Iv said it before and I'll say it again. I love supporting other small businesses.. but if you sell products that use AI and have AI rubbish slapped all over it, you get no support or respect from me.

Its so disrespectful to my ART business. How can you expect me to be okay with what you do lol.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I made this video 3 years ago about a show from the 90s and it might as well have been yesterday given nothing has been learned since.

anyways, here's a video by @eddache.bsky.social that does a phenomenal job of explaining the dangers of moral panics and considering what's been going on for the past few years it is shockingly relevant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jen...

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure.

Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

Drifter Star @drifterstar.bsky.social · 7d

Went to a video Art exhibition the other day and bought this Hsien-Ko piece by @thepurplereaper.bsky.social.

Hsien-Ko was my first fighting game main in MVC3 and is very important to me, so I'm more than happy to support Reaper while repping a favourite character of mine.

A framed print of Hsien-Ko from Darkstalkers. She is laying on the ground, appearing upside down from the perspective. Three shurikens lie next to her and she is holding up a black chain attached to a metal weight with a frowning face on it.
