I wanted to share all the rough animation we did for the Gameoverse pilot! I think this is all of it, anyway? It was a bunch. We were the Flappers guys, as you can maybe guess lol. It was so fun to get to work with @RubberNinja and the whole @glitch_prod team!

@mjarbo @Radrappy “This is the game now” gen AI is like 2 years old it doesn’t have to be the game if we don’t want it to be. You’re trying to sound knowledgeable about the industry *to an industry professional* and it’s not working.

[Emmy Cicierega @EmmyCic]

@PressFreedoms “Nobody likes feet” “*I* jack off to feet!” some things u just gotta be alone with

[Emmy Cicierega @EmmyCic]

Art isn’t utilitarian like shoes or food. How we FEEL about it *is the entire point*. This is a business of likability and nobody likes AI.

I want things to get better not worse

[Emmy Cicierega @EmmyCic]

@liliuhms Moneymoneymoney is anyone sick of money yet??? Who needs SO MUCH MONEY that you willingly stomp on real people to get ahead 🥲🥲🥲 the point of life itself is how we treat others. Isn’t it???

[Emmy Cicierega @EmmyCic]

So GROSSSSSS

[iDuckFilms @iDuckFilms]

Wow, @buzzfeed, literally stating they can do anything they want with Loryn Brantz's characters without her permission because they own her characters and that they do not care about her concerns or the concerns of artists. No self-respecting artist will want to work with you.

[Emmy Cicierega @EmmyCic]

@JoacoTheFeline @Radrappy You can do whatever you want but you can’t force anyone to like it.

[Emmy Cicierega @EmmyCic]

@Egretious @Radrappy Just know that most of us in the industry are rooting for you and want things to get better for the next wave of talent ❤️

[Emmy Cicierega @EmmyCic]

@Radrappy I wanted this industry to get better, not worse. Less exploitative, not more. Dude will never explain himself because there is 0 way to explain this without looking slimy

[Birdcomixstudios @TheDylanRoca]

When old heads hop on the AI bandwagon, it comes off to me sorta like "You'll never have the privilege to have the career we did, so why bother," packaged in a marketable statement of "We're excited to see what underrepresented stories we can tell using this new technology"...

[Emmy Cicierega @EmmyCic]

@beetlemoses Too real

[Emmy Cicierega @EmmyCic]

@Radrappy Also a “punk rock” duck made with AI lmfaooo incredible

[Emmy Cicierega @EmmyCic]

@Radrappy I’m so fucking sad for newcomers to this industry. How is anyone supposed to get a foot in the door in this mess

[Emmy Cicierega @EmmyCic]

@Delachica_ @runwayml You want human attention paid to inhuman material. If you can’t be bothered to make it, I can’t be bothered to watch.
