My thoughts on the gen ai normalization I've been seeing recently:
I'm seeing this from different people: "We must experiment with these tools to understand them and our place in the industry in the future." I hear coming from the Trojan horse. They weren't built with the idea of keeping artists on these projects, they were built as replacements and to save on the "bottom line". Gen ai and llms are used currently as replacements, and they're just going to get better. No experimenting needed dudes, they are designed so that a 2 year old can use them, if you know how to photobash youll be able to learn this workflow in 30 minutes if you so desperately needed to. Refusing to use them is standing in solidarity with the thousands affected and more so stolen from. Using them is crossing an active picket line and breathing life into a future where you no longer create art for media, you assist ai until the corporate machine no longer needs you to assist it. This issue is so much larger than the arts. We were just the canaries in the coal mine. We have the ability to stand firm on this and create the industry and world we wish to live in, not one we are forced to by people with interests directly harming our existence. I owe too much of my own life to art and what it has brought me in my darkest times than to capitulate.

You can tell it's 7pm when you posted this because you were at a polite enough stage of the evening that you'd label something so gently mild as "adult"

If learning something was the same as seeing something, visiting a library would make me the equivalent of a PhD without having to so much as read a single book

We've had public information access for a lot longer than AI, the internet is full of free information

Adding errors doesn't improve it

MP3s were the best way of going about things and I'm willing to stand by that for the rest of my life

I really enjoyed exploring Tokyo by e-scooter - so many nice back roads to navigate through

Got my Brazilian Jiujitsu black belt this Saturday after a mere 16 years of training

A long and challenging road across 4 towns, 6 gyms, a handful of competitions, a few minor injuries, a few not-so-minor injuries, wins, losses, ups and downs, and now here we are at the belt I'll have the longest.
Two folks stand in Brazilian Jiujitsu gis, one blue, one white, both wearing black belts - the person in the white gi has also got a brown belt around his neck, implying he had just received the black belt (which he had!)

Extremely. It is a great MOVIE by every metric, not just a fun genre piece

I always got grumpy at people who said "oh they're all the same" because fundamentally they WEREN'T

But, where it matters, we're slowly being proven wrong.

Eventually we will have some renationalised rail.... And everything else will be conservative party policy with a Labour stamp.
