@acedwards819@Jaco4126@mexopolis Did he ever talk about those specific issues though? Iโm trying to genuinely figure out why he would backpedal a deal he already has and would be paid for. It canโt simply be the everyday Twitter mob
@jasonzada@minhsmind@mexopolis Ngl, Iโm not sure how that could convince someone to throwaway a project that is already greenlit and theyโre guaranteed to make money off of if they just plug their ears.
@CourtOfLoreHQ@GregWoronchak@mexopolis It sure cost a lot to make the AI. Sounds like it costs a pretty hefty amount to maintain and upgrade the AI.
Of course people know corporations donโt care about the effect on the environment. Weโre trying to show them something else to care about: Societyโs frustration.
@priestessofdada@mexopolis Your 3rd paragraph is just pulling completely unrelated negative terms out of a hat. Or overgeneralizing cancel culture I guess.
@DrFishbones@easys_arq@mexopolis The cost is actually pretty big for AI too though. Itโs only cheaper in the sense of you already have it, and even then, it sounds like maintaining it isโฆresource-heavy.

My experience with Luminara.
I was the first talent to leave Luminara.
Iโm glad I can finally say publicly that Luminara was the core reason I wanted to graduate & go on hiatus back in October 2025.
I was villainized. I was isolated. The work I put into NuCloud was taken credit for by Camana.
I could go on and on about my experience with Luminara, but I want to make one thing clear: I am not blaming the staff or the talents. They were victims too.

When I heard Cam and some people in Luminara wanted to attend Anime NYC but couldnโt afford badges, I wanted to be a good fellow professional in the space. I had two extra exhibitor badges because I had a booth, so I offered them for free.
Cam then started passing around the exhibitor badge I gave him to people without my permission, including people I did not know.
Cam and his โsquadโ would come to my booth and act like they owned the space. He even took a business meeting there, interfering with the interactions I was trying to have at the booth I paid for.

He also kept asking my rep how much the booth cost and how to get one, digging for information while disrespecting the space I paid for and abusing the badges I had generously offered.

Luminara wanted me to essentially organize a large-scale IRL event within three months, which is already extremely difficult. They claimed they would help, but in reality, they did not.
To be clear, there were a few honest staff members who assisted, and I appreciate them. But instead of Cam taking the lead, I had to direct people every step of the way. Any time I was not involved in the conversations, things would fall apart and nothing would get done.
And let it be known: ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐บ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐.
Luminara did not contribute financially to the event.
While I was organizing the NuCloud concert, rumors were being spread internally about me and other staff. I was being villainized with claims like, โKลri thinks this is her show and doesnโt want to give anyone else credit.โ
๐ง๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฒ.
Cam was the main person responsible for posting on the Luminara account, and I even reminded him to credit everyone who worked on the concert, no matter how big or small their contribution was.
But the trash talking continued, and eventually I started to feel like I was the problem.
I try really hard to word things in a way that wonโt hurt people, because I truly never had evil intent. But everything I heard made it clear that people were being encouraged to view me like a villain.

And honestly? It kind of was my show.
That is not an exaggeration. I was doing about 95% of the work while Luminara had โevent production agencyโ in their bio.
Only one person from Luminara attended the NuCloud concert in person. I did not receive any real-life help from Luminara. The staff at NuCloud were volunteers thanks to the USS Hornet, and I trained and onboarded them myself.
Some of the talents also seemed to dislike me because Cam was spreading rumors and lies about me.
I went out of my way to include some of the talents in the NuCloud concert. I even had artwork done for them, and some still refused to post the postcards I made or even repost the concert.
๐๐ณ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ก๐๐๐น๐ผ๐๐ฑ, ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐.
They supported other talents, but would not even repost my important projects. I had organized an entire concert on their behalf, released original music, and then Luminara did their first cover song without even asking if I would be interested in joining.

I am glad Luminara is no longer creating false promises.
This is why I left. This is why I continued pursuing independent concert hosting. ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ-๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐น๐ฎ๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐.
Iโm heartbroken for the talents who were led on with false promises, but Iโm genuinely happy they now get to continue their journeys without being tied to false hope. Iโm cheering yโall on. ๐
@stevex613241@cover_corp@Tenchi_Mayo Iโm pretty sure these are two different groups. You shouldnโt throw everyone into the same boat. Like, the two groups think each other are monsters too
@c0ntradict0r@Demonologist_VG@BLopezVGA@YuiTachibanaVT@Vtuber_Moe Funny thing, that is not saying to not become an idol. It says not to make one, like to worship. I wouldn't doubt there's something somewhere else that says what you want, but I'm pretty sure this isn't it. They don't worship themselves.
@litteralyme0@cyberdruga Iโm worried itโll just be ChatGPT, and everything else will remainโฆ Also, looking at the comments, sounds like Sora might be a very insignificant loss really.
