want to kickstart a pilot.

Woof, too real

"The vast majority of people who work in film and television are not studio executives, nor are they famous actors. They are, overwhelmingly, blue-collar workers, freelancers, and small businesses. And they are in free fall." newrepublic.com/article/2136...

You don’t want hands free driving, you want trains. You want trains you want trains you want TRAINS

Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.
