This is actually dangerous stuff, because it happens to news and policies: people have been so trained out of critical thinking that they now wait to be told what to like and what to be angry about. Sigh

He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

Аз: Хайде платете ми и аз ще го преведа.
Издател: Не, не, ние ще намерим кой да ни го преведе за без пари, само името ти искаме да използваме.
Аз: 20 години съм гладувал да изградя това име и сега ще разнасям брошури на Лидъл, за да си платя сметките….
Издател: Кво толкова, само името ни трябва

Yeah, I think there is an unfortunate conversation to be had about how art as content, readers as consumers and algorithm/attention economy really flattens everything into needing to churn out as much as possible as fast as possible, which is so anti-art fundamentally

Love to see LSOO shared here. Check out his videos, he's really thoughtful and insightful about film and philosophy
This video puts to words some of the feelings I've had about modern movies/cgi/digital film but haven't been able to enunciate, but moreover nails a problem in modern art making: the lack of real, tactile experiences reflected in the work youtu.be/tvwPKBXEOKE?...

In 1988 the Jordanians ceded its claims on East Jerusalem and the West Bank with the expectation that the Palestinians would soon receive their state.

Language matters @politico.eu. They are not US "demands", it is "blackmail". The @ec.europa.eu has no mandate to negotiate away EU legislation, nor the right to soften enforcement. The Commission has to protect European citizens, not US broligarchs.
The EU’s push for the U.S. to scrap its tariffs on steel and aluminum has opened the door to an old demand from Washington: Loosen your digital rulebook, and we’ll meet you halfway.
US demands digital concessions in return for EU steel tariff relief
Washington argues U.S. companies would invest more in the EU if it rolls back its digital rulebook.

Yes. At least that's a strong motivating factor. Pick up artists were very similar in that a lot of the advice is, purposefully, garbage so people would have to pay you more money. Also similar to that, the rich lifestyle of manosphere garbage is all borrowed and rented, from women to cars.

and yet people still have trouble understanding why "self regulation" does not work
excerpt: Meta allegedly chose not to “sound the alarm,” but instead stopped the research, the lawsuit said. “The company never publicly disclosed the results of its deactivation study,” according to the suit. “Instead, Meta lied to Congress about what it knew.”

AI Killed My Job: Translators
Few industries have been hit by AI as hard as translation. Rates are plummeting. Work is drying up. Translators are considering abandoning the field, or bankruptcy. These are their stories.

Why this prediction? Because translators and copywriters* are already being offered lower rates to 'copy edit' superficially plausible AI slop instead of being paid decently to do the job properly.
*Freelance advertising, trade press, instruction manual etc work is how many authors pay the bills.

I wish more reporting on this made the point that novelists won't be displaced by LLMs suddenly producing literature instead of story mulch, but because decision makers focused only on the bottom line, who don't understand what makes a good book, will be persuaded story mulch has got 'good enough'.
New research by @mctd.bsky.social shows the impact of generative AI on authors in the UK. They found over a third of novelists report their income has already been negatively impacted by AI and 85% expect their future income will be negatively impacted.
