This is actually a pretty succinct way to describe AI image generation, too! There is so much more that goes into a final illustration, piece of concept art, or a storyboard than the final deliverable image.

They say:

- the government must not weaken copyright law, and should instead strengthen licensing, transparency & enforcement
- the government should stop prioritising large multinational tech firms

They destroy the argument that big tech should be given the country’s creative output for free, and they lay out the case for maintaining and even strengthening existing copyright law to protect creatives from exploitation.

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

'The Offering' by Lithuanian artist MK Ciurlionis (1875-1911) who was considered a pioneer of abstract art in Europe. His subject matter was often enigmatic & esoteric with a suggestion of art nouveau & has lost none of its curious appeal with the passing of time.

a three panel comic about SΓΈren Kierkegaard in which the text of the man reads backwards and the dog forwards "Life can only be understood backwards" and the dog "but it must be lived forwards"

It's that time in my Making comics intro course when I talk image-text relations, which gives me an excuse to share 2 favorite comics that do bewildering things that can only be done in comics! Ibn Al-Rabin's seminal Le Verbe ProphΓ©tique alongside the always brilliant @tomgauld.bsky.social. So good!

We're testing an updated release of Glaze for NVidia 50xx GPUs. If you have one of those chips, and want to help us test out the new binary, add a comment below. We just need a few volunteers to make sure the new binary works as planned. Thx.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

America’s teachers are working two jobs and barely getting by | CNN Business Ashley loves her day job teaching math, reading and science to fifth-graders in Washington. But like many other teachers, Ashley relies on a side hustle or two to get by.

The overwhelming majority of American public school teachers (71%) hold at least one side job, according to a new survey released today.

The Supreme Court doesn't care if you want to copyright your AI-generated art The highest court in the US declined to review a case about copyrighting artwork created with the help of AI.

Promising court cases and rulings from the US Copyright Office so far!

Hollywood’s talent is unmatched. It was an honor to celebrate the artists who bring our stories to life at the SAG Awards.
But admiration isn’t enough. We must protect performers’ name, image, and likeness from AI misuse and deepfakes. I urge Congress to pass the No FAKES Act.

gmail's infuriating, intrusive AI just writing whole-ass emails for me now as "suggested replies." another affront.

I say this all the time but just a little bit of back-of-the-napkin math reveals how hard this noble goal is. Say six people, livable Los Angeles wage, 1-2 years to Make The Thing? You’re getting toward $1 million really fast, which is more than any individual anim/film/game worker has in the bank
