So Here's the Thing @carbonbasedlifestyle - Tumblr Blog

So Netflix is releasing this animated movie but here’s the thing - all backgrounds are done in AI. No actual BG artists were hired or credited for this work.

And here’s the kicker - I gave them too much credit. I realized that not even the AI users are credited apparently. Check this out:

“+Human”. No names, no nothing.

I know it’s tempting, but please don’t hate-watch this thing. Numbers equal profit even if the people watching are just doing it to mock. Don’t give Netflix and other studios even more incentive to fire more animators and replace them with machines trained on their work and skill.

Hilarously, the excuse used is ‘there aren’t enough artists’. That’s not true - there are more than enough artists, but the real issue is that no one wants to pay a living wage. Here’s a short video about the reality of animation in Japan.

The biggest winners in this equation at the end of the day are the AI infrastructure owners - owners of Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc. Do not feed this machine, it creates more monopolization of entire industries, raises a powerful few and dehumanizes the rest.

like to charge reblog to make airbnb die faster

airbnb used to be a nice little side gig for when people had an extra room they wanted to rent out for an occasional weekend because their kid went off to college, or to let people stay in their camping cabin in the off-seasons, just simple hospitality and such. but then the landlord types got the big idea to buy up properties and do all that stupid nonsense in attempts for profit, and since hotels would fill up quick in vacation cities, they did have “success” in that for a bit. and then they just bought more and more and made things worse until hey guess what, everyone’s sick of your shit and there’s vacancy at hotels again.

landlords can get fucked

The funny part is that this is literally just the free market working. If your thing sucks, people can decide to not buy it
