With the show that has been so pivotal to my online identity being five years old, I figured it'd be fun to analyze how well the show holds & why it struck such a chord. And you may also find some surprise discoveries from what was to come...

Join me as we look back at Glitch Techs, 5 years later.

I did learn one thing though just by walking around and doin my thing yesterday. I wont go into details but...

CEOs are indeed worried about how much power we have as a collective. C-Suite is VERY concerned about how we respond to their actions.

Remember that we have more control than they'd like.

This quote is rich and verbatim confirms that Iger and Disney literally don’t see artists as creatives or creators.

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI.

We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think.
stuff like this maybe
Anti-A.I. stamps!

Deleted the BlueSky app from my phone. I'm sorry, I just can not deal with all this doom anymore. It is actively destroying any sanity I have left, especially when it's during work hours.

I'll still be here, it'll just be limited to when I am on my personal laptop for the time being.

The pop of the AI bubble and subsequent economy crash needs to become the death of this era of predatory capitalism and venture capital and 'line go up'. We need to make it that however we can. I don't want to hear defeatist talk that it won't be. We only have the power when we all believe we do.

ISTG, after AI has officially imploded into the ether, artists all across the board need to make a point to start significantly upping the value of their work, as a way to firmly state 'never undervalue what we do ever again because we now have proof you can't replace us even if you try'.

"Why must the good die young?!"

As someone who grew up watching "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron" almost every day as a kid, the death of voice actor Jeff Garcia felt like a stab to the heart.

A social media startup is asking the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to cancel Twitter trademarks, arguing Elon Musk’s X Corp has abandoned them.

Operation Bluebird says it wants to use “Twitter” and “tweet” for a rival platform called twitter.new, and has already filed to trademark Twitter.

Reminder that not only do library systems have physical media (& many also lend tools, electronics etc), your library card may give you access to streamers Kanopy and Hoopla. We just watched Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of The Rainmaker via a hoopla the other night. Pretty good!
“As prices for streaming subscriptions continue to soar and finding movies to watch, new and old, is becoming harder as the number of streaming services continues to grow, people are turning to the unexpected last stronghold of physical media: the public library.”
The Last Video Rental Store Is Your Public Library
Audio-visual librarians are quietly amassing large physical media collections amid the IP disputes threatening select availability.
