Sweeney tries to make out he's saying this in defence of the beleaguered indie devs who want to use AI, but remember that his company laid off 1000 people earlier this year before pivoting to AI. He's taking this stance for one reason: he loves money

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

Dammit. I really wanted meta to lose this in open court. This is the "Social Media Harms" trial that would have literally destroyed that company; looks like they finally realized that, too. That said, Meta will enact substantive changes to (& i want to stress this) *teens'* fb & Instagram accounts…

NEW: Over the last few months, Meta has run dozens of paid ads that included AI-generated CSAM. The ads, some of which were linking out to “nudify” apps, targeted men in the US, UK, and a dozen European countries. Some were running in the last few days

Okay, I have a gaming session tonight. I need an image of three people standing in an ancient ruin. The keys to the puzzle must be hidden within it. We start in a couple hours. I refuse to describe a scene to my players, and they refuse to listen to description. Narrative is for pussies.
