not a direct comparison but this is how I feel about companies/teams showing allyship out of fear rather than compassion. its so easy to spot token service when theres so many great examples of going out of your way to make sure your community is heard, represented, celebrated

CLOSE ENOUGH

CHRISSY COSTANZA

You know how Tolkien was describing Melkor as someone who cannot create life on his own, but only twist and distort what's already been created. That's how orcs were made from elves. That's what Iger is doing with animation.

Very few people are willing to admit it but Closer by the chainsmokers was the definitive song of its era

JRPG lovers are either the most progressive loving people you have met or incel gamergate types. It's so apparent if you have any fem-presenting friends who play JRPGs on stream. So many awful people feel the need to gatekeep and bully.

I am SO EXCITED to finally share this video I've been working on. I wanted to highlight eight incredible creators whose dance pad runs have personally inspired me. Go check it out! youtu.be/7jQObtoFoZY

great example of misleading data if generative fill worked well, you'd use it once then move on. because it DOESN'T work well you have to go back and try again, it reports being used more a time saver being used more is NOT an indicator of success. it's an indicator of FAILURE

MY GOD

I've been looking forward to sharing more backstory of how our team created Arkheron and I'm thrilled to finally share this first step with the community 😊

I learned the sax on a $150 junker held together with medical tape. I learned how to notate music w/ a pirated copy of Finale. I learned to transcribe music by ear w/ time-shifting tools in Audacity (free/open-source). Needing AI to pretend to be a musician is loser behavior.

Ai existence made me way less picky to human made art. Now I like almost everything I see when I know that it’s created by a real person who actually tried. It became way more precious and respectful. Please doodle, sketch, paint, sculpt. You all are incredible

goodbye, austin.

one of my most deeply held beliefs about my profession is that it was a mistake to teach words like “optimization” to people who have had their brains surgically removed
