I stopped handwringing about Biden's debate performance about 2 days after it happened. I've basically completely forgotten it after the supreme court was like "Hey maybe we should have kings again? that sounds pretty neat" I just do not give a shit right now. This is what we got.

I hope that someday people will stop viewing animated movies as rough drafts of live action movies. Like the people who made the animated movie ACTUALLY meant to make a live action movie, but they had to settle for animation, so making an adaption is like fixing a mistake they made, you know?

It's been a part of my life for so long, 24 years, that I never even realized it until tonight but: I get the theme song to That's My Bush! stuck in my head at least once a week.

Has AI actually made anyone's job easier yet or has it made everyone's job, at minimum, slightly harder because now they have to deal with sorting through and fixing AI garbage?

Hearing that people booed an AI animated film at Annecy. I know... KNOW that there are many TV and film animation executives at Annecy right now. Know it for a fact. Make your boos loud enough that they'll hear it in their hotels.

So.... does this mean that I can no longer guarantee that my work is free from AI input? Wtf?
What does this do to all the WGA agreements that were just made? What does it do to NDAs and artists who are making an AI-free guarantee?

I haven't drawn for joy or practice in so long that my hand has completely forgotten how to draw... Everything? Like... all things? It's kind of worrying. Like I don't know how to put a head in perspective. It's weird. It looks like stuff I was drawing in jr. high.

Whenever someone says someone is very talented in something creative (comedy, music, art, etc) I always agree but say"Yes, they're very skilled." Because saying it's just "talent" makes it seem unknowable unless you're born with it. I don't agree. Talent is like 10% of ability and skill is the rest.

how much does it cost to pay someone to code an arcade-style game for a phone, but I do all the artwork, sound, design, etc.? Like an endless shooter or an endless maze game with a slightly unusual control scheme?

"This is the future!" Ok cool, and what will we be getting out of this in the future? Like you seem to think you get money from this somehow, but as a consumer, I don't see why I give you that money. What am I paying for?

A thing about this AI boom that's so weird is the reasoning behind it. "It will reduce costs!" ...to do what? Thinking from the perspective of a hyper-capitalist CEO, what is it that consumers are getting? What are you selling that this is gonna reduce costs for?What are people gonna buy from you?

If you're ever curious about how insane and difficult it is to get messages out to the public now, I found out that a former president of the United States was convicted on 34 felony counts from a joke on the Americana at Brand Memes Instagram page.

Honestly? It's time to bring back movie voiceover guy. Don't just throw "06/07/24" on screen and expect me to remember it. That's just a buncha fuckin' numbers. Get outta here with that shit. Have a guy yell it at me in the audio! "ON JUNE SEVENTH!" like damn dude! ok! June 7th!

I have no idea when any movie comes out. I only realize it's been released when people start talking about having seen it. A few weeks later I finally have time to watch a movie and I look for it and guess what? Gone. When marketing only lasts for a month, this is what happens.

What if movie studios stopped relying on opening weekend to make their money back like it's still 2005 and started making the assumption that people are used to doing stuff at their own pace now and give them a couple months to get to it?
