thank you, marjane satrapi!

As per the press release, she 'died of sadness' from her husband's death. I thought that's a euphemism for suicide but turns out it is a real medical thing. Grief so strong that it weakens the heart muscles, and you literally die from a broken heart.

It is just infinitely sad and I cannot imagine the pain she must have gone through. But I cannot help but see a glimmer of beauty in such a passing. Love can persevere so strong that it stays with you until you die. May she rest in peace. May she be united with her husband.

This is exactly why I keep saying that harassment isn’t activism.

Someone will take that opportunity. The technology isn’t going away. The studios aren’t going away. The investment isn’t going away.

The only thing that happened here is that a creator got pushed out of a project he was excited about.

What’s even stranger is seeing people celebrate it as a victory. If your goal is supporting artists, cheering when someone is bullied into walking away from creative work which would never have been greenlit if not for the technology angle feels like a very odd definition of support.

You can disagree with AI. You can criticize it. You can refuse to use it.

But creators being threatened until they abandon projects doesn’t move the conversation forward for anyone. It just makes fewer people willing to participate in it publicly.

Reality check: An extraordinarily small percentage of artists will ever work on a handmade animated film from a major studio. You have a better chance of making it to the NFL. If you do work on one, it’s work-for-hire, which means you don’t own the IP. You get paid, and when the project is over, you’re laid off. If you’re lucky and the film does well, you get to work on the next one. There are only a handful of jobs available on these projects, so opportunities for new artists are rare.

Guillermo will get paid for his films until he dies. Most of the crew will get paid once and then hope they can find another job. My son started a stop-motion channel when he was 12. At 21, he gets paid every month from his library of 552 videos. He owns everything and has hard-earned skills.

Guillermo isn’t an animator, model builder, storyboard artist, or character designer. Disney couldn’t draw better than his worst artist. And that’s okay. They are master storytellers who use skills they don’t personally possess to realize their visions.

Here are your options if you have stories to tell through animation: start making films on your own. I don’t care what medium you use, including AI. Build a fan base that can support your work.

If you’re among the tiny fraction of artists who get a chance to work at a major studio, go in knowing that you’ll get paid and own nothing. Don’t act shocked when you’re laid off. Plan on adapting, and use your time at the studio as social capital. I still get a lot of mileage out of having worked on Space Jam.

Use AI as a force multiplier. Prove Guillermo wrong. Show that you can tell great stories using skills you don’t personally have, just like Disney and Guillermo. You now have the power of an entire studio on your computer, and everyone is underestimating you. Show them you’re making stories by humans, for humans.

You can die with the ideas in your head, or you can use AI to help bring them to life.

Whatever you choose to do, ignore the internet mob. They can’t tell stories better than you. They can’t draw. They can’t create characters. They’re not there on principle. It’s a social contagion. They all repeat the same chants and slogans they’ve been programmed to regurgitate. They won’t be there to pay your bills.

And if a big-shot director looks down on you, tell him his opinion might matter when he starts sharing the life-time profits from his movies with the crews who supplied the skills he didn’t have.

Your mother is problematic. Your father is problematic. Your son is problematic. Your aunt is problematic. The cashier at the local Tesco is problematic. You've probably bought a cookie from a bakery made by hands that have done unspeakable things. Every chocolate bar you've ever eaten has probably killed a 7 year old child slave in Cameroon. The gas that drives your car is fueled by engines of death. Every person who has ever smiled at you in the streets has committed some act that if you knew about it, would make you profoundly dislike them.

We have all been bad, small, petty, unlikeable, cruel, downright mean. Authors are not special "problematic" beings, they're just more public. Part of being an adult is recognizing that without mercy for our fellow human beings, and ourselves, we'd all be condemned to death. Reading fiction should help us understand that we're all irreparably tainted with evil, every system is corrupted, every line is broken.

And like, that's okay. That's what it means to be alive.

À toutes les lesbiennes qui ont pris soin des hommes gays au début de l’épidémie de VIH-SIDA dans les années 80, alors que l’État, les médecins, familles les laissaient crever

Don't waste your time with terrible AI fruit videos when you can watch Mickey Rooney lead an orchestra of fruits, featuring practical effects by the great George Pal.
