Animators, i want to remind you that like 10 or 15 years ago there was a wage-fixing conspiracy involving 3 major studios, and they were found guilty in court and had to pay affected employees, but our rates never recovered.
We have to make them pay all of us more than the minimum, when it pops.

I contracted as a paid media strategist at agencies for many years, basically auditing efficiencies for PPC clients. Throughout 24-25, they axed me because various AI tools made my job “unnecessary”. Seeing this contextualizes the “how’ve you been” text I got from a former colleague last week lol

"I then came across the most helpful piece of the puzzle from a veteran cameraman, in a forum post I can no longer find" is the kind of sentence that hooks my attention. the lost, forgotten lore of a bygone age.
This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.
Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Being hated & blocked by people who worship & simp over AI is actually something I really love.
I feel like saying PLEASE, BLOCK ME. Despise me for appreciating & supporting REAL human artists. REAL human creative intellect. HATE ME for wanting the thieves that feed AI to rot behind bars.

If I had to bet on the main thing that has radicalized people against "ai," and I am talking about the way that branding is CURRENTLY BEING USED, not whatever specialized ML utility you may have found for it, it would be in apps and tech they already use being made worse and/or inoperable by it

I work in procurement and our vendors have been rolling out AI systems and... it has been a disaster. The AI gets everything wrong and I have to navigate a labyrinthian telephone menu to get to a human to fix it.
This has big "We'll colonize the moon in 10 years!" Musk energy.

I remember when we were 12-18 months out from AI white collar job automation, 12-18 months ago.
Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft's AI chief, says AI can automate white-collar jobs within 12-18 months, as tech reaches human-level performance in tasks.
Microsoft AI CEO predicts 'most, if not all' white-collar tasks will be automated by AI within 18 months

I remember reading once that everyone thinks AI will replace jobs in someone else’s field, not their own, because any level of expertise immediately puts the lie to AI “capability.”
that AI will definitely take over programming is mainstream knowledge even though it's *not true*.
so we have multiple non-techies who are keenly good in their own fields talking like this hilariously false claim is true.
they fell for the brochure. but what's the path to this factoid falling?

Every time an AI scumbag blocks me, I grow stronger. Your grift means nothing to me and I am impervious to your "inevitable" bullshit. I know you are liars, and every time you breathlessly talk about how you can't tell if your LLM is alive or not, I have less reason to respect or trust you.

The only benchmark I give a damn about is "OpenAI fires all their HR/lawyers/<insert white collar work>" because they're convinced their AI is good enough to replace them." (Although given the chronic dissemblers and liars they are, even if they did so the second part would still be in question.)
