the Academy just officially declared war on AI

> the Oscars just announced a total ban on generative AI for all future awards
> Avengers: Doomsday and Michael instantly lost their eligibility
> screenplays must now be 100% human authored to even qualify for a nomination
> all acting roles must be demonstrably performed by real humans with their explicit consent
> big Hollywood studios tried to replace real writers and actors w/ algorithms to save money

they spend 100s of millions on algorithms to avoid paying real artists

the Oscars just told them to go make a real movie

We’re told there’s not enough money for health care, affordable housing or education.

But somehow there are billions for an illegal & unconstitutional war with Iran.

We need a government that works for all of us — not the military-industrial complex, not Israel, not super PACs.

What the fuck does Netanyahu have on this dude

[Tom Santos @tommysantos14]

They couldn’t afford American’s healthcare but they can spend 1 billion per day on a war nobody asked for and nobody wants.

[Mr. Chau @Srirachachau]

These ghouls don’t believe in anything at all. It maybe feels cathartic to point at the hypocrisy but what’s the point when there’s really no foundation of principle in the first place? Truly rancid, evil people we’ve allowed to rise and rule over us

[Eric Bourdages @EZE3D]

Can we stop with all this bs propaganda pretending like there wasn't a world of kids making flash animations, game mods, indies, writing short stories & fan fics, making home movies, sketching in their notepad in the classroom. AI has never been needed for creativity.

"that is always the prelude to fascism... well if it's that easy, and if it's that unimportant, why the fuck do they want it so bad? and the answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human."

[Columned @Columned_]

I fucking hate when these CEOs that have no personality or emotional attachment to any human art speak on stuff like this. The most corporate bullshit sentences that guise the fact their share price went up a quarter of a point and its the only semblance of happiness they get now

It seems like we’re living through a uniquely dystopic moment where all that once was good is being uprooted and destroyed for no good reason beyond a tiny tiny minority expanding their wealth.

A federal judge has ordered the release of hundreds of people arrested in Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in Illinois.

I’m so glad AI didn’t exist when George Lucas was doing his Star Wars revisions.

[Variety @Variety]

Guillermo del Toro says he'd "rather die" than use artificial intelligence, "particularly generative AI," in any of his future films:

"AI, particularly generative AI — I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I’m 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. … The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I’d rather die.'"

accepted the ceasefire, stopped bombing Gaza, waited for the rest of the Palestinians to return to Gaza to maximize their kill count, started bombing Gaza again... there are no words for how evil this country is

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Jeff Bezos, worth $240 billion, sailed on his $500 million yacht to a $55 million wedding in Venice to give his wife a $5 million ring & spends $12.7 million on union busting so he can replace workers with robots.

His tax rate: 1.1%.

5 words: Tax billionaires out of existence.

🚨BREAKING: Atlanta has erupted.

Massive crowds are marching in the heart of Georgia for the #NoKings protest and Trump is definitely watching.

This is the deep South, and they’re rising up against him.

Peaceful. Loud. Unignorable.
And it’s only getting bigger.

He’s gotta be raging.
