This is a great tactic, and it is incredibly fucked up that we have to witness new anti-gestapo tactics being developed in real time. Get those pigs outta there.
People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

You would rock it
But yeah you're right, I think animation workers get an extra 5-10 years before middle age applies

Realizing that I've been a middle aged bitchy lizard for a little while and not sure how to feel about it. Better to be bitchy than boring maybe

Following the vandalism of at least 11 government vehicles or rentals driven by federal law enforcement at a hotel in Eagan, Minnesota last night, it's safe to say—you don't want to stay at a hotel that hosts ICE, or even park your vehicle there. You don't want to host them at your hotel, either.

NVidia chief creep says resistance and scorn for AI have done a lot of harm. Good. Nice confirmation it's working. Keep it up. Although the main thing is this stuff is harmful crap so the mind and body tend to revolt against it automatically.

I'd be fine with most of the things I post being picked up and played with by whoever wants to do so (as long as they aren't profiting from it, which would take some negotiation, or using it for evil political ends) but genAI? It's gotta be destroyed.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, for example, is a silly way of using material in the public domain, but it's something a person did, and is completely different from a machine grinding up Pride and Prejudice into slurry and digesting the parts to write like Jane Austen.

Was discussing last night with a friend that the appearance of genAI demands a new set of rules around what classifies as "free and open access," creative commons and so on. It's a fundamentally different way of interacting with creative material, be it writing, music, visual arts or film.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities.
“I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.”
A profile in absolute courage.

I haven't framed through this but it's all about having great antics, settles, and a reeeeal big (but fast) gap between the two keys. When you're planning something like this you have to be bold and trust that when you make the switch over that gap, that it'll work. Because it -can- work.

The cool thing about animation is that if you're good at it, you can change a character's entire costume in front of the viewer - multiple times - and it will look as natural as if they'd flicked their wrist

Not to mention HVAC (recognizing how expensive it would be to retrofit old buildings, even just bringing in a bunch of air purifiers would help a lot)

Surprisingly rare to find people who are willing to say "human beings should be grist for the mill that prints my money" out loud, even today.
I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

There are actually only three genres of movies, and even among them there is a lot of crossover. The genres are arty, dumb, and weird.

Came to say the same thing. Nancy's devilish grin, and Sluggo too - though I'm having a hard time finding a good word to describe it

I don't care if it's a double standard, to me it's empowering when a woman in Japan can have surreptitious meetings with a married subordinate and still get re-elected against the dominant political party's preferred candidate cuz people like her policies, which include free childcare
