[Art Directors Guild @ADG800]

The Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800 #adg800 has issued a statement on Martin Scorsese’s recent promotion of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI):

"Mr. Scorsese, The Business is not in flux.

Oscar winning director Martin Scorsese is turning his back on the human artists who throughout his career have helped him create his most memorable works.

In the recently released Black Forest Labs video promoting their generative AI product FLUX, Mr. Scorsese asks the question, “how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew?” He claims the solution is the use of this generative AI program to do the jobs that are rightfully the jurisdiction of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers - human artists and designers who have been successfully collaborating with directors to visualize their films for decades. Mr. Scorsese's promotion of a generative AI product circumvents the input of Art Directors Guild Local 800 art directors, graphic artists, illustrators, production designers, scenic artists, set designers, and other talented Union professionals.

Generative AI is only capable of producing this type of “cinematic intelligence” by ingesting large swaths of copyrighted work, likely scraped from the internet without consent, credit, compensation, or transparency.

The skills of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers bring the highest level of value to any film or television production. To think their professional contributions can be mimicked or outshone by generative AI, which is built on work likely stolen from them and many other artists from around the world, is a betrayal of the collaborative nature of cinema."

They are everywhere, just think in the concept.

found a tumblr blog (been my fav since) that shares photos of clutters whether it's a messy room, someone’s unfinished art project, or a pile of clothes strewn across the roof of a car idk i think there’s something beautiful that comes out of disorder. it’s a proof that we tried

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 New York has officially banned the construction of new data centers for 1 year.

After that, data centers will pay higher electricity rates than residents.

@TheCartoonBase This is a joke guys, cartoonists don’t have Zazlov money. But I do wish SOMEONE who actually loved animation and didn’t just want to scrap these beloved iconic brands for tax write offs would protect them from these horrifying mergers

[sam🌪️ hit the wall @star1ightstan13]

genuine question, why does a train line or a new park have to go thru years of votes and environmental impact studies but something like this can just? happen?

[deli @silentxwaltz]

a data center right next to a zoo that does conservation work is so evil. it's like they want everything to go extinct

[jeffy @retrojeff3]

fuck data centers. all my homies hate data centers

So stop it maybe? Who are you warning? I can't do anything, YOU are the UN.

[CBS Mornings @CBSMornings]

Kane Parsons, the 20-year-old director of the box office-topping film “Backrooms,” is “absolutely not” going to embrace AI, explaining that he doesn’t “see the value in, like, outsourcing” the making of art.
