My headcanon is that the whole reason generative AI has become so annoying is because a bunch of salty tech bros were mad that the metaverse & nfts got rejected & so they decided to devalue art, destroy the internet & force digital surveillance to prove a point.
It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.
Hello everyone! Thank you for the 2,300+ followers! Here's a little preview of a short animation I'm working on. Also, it's my birhtday today! Turning 22 now 😭

FUCK AI AND SUPPORT REAL ARTISTS
We are so cooked. Everyday AI content is eating up more and more market share of our eyes and ears, and it’s now basically indistinguishable from reality. If regulation is not placed SOON around copyright, we are going to loose unfathomable amounts of human creativity.
Most developing artists rely on a small project-based work to get their foot in the door in an already gate-kept industry. Being a “starving artist” is looking like it may become less and less attainable without being forced to become “proficient in ai tools”.
The pursuit of artistic excellence must be protected at all costs. It is built on hundreds of years of blood, sweat, and tears from uncredited and unpaid artists.
being unapologetically cringe & insane has done me nothing but good. I now have a job about my hyperfixation. Because I emailed the head of entomology at my uni and went "hello I like beetles can we discuss that" and he went "sure!".. never lose your spark
