Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes βI love struggling, it makes me feel aliveβ is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.
For those looking for background: the group is called The First Amendment Troop, and the piece is entitled, "ResistDance." This appears to be their original Instagram post: www.instagram.com/reel/DU1-DrF...

I think what we all need is to let the warm sounds of Lee Petty's voice wrap around us like a soft blanket and whisper deep truths into our ears. Trust me on this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PIg...
I have no idea how this play (three separate plays connected by the history of a memory of a TV episode) structurally fits into a screenplay. Which is why Boots Riley is a perfect fit to adapt it
RoguecraftDX only on Evercade? Not any more! We are bringing our award winning game to many other platforms!
RoguecraftDX is coming to the Amiga, over to Mega65, and to the venerable GBC!π

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot
Excellent piece.
βEvery reduction in friction is sold as liberation: freed up for creativity, freed up for higher pursuits. But freedom from what, exactly? Freedom from the very activities that build capacity, that create meaning, that forge identity, that make us feel we matter.β

The marquee of The Crest movie theater in Shoreline, WA, near Seattle, featuring Wake Up Dead Man and three other films.
Much love for Wake Up Dead Man from The Crest theater in the Seattle area! Packed house, sold out all weekend. (Was too polite to take a crowd photo but hereβs the marquee.)
Gonna catch myself here: if I believe genAI disempowers artists at scale by training on and displacing art, I should oppose training on public domain works, and/or shortening copyright terms. I think I merely mean to say training on PD is obv not traditional infringement and difficult to oppose.
(I would use softer language throughout except for Bluesky's character limit. π ty for posing the question in earnest, and encouraging discussion!)
My incomplete belief is that genAI training is an all-new kind of copyright violation that ought to be recognized by law.
I simultaneously hold that existing copyright law is over-extended. More works should be in the public domain, I do not oppose genAI training on public domain works.
I'd argue that the former modestly and briefly empowers the infringer without necessarily disempowering the artist, while the latter grossly empowers the infringer and disempowers many artists at scale. Legal tort/case law is not the conveyor of moral value, esp wrt copyright.
I otherwise agree with replies about transitive stigma: your joke slide uses genAI, so you might also be using it for other things. Recognizable use of genAI for any purpose demands more critical attention of the entire presentation, with less reason to believe that effort would be rewarded. /end
I'm sure genAI images will become less recognizably so over time, and maybe they replace clipart (illicit or otherwise). I also expect mash-up culture to fade in the presence of these toolsβbut not necessarily be replaced by them. I'm not sure what the next cultural shift will be. 3/
The power dynamics between these cases are *very* different: one is me stealing your photo for five seconds to impress a room full of people, the other is a massive tech corporation stealing everyone's photos to make photos obsolete in favor of their product, with my complicity. 2/
The question compares the moral hazard of stealing someone's work for this style of Internet-enabled low-effort collage for punching up presentations, vs. using genAI trained on the same works for the same purpose. I'm not sure this hazard is front of mind when a genAI image sours a presentation. 1/

I wanted to be a filmmaker so I became a software engineer to pay for film school. That was 29 years ago.
For those in the US - this is the best way to find if there's a theater near you playing our movie when it opens 11/26. Sadly no AMC on this run, but Landmark, Alamo and other wonderful chains can keep it running as long as they want, even past the 12/12 Netflix drop. www.wakeupdeadmanfilm.com
