#IP Training

[thoughtportal]

an important factor to remember in the writers strike. So many industries want to turn the worker into a gig worker with no protections and no mentoring system.

The first time I realized that digital piracy was morally correct was when Final Space got cancelled. I learned that it wasn’t just cancelled, it was completely scrubbed from all streaming services. As in, you straight up can’t watch it legally anywhere. And then the same thing happened to Infinity Train, and now a bunch of WB movies like Batgirl and Coyote vs. Acme have been actively destroyed before even seeing the light of day.

Regardless of your personal preference, it is supremely fucked up that any work of art is now in danger of basically being unpersoned by some executive who’s only motivated by money.

The Ocean Saga has been my favorite ever since it released but the Thunder Saga literally came and drop kicked it out of the way

watching seal videos for research (<-lying) is so wild because why are you guys just standing like ten feet from a fucking leopard seal. Those dude will fuck you up get AWAY

Exhausted from suddenly debating about the ethics and legalities of generative AI (specifically on arts) with someone what a wonderful reminder that the future is bleak what a wonderful reminder that corporations will screw you over if they can and most people generally don't value creatives or creativity (in general, regardless of field) think happy thoughts Mamon just play LOTRO or something

[prolibytherium]

I think there's plenty of ethical concerns re: AI art but most people criticizing it fundamentally don't understand how the image generation processes work and are imagining it as very literal 'theft', or are operating on kneejerk reactions about """""Real Art""""" that aren't fundamentally different than any other attempts to separate 'true art' from 'fake lazy art' throughout history, so the conversation is kind of doomed to be bad and annoying from the start

2004: piracy is destroying our creative industries. The unauthorised use of our intellectual property discourages people from generating new media and devalues everyone's work.

2024: Oh you wrote/ drew/ animated/ filmed/ sung something and uploaded it to our website? We'll sell that shit to the highest bidder to train their garbage generator lol

UNIONIZED, BABY!

I frequently feel completely isolated no matter how much I talk to people. So that's fun

[curly-fried]

I legit think that Karla Ortiz is a coorpate pawn to redirect workers anger and fear of automatisation to a strengthening copyright law. Bc this is harmless and even beneficial to the capitalists of animation studios and other art companies.

[todayisafridaynight]

rgg studios addicted to making daigo support, i'm p sure most of his rggo cards are support too, no? (i say that with confidence but i'm not sure that's actually true now that i've typed it haha well all the rggo daigo cards i've seen are support at least)

dps glass cannon would suit him though - the only rgg character to get downed by one bullet

DPS GLASS CANNON IS HIS CALLING rgg doesnt know their man like i do. theyre nerfing him on purpose to keep the game balanced

stranger things merchandise is so god damned goofy. why are there so many highly detailed figures of the demogorgon and vecna? like who fucking cares?? can we get at least ONE nicer, full-sized figure of steve? why do we need 4678399 different funko products for this franchise?? can they collab with mcfarlane toys again to give characters like steve and nancy nice figures??  perhaps neca? neca has a great line of horror figures!! i would buy a steve one in a heart beat!
