@riotgames@Play2XKO This is some utter bullshit. I’ve been a riot games fan for around 14 years now and the past few years have been full of some of the most braindead and frustrating decisions I’ve seen in gaming. I’m speechless but not surprised.
Fahrenheit 451 was never my favorite Bradbury/dystopian fiction because it felt a little too blunt, too far-fetched in its metaphor— the state deploying high-tech 'firemen' to burn books to maintain its censorship regime? A bit on the nose.
Currently reevaluating that assessment
This guy looks pretty beat up...BUT, HOORAY! and THANK YOU to everyone who enjoyed Better Call Saul, and for this Nom. We all cared SO MUCH everyday we made this show. It starts with the WRITING and I'm so thankful Peter Gould and Gordon Smith are nominated. RHEA being nominated makes my day, my year. The show being noticed, well, a dream come true. Grateful.
Hey there! In case you forgot, we sit on the same committee, which debated for the first time this week.
I don’t blame you if you forgot. You spent almost no time there. In the few minutes you did show up, you claimed one elementary school got *$5 billion dollars* to teach CRT🤣
So regarding AI: please remember that the work submitted to AI to teach it to mimic our styles was very often submitted without the consent of the artist. Had I been asked, I wouldn't have allowed developers to take or use my work for that purpose.
The "shut off your brain" argument is weird because brains are what we use to engage with, experience, and appreciate films. All of my favorite films would be infinitely worse if I "shut off my brain". Such a strange thing to say in place of "don't criticize things I like".
When you get right down to it, this perfectly illustrates the conservative mindset towards engaging with history. They do not want anything that makes America (white people) look like the villains. Hence the anti-CRT backlash.
