So sure, all you “non-essential” personnel stay home. We saw how useless your jobs were during COVID. After this day, your companies will see that too and well, you can easily participate in more of these without fear of losing the job you don’t have.

I respect the ideal of a General Strike

It really doesn’t seem like you do, to be fair.

If anyone didn’t get the title (and/or wants to be sad), this is the animation it’s referencing

Useless fact: “Poppe” is Italian for “Boobies”. I’d say that’s fitting for a Noel fanartist.

I heavily doubt it's ads, channels whose majority of the audience mainly watches livestreams usually get very little from them. And they make a TON of money from superchats (and membership!) compared to the average streamer, so I'd assume the divide is even bigger.

The main reason why abandoning Youtube as a whole might be detrimental is for the visibility. You get a lot less new users if you spin a new platform, it's a move you can afford to make only if you know your current audience is enough to be self-sustainable.

Personally I think it would be economically feasible for them, probably not convenient to switch because they would lose a lot of visibility, but having a mirror site (and, especially, a mirror place to superchat dodging Youtube's cut) would be a genius move with their current market share, imo.

To encourage people to use the auto-generated ones and normalizing it.

I mean, I don’t see any other reason for them to remove a previously working format otherwise.

This is just intentionally making their platform worse, wow.

to me this is the same as good hip-hop versus people who just rap random shit over premade hip-hop beats. It’s “art” but its just no high quality

I still don’t think it’s the same, even the guy who rapped random shit over someone else’s beat put MUCH more effort and input into the “song” than the random prompt guy.

The line gets blurry when you talk about stuff like Duchamp’s readymades, which are considered “art” by a reasoning that you could easily apply to the prompt guy song too. Just goes to show how literally everyone has a different definition of “art”, and even a single person’s definition might be contradictory in itself.

One thing I wonder is if you make a recommendation system that generates new music purely based on what previous music you liked (That was also generated by AI) who is the artist? Think like spotify but the AI keeps creating new music based on what you like from it. In the end I feel you are the artist of that song then no? Your recommendations then created whatever final song you listened to.

Ehh… that’s just an indirect commission. For example, the Prince of Wales in 1876 was gifted by the Maharaja of Jaipur some british usage items crafted by the city’s artisans that were specifically made as a gift to him. But the “artist” in this situation is not the prince whose taste was tailored to, nor the Maharaja who commissioned them, it’s still the individual artisans.

In the case of the algorithm-made song, you basically “commissioned” to it a song made for your tastes, and it “gifted” it to you. But it’s still the algorithm who “made” it, not you. And personally, unless you take it and consciously edit/remix it in some way, I wouldn’t label it as “art”. But again, it’s a blurry subject and that’s just my opinion.

All forms of human production carry some artistic value, we simply value things where the production process feels less alienated than others (Carpentry vs factory work)

And we agree on that, I think most people do. What they don’t agree on is what qualifies a “human production”. Or, to which degree does a human have to get involved in a production for that to be considered “human”.

I think there’s a gigantic difference between someone composing a song and writing its lyrics, then pasting it into an AI and having it sing it (basically Vocaloid), and a guy going onto Suno, writing “make me a pop song”, and taking the first output. And they shouldn’t be treated the same way.

I think there’s a place for AI in music, just like sampling, and it has to be regulated, but not straight-up banned (or regulated in a muddy way like “substantially made by AI”).

It doesn’t help that everyone has their own personal opinion on how much AI should be allowed, though, and we’re never gonna reach a solution that everyone agrees on.

The first trailer seems standard Rhythm game gameplay, but in the second there’s also an Island (?) so I guess it’s going to have a sim component or at least some cutscenes

 

There’s also a second Teaser PV

 

Digital artists and illustrators are abandoning Elon Musk’s blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) over the introduction of a new controversial image-editing feature powered by artificial intelligence (AI). According to reports, the creators claimed that the new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

One such popular creator championing the boycott is Mu-jik Park, the renowned South Korean artist known by the pen name Boichi. Boichi is the creator of the hit manga series Dr Stone and Sun-Ken Rock.

 

In light of the recent criticism that Rockstar Games has been facing for its firing of over 30 employees, one employee from the studio has taken to the GTA Forums to talk about the company’s actions. Under request of anonymity, and having been verified as a real Rockstar Games employee by an admin, the person – using the name Organize – has further criticised the Grand Theft Auto developers, calling the company out for union busting.

 

Context: Hideo Kojima has been a guest star in this year's Lucca Comics & Games in Italy.

There he met with ZeroCalcare, an appreciated italian comic artist who, among the others wrote a very good visual novel titled Kobane Calling, a depiction of his travel to Rojava to meet the kurdish resistance against ISIS.

They took a picture together, with Kojima showing the japanese edition of Kobane Calling and Kojima put this on his social media.

Then, the turkish nationalists protested against Kojma because they ranked YPG fighters as "terrorists", to the point of asking Kojima to be arrested... As a result, Kojima removed the picture from his social media.

(Sorry for the social media post, but all other sources were either in Italian or from Turkish sites)

 

Twitch, the global leading live streaming service that empowers communities to create and watch together, is collaborating with hololive production to bring talents hololive fans know and love to the platform. Talents from hololive Indonesia, hololive English, and HOLOSTARS English will take over the front page of Twitch for an all-day the “holoday” celebration.

 

(Yes, this was released today, I guess it took a bit to come out lol)

 

Mori Calliope isn’t just a megapopular VTuber with 2 million subscribers and a discography that goes hard—she’s also a diehard Gachiakuta manga fan who’s lowkey been fiending for this kind of opportunity. She’s a part of the crowd who liked it before its anime adaptation made it mainstream. Her upcoming Gachiakuta theme song, “Let’s Just Crash,” aims to be a sonic embodiment of Gachiakuta’s volatile rage and righteous fury, mirroring Rudo’s descent into The Pit and his fight to reclaim justice.

In our chat, Mori Calliope broke down how “Let’s Just Crash” channels Rudo’s ongoing journey as the anime’s hero, how VTubbing let her cross the line from fan to creator, and how she hopes this collab will be the first of many to come as anime and VTubbing jointly become core tenets of pop culture.
