Let’s hyperfixate till we can’t anymore
AI “art” is for cowards. Period.

I cannot stress this enough: AI is on the verge of doing some very amazing things, but we are nowhere, not even remotely fucking close, to machine consciousness or reasoning. They cannot love you. They do not know you exist. They are not aware. “I think therefore I am,” and they DO NOT.

Re: Colbert. Let me put it this way: my autistic ass grew up hyperfixated on Paramount over everystudio else. Collected their VHS tapes, dreamed up making a movie for them. Let me remind the fellow neurodivergent politically conscious artists: it’s not too late to remember A24 exists.

No, seriously, I don’t think enough people comprehend just how fucking terrifying this is. For so many people. They are actively coming for your empathy and base-level decency and the more I think about it the sicker it makes me feel. And that we’re all just sitting in it. We need to fight.

Fight like fuckin’ hell LA. I hope every ICE officer never again is able to experience even a teaspoon of peace.

No time like the present to normalize publicly humiliating people who use ChatGPT.

"Chicago Pope" is like a 1994 SNL sketch. Airs at 12:20am, the only gag is that Chris Farley has a mustache and is doing a big accent. David Spade and the guest host (Joe Mantegna) keep breaking during it.

Amidst gnarly storms here in western PA and the general dourness of my sanity @danaterrace.bsky.social’s art book (and some lovely extra goodies!!) arrived and all is harmonious again. I’m too overjoyed to write something more elegant but simply put thank you Dana for all you do. :’)

We employ over 80 artists to carefully work on every single part of the animation and creative process.
You will never get the nuance, complexity and beauty of a Ghibli film without the human hand and their love.

We will never use AI to replace art in our works.

And so here I am for the… shit, I’m losing count once more. The thundercloud keeps getting grayer. The bird is primarily for the Ghibli AI flaunters, by the way.

With the White House using OpenAi to make racist propaganda in studio ghibli art style there has never been apt scene in anime history:

There may not be a better or more appropriately-timed act of radically creative defiance right now than supporting Princess Mononoke in IMAX.

Not that this needs to be reminded to most of the common sense folks here, but, genuinely: fuck yourself to no return if you partake in generative AI usage.

Flow winning Best Animated Feature is HUGE for independent animation. A major victory. 🖤
