WIP for my zoetrope class
+i feel like i’m losing my mind why has the AI debate pivoted away from material/labor concerns back to debates about Real vs Fake Art. cannot express just how little i care about relitigating Art and high art and low art and skilled vs unskilled art. what i care about is the treatment and compensation of workers, the power corporations are exerting over intellectual property and creators, the continued extraction of resources, and the omnipresent glut of spam and disinformation with few regulations and resources that filter out the SEO AI generated nonsense

+THEY FUCKING DID IT! fantastic news! Solidarity with SAG-AFTRA!
This is huge and historical, BUT The WGA strike isn’t over just yet!
Contract language is being finalised and will be presented to the wga board on Tuesday 26th September for voting. Once/if it passes, it will then move to the wider guild for ratifying.
The WGA is still officially on strike until the 27th September 2023! Solidarity continues with SAG-AFTRA.
(I put this in my tags but adding to reblog bc IMPORTANT! They have won but it ain’t over just yet.)

“Your community is situated in a popular Canadian drilling region. Has there been more conflict there, apart from yours?
There’s been all kinds of stuff that’s happened in my area that never hits the papers. Supposedly, someone blew up a pipe just across the border in Tomslake, BC.
And there was one sour gas well that blew right on the same road two or three kilometers from the alleged bombing site. The pipe actually blew out from sand corrosion on an elbow from fracking—they hadn’t cleaned it out properly—and that thing blew for eight hours. The people in that area had to self-evacuate. Nobody came.
Even when they called 911 they didn’t come. Eight hours of "jet engine” blasting of sour gas into the atmosphere. Cattle lost their fetuses, horses got sick, and one of the women who lives nearby is sick, probably for life.“
This is a protest. His refusal is saving lives and land. Imagine the whole community doing this. A whole city. Region. Tribe.
