Breaking news: the "AI first" company is relying on the hard work of real human artists at Titmouse to give them high quality animation instead of using Generative AI because "AI first" is a meaningless slogan designed solely to get likes on LinkedIn.

Duolingo mascot Duo stars in a new anime-inspired YouTube series, 'The Final Test,' produced with Titmouse. The five-part short series debuts on October 13 on YouTube, designed to promote Duolingo’s updated Japanese courses.

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 1d

Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists.

A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back.

Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.

Artists do NOT accept payment. Always send an invoice.

Gilbert #NewDeal4Animation @discord12395.bsky.social · 8d

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal]

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

Aliette de Bodard @aliettedebodard.com · 4d

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!

making a salary of practically a million dollars from theft of creative's labor is beyond depraved. And to ask for 10+ years of experience? what an insult??

Anyone applying for roles like that should be treated as scabs

Alexa Doodles @alexadoodles.bsky.social · 8d

It's wild to think back to the pre-2020 optimism for streaming and how much Netflix was investing into creating original animation at the time. Didn't take long for them to completely abandon that..
