I lost credibility with industry contacts from publicly calling Adobe cunts.

But the industry won’t cut ties with Adobe for being cunts.

Ain’t that something.

Screenshot of the Adobe Animate End of Life FAQ. Question: Do you recommend another product for me to use? Answer: Customers with a Creative Cloud Pro plan can use other Adobe apps to replace portions of Animate functionality. Adobe After Effects supports complex keyframe animation using the Puppet tool, while Adobe Express offers one-click animation effects that can be easily applied to photos, videos, text, shapes, and other design elements.

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working"

So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images
Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator. In his email to the company, the CEO said "we’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search. I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work. Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits. If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."

Nothing Doing no. 62
p1: Autumn is sitting on a stool, addressing the audience. Autumn: Until today, the topic of AI in the workplace has gone undiscussed in this here comic strip. Given its nature, it feels like a substantial omission. Frankly, the degree to which we think it’s suck-ass makes it difficult to voice a more meaningful critique beyond “doesn’t this suck ass?” Still, we must satisfy the pedantic dweeb in our hearts. To that end, the cast of Nothing Doing now presents to you “Basically Every Comic We Would Make About AI” p2: Harvey is reading papers at a table. Harvey: Ok, next item on the agenda. In the interest of providing the most cutting-edge service for our customers, we have secured each of you a license to use the suicide engine. p3: Across from Harvey, the King of Sales sits tiredly while Autumn concernedly raises a hand. H: On each of your desks is a hammer, and- what’s up, Autumn? A: I don’t want to use the suicide engine p4: Harvey rolls his eyes at an unconvinced Autumn. H: Autumn, it’s impossible for a company to stay competitive and relevant in today’s market without embracing suicide. If you don’t start killing yourselves now, we’re going to get left behind
