Art doofus

Networks would LOVE if the only option for audiences was generic slop because generic slop is easy to produce, AI or no. Theyve been cutting creatives out of the process bit by bit to undermine our right to our own work and maximize the share of the budget that stays in company's pockets rather than being used by the workers in the company for things other than stock buybacks.

Creatives love tech. We're often at the bleeding edge of new software and techniques that help the craft. So if we're rejecting genAI, it's because it's a tool that opens us up to liabilities and eliminates imagination while being vastly subpar to the tech we already have. (and thats without all the other issues, personally I dont want to feed an anti-social propaganda machine built and used by the worst people on the planet just to save five minutes of "effort")

The Luddites weren't wrong. Look at the state of mass produced textiles and the garbage quality PLUS intense human rights violations they come with. We could ALL have better, even for less, but billionaires dont want craftsfolk to have an equal share of the profit pie.

ms paint study from 2021

player1: I'm playing 3 raccoons in a trench coat. one has rabies.

player2: 18th century french nobleman who got isekaied into this dnd universe

player3: can I be a frog. And also know magic. As a frog.

Isekaied Frenchman is very obviously a vampire and hiding it poorly

Slime man privately confronted him on this. My character has figured it out but decided that he’s just gonna fuck with the dude until he decides he’s dangerous or not. This includes me handing him silver things and making pointed comments about how evil vampires are

Three of us had made our characters kleptomaniacs for different character reasons, so whenever something shiny is in the scene it’s honed in on by a raccoon, a giant slime blob, and a halfling

Haven’t been able to use it much, but I’m doing a bit where my character owes a LOT of money to “important and dangerous people” (his ex wife and her lawyer, for alimony) and it increases by 1k gold when’s ever someone asks how much he owes (the interest rate was in scientific notation)

Slime blob (described in both sight and taste as “Baja blast gone bad”) keeps leaving religious pamphlets in a language nobody can comprehend and keeps trying to preform slime based religious rites

Frenchman keeps trying to use Baja blast slime man secretions as deodorant

One of the raccoons is a chef who basically conducts anthropological studies of whatever culture the food is from, but he’s also nonverbal and communicates through snarling

ART!
