I do too hope the strikes are successful. That said, you’ve likely already been consuming generative technology for some time now. Disney alone has nearly a decade of research into it already. Advanced VFX applications use all sorts of generative tech too. When I was working in LA we referenced public data all the time. I know it’s gotten a huge spotlight on it given private AI capitalizing/evangelizing it all but the very real threat of digital scabs taking people’s jobs needs the biggest spotlight right now. I do think the tables will turn if nothing good can come out of Hollywood and those artists begin weaponizing that same tech against the execs. I see what studios are doing as no different than impersonation & identity theft by using this tech to limit working hours to skirt union protections.
Gonna offer my two cents as someone who entered the industry during the last writer’s strike. You’ll see some interesting creative divergence as said creatives crave expression and reach out to new venues like YouTube for the first time. It was one of many changes to the industry at that (and now this) time. I use generative tech because it’s part of this exploration of the taboo. Back then, YouTube was the taboo because it was effectively working for free and with no insurance or protection by comparison to a stable studio gig. Take away the studio gig, anything and everything could be opportunity for change and especially so the longer this goes on tbf.
I appreciate your efforts to keep things civil, even with the lacking tools to do so here on Lemmy. I hope y’all as mods take this conversation seriously because regardless of its history, at best it’s been co-opted by hateful people (IE the locked thread) and at its worse it’s a dog whistle for authoritarian/racist behavior. If you want civility, change the name. Only more of these 4chan rejects will come if you all do not.
This is the correct answer.
Why y’all gotta keep talking about reddit? Move on.
It’s literally in the comments. Mod note about multiple violations. edit: I only posted the mod link, quit blaming me.
I’m in agreement with you btw lol I think the names dumb, wanting to keep the master race title is the dumb hill to die on.
I certainly wouldn’t want to be associate with Nazis, not sure why that’s such a hard concept to grasp for y’all. The person doesn’t give a shit about what Nazis think either, they just aren’t using boogiemen like “the left” when trying to form thoughts and opinions.
y’all getting politically defensive when someone calls out or expresses any concern about racism is a tell dude. It’s just revealing how enabled & triggered y’all are by this.
That doesn’t remove the connotation for larger audiences. A layman will never know those details and will read master race as being about race. The social context and history are irrelevant, it’s genuinely a dumb hill to die on.
Thanks for letting me know
Ew just noticed the reddit tag on the bottom of this pic. Sorry y’all.
Probably one of the pokemon mangas.
I love mine. I used it as a remote PC for 2 years on my skoolie bus conversion. If your work is compatible with linux and don’t need a lot of intense specs (or can cloud all the heavy labor), then you’ll be just fine.
This is probably the stupidest comment I got and I freakin’ love it.
They submerge, not sink.
Thanks it’s a labor of love and robots as I use the series to navigate my own take on everything going on right now with Ai in as real time as possibly. I may start a twitch to make regular video content but haven’t fully made a choice. Being a vtubers sounds kind of fun though. Thanks for reading!
12k ain’t that much. I run a sub of 75k and they only amass two or three posts a day max unless something happens. Just post your OC if it bothers you.
