"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

In these uncertain and divisive times, we appreciate Anthropic offering support to the Blender project in the form of a Patron-level membership. This enables the Blender team to keep pursuing projects independently, and to focus on building tools for artists and creators.

They just partnered with Adobe. I have mixed feelings about this, as someone working in the creative industries. I have used AI to do some amazing things, and recently figured out how to use Claude to automate some boring, non-creative and time-consuming worklflows. This all, in theory is freeing me up to spend more time on the fun creative stuff, the problem is that nobody values creativity any more because they can just outsource that to AI.

This was never about bots being able to make art, they can't, they can only steal it from humans and throw it into a woodchipper and then try to duct tape it back together.

This was about dehumanizing human artists and I am INCREDIBLY unimpressed by how so many artists have leaned into this dehumanization without any reflection over whether this is actually a future or just a way to permanently reduce the quality of life of digital human artists by culturally associating them with algorithmic robots even though the human output is 1000% more creative.
