That old saw about how “good times make weak men” is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they’re too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

Apparently, I used the phrase "out of spoons" when talking to my mother.
Apparently, she wasn't aware of the metaphorical use.
I just got these in the mail.

So the co-creator of Space Ghost and one of the guys who basically helped invent Adult Swim today works as a delivery driver for Amazon. I'm referring to Andy Merrill (voice of Brak, who put together the SG pilot in a storage closet at Turner) who apparently got extremely screwed in the deal.

Reminder: if you commission a piece of art from an artist, and give them detailed instructions, it doesn’t make you an artist. It makes you a commissioner of art.
You likewise don’t become an artist because you told a plagiarism machine what to do.

Art is sincere attempts of communication by the most interesting people of each generation. Ai content cannot pass a basic Turing test.
Don’t buy the ai generated images will get “better” than what people can do nonsense.
The point of art is not “better” images. That’s a child’s understanding.

"Content" is something to fill an empty vessel: it repositions your view of the world to align with corporations. Art becomes something disposable, fungible, serving a financial interest and nothing more. The word "artist" is right there; I beg you to claim it and leave "content creator" to molder
