I don’t think I’ve ever fuckin seen any company actually produce MORE or ORIGINAL content after a merger ever. What they’re really saying is “you’ll get nothing and like it!”

Had a small indie freelance gig recently and found out after I turned in my work that the next phase was partnering with a studio that was using AI. My bosses didn’t understand how it works, so I educated them on the harms it can have. They were shocked and are now telling the studio not to use AI.

“The Last Wish” also had a rough start at $8.9mill globally and $18.5mill domestic and eventually by the end of the run it made $484mill globally and $186mill domestic. (Cost 90-110mill to make). Give it a bit of time and keep getting people to go!!! 🙏🏼

‘Forgotten Island’ has surpassed $20.6M in the global box office against a budget of $80M. It is unfortunately so far one of the worst performing DreamWorks films despite its critical acclaim.

Wanted to make could get the okay to say anything, but I actually worked on this short as a background painter. SL was my one and only job in animation (I've been unlucky since 😭). It's a shame that this never released cuz it's one of the proudest projects I ever worked on. Maybe someday...

‘Spirit Link’ creator André LaMilza reveals the short was left out of Cartoon Network’s ‘Cartoon Cartoons’ program. LaMilza says he spent 6 years trying to find out why, but was repeatedly ghosted and later learned the short was never planned to air alongside the others.

Man, that meka redesign is not it fam. Lost its theme and it’s clearly designed in a way to showcase the character to sell skins and not the mech… it’s like half the mech is gone???

Man, I drew a ton of new art last two weeks for the release and now that it's not it just sits in my folder. I was really happy with a lot of them. It feels like I just waisted a lot of my free time for nothing lol.

I saw an old tweet I made about how there aren't enough animation timers in the industry, back in like 2019. It was a nice thread and people learning more about the craft. Cut to 2026 and there are no jobs period lol.

Does anyone have a comprehensively simple breakdown of how AI data centers harm the environment that I could forward to someone who doesn't understand? (Graphic, website, etc)
