my problem is people's bullshit surrounding AI.
trying to oversell it as more than it could ever be, based on some bullshit sci-fi tropes and false promises of some utopia of abundance.
fuck off with ALL of that.

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

"the audience does not care, they just want content" is fine to accept as a general rule,
but once you start using that as justification to cut corners you lose all rights to trying to give other people advice about how to produce THEIR content.

sellout

[Grummz @Grummz]

This is bad advice.

This is advice that will lead vtubers to fail and be outpaced by others not afraid to use AI.

Take a moral stance if you like, and that’s fine, just don’t expect to follow this advice and still have a vtubing channel that is successful.

The audience does not care, they just want more content.

@Abouthyew @unusual_whales I actually thought I was going easy on you by NOT mentioning the dating bit

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

@Abouthyew @unusual_whales yeahhhh you're gonna need to show me where you depicted this as a more complex problem other than "women entered the workforce"

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

@Abouthyew @unusual_whales yeah man the ENTIRE problem is TOTALLY the fact that women work, and NOT the fact that every single billionaire & corporate entity you can name is actively trying to price you out of existence for their own profit.

nah, can't be that.
that would make sense

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

@Abouthyew @unusual_whales I'm so sick of right wing dipshits only ever being smart enough to look at ONE factor and blame the ENTIRE system's failings on one thing like "women working"

brother it's the SYSTEM.
capitalism is all about private ownership of resources this shit is LITERALLY BUILT TO DO THIS

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

@mobxgames @a_musingcat cite these right now because you're just making this up or you're going to cherry pick one specific small area

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

the panel was LITERALLY about using AI in their work, and you're surprised most of the people there use AI?

brother, yikes.

[Michal Staniszewski @bonzajplc]

If a game development studio claims that it uses “craft coding” or that there is no AI involved in making its games, there is a strong chance that they are lying.

I’m coming back from a gamedev event where I hosted a panel on the use of agentic AI in game development. Not a single person said that they were not using AI.

Across the entire event, we identified only around four artists who openly opposed the use of AI. They were actively looking for work.

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

it really is THIS easy to fix all of the anti AI people's concerns.
all the pro AI people have to do is actually address them honestly instead of thinking that calling them luddites will somehow help

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

Australia is planning some of the world's toughest AI regulations

• Water usage will be limited

• AI data centers will be required to become net producers of energy

• AI companies can't train on Australian creators' work without their permission

• Proposals expected to be introduced as legislation in 2027

“Australian writers, musicians, artists and journalists must retain ownership and control of their work. Our laws will spell that out, plain as day ... anything less is theft"

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

creating reference material and assets for your own production use is not "cheating"
that's literally what every single production studio has done since the dawn of time

[Lady Nymue ⚔【The Gremlin Squad】 @LadyNymueVT]

If generative AI Art ran native on people's PCs and was trained only on personal art fed into it, we wouldn't be having these conversations. It's cheating, but it's like cheating off your own test.

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

Do you HONESTLY think using AI will "fix" the currently overbearing production schedule of these artists,
OR
do you think it will simply increase the output they're expected to produce?

think about it for a bit, ESPECIALLY if you're trying to claim you care about workers

[CritiCold🔻 @ColdCriti]

The discourse around GenAI is so radioactive that even some of the most accomplished creators get their artist card revoked by the anti-AI mob for even suggesting the technology could be useful in reducing labor-time for manga which famously ruins artists' health & social lives.

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

absolutely NOTHING is happening on those extra screens why are they even there?
this sounds neat on paper, but the execution really sucks

[SCREENX @screenxusa]

Playtime needs three screens. Toy Story 5 is in theaters and #SCREENX in ONE WEEK.

Get tickets now: https://t.co/G2ugVg3LlP

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

that's because those clowns have convinced themselves the people currently paying for game pass would somehow pay full price for each game on game pass.

they're delusional.

[Hunter 🎮 @NextGenPlayer]

Jason Schreier says Xbox studio leaders absolutely hate Game Pass

“There are a lot of people out there in studio leadership within Xbox who absolutely detest game pass and think it has destroyed the value of their games, think it has taken away the value from all games in general and has been a detriment to the games industry in those people's view, because of how it devalues games”

@jetta713 @TRothell62855 @unusual_whales bless your heart

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

and how much money has it made across the few THOUSAND that already exist across the country?

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

The US is spending $50 billion on data center construction, exceeding the combined spending on airports, ports, and mass transit, per Bloomberg.

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

name ONE manga whose visual quality improved when they implemented AI

[Interesting AF @interesting_aIl]

Manga artist Inio Asano says the industry’s attitude toward AI is one reason his manga is in hiatus

He hopes the industry will one day allow the use of AI because “using AI actually drives up the quality by a mile”

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

this is happening SPECIFICALLY because trump & republicans decided to fire massive amounts of employees across various organizations that were explicitly in charge of preventing this.

NEVER let them forget it.

[Meidas_Charise Lee @charise_lee]

The government stopped monitoring this because someone / DOGE thought public health and safety was a waste of money.

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

how??
the company that owns them is responsible.
is it REALLY that hard to figure out???

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Trial lawyers are lobbying against self-driving cars, arguing they threaten auto accident litigation.

[Brody @BrodyAndBeyond]

how are people STILL eating up this nonsense?
it needs TRILLIONS of dollars EVERY YEAR?? until 2040??
JUST to BUILD the data centers too, not even the full operating costs.

what an insane waste of time, money, & energy

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son says people who think the AI boom is a bubble simply don’t understand where the technology is heading.

“To ask whether AI is a bubble is a foolish question,” adding that AI will “transform our lives completely.”

He also predicted that AI will require $5 trillion in global investment every year by 2040 to build the data centers

Son believes AI could eventually account for 20% of the world’s economy and has dismissed concerns that the industry’s rapid growth is another tech bubble.
