not a single word you said here is true lol
The anti-AI people have invented an entire canon of fake language to justify their faves using it

Yes, the baker is lazy for going to the store and buying flour instead of growing his own wheat and milling it by hand.
Your comment exists only now because the friction is greatest between “art” i.e. visually tangible outputs that everyone can see at a passing glance, and ai which is nothing but a 10-100x multiplier depending on how its used.
No need for an artist to abandom crafting by hand, but human nature being what it is means the flashier and grander projects get the eyeballs.
Right now those are trivial to make with ai but yea many if not most are slop.
That will change over time.
Dont be surprised if someone who has mastered ai decides to take up art and get further along with it in a fraction of the time compared to someone who rejects ai completely.
Crying and complaining does nothing, its here and its not going away.
The only useful thing is to help artists find a way to embrace the ai tools that make sense for them.
Wholesale rejection of all ai because “gen ai ‘stole’ art” is just wasting time.

Nice work, but who told you that “…the end product is not the point. Art is about the process”?
A lot of “artists” confuse the craft with the purpose.
Young artists, please don’t take this advice. If you’re one of the few skilled enough to make a living doing art, this ideology will make it much harder to survive in the industry.
If you work for a studio, you’re there to provide value to the people paying you, not to soak in your own “artistry.” It’s a commercial venture. You should do your best work because it creates value for your employer and also elevates your own skills and stature in the field.
If you’re an indie artist, the stakes are even higher. Now you have to survive, which means being as efficient and business-savvy as possible.
If you raise $50K on Kickstarter and your choice is between making a three-minute “handmade” trailer or using AI to help create an entire feature or the first season of a series, you choose the completed project every time.
The odds of raising enough money to finish a handmade feature over several years get worse every year.
You aren’t serving your audience, your investors, or the people you employ by being inefficient.

Finally saw the documentary everyone has been talking about. I thought it was okay but highly unethical. Watching a guy eat that much McDonald’s every day just didn’t sit right with me.

I’m just going to say it: The number of engineers not using AI coding is approaching zero. We are not talking about it because the public has all the nuance of a witch trial, but I assure you it’s true.

The man who co-founded OpenAI turned down Meta and built a company worth $30 billion in under a year. Then he went back to his old university and told the graduates this:
“The day will come when AI will do all the things that we can do.”
Not some of them. All of them.
University of Toronto, 6 June 2025. Ilya Sutskever gets an honorary doctorate from the school where he started. He arrived in Canada at 16, sat in a Toronto high school for about a month, and was then let into the university straight into third year.
It was here, with Geoffrey Hinton and Alex Krizhevsky, that he helped build AlexNet in 2012. The neural network that kicked off the modern AI boom.
Then OpenAI. Chief scientist. The research behind the models millions of people now use every day.
In May 2024 he left. In June he started Safe Superintelligence. By March 2025 it was valued at $30 billion. Meta tried to buy it. He said no.
So when this man stands at a podium for ten minutes, people listen.
He does not talk about money. He talks about time.
His argument fits in two sentences. Your brain is a biological computer. So why could a digital one not do the same things?
Anything you can learn, he says, AI will be able to learn too. Slowly, or maybe not so slowly.
That is the part people clip and share. The part they skip is what he tells graduates to do about it.
The rules he gives are simple:
Accept reality as it is. Not how you want it to be. Not how it was last year.
Don’t waste time regretting the past. Every hour spent on what went wrong is an hour not spent on what comes next.
Ask one question: what is the best next step? Then take it. Then ask again.
You may not care about AI. AI will still affect your life. Ignoring it is not a strategy.
Watch what AI can actually do. Not the hype, not the fear. The real capability. That is what tells you how much time you have.
He ends by calling it the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced, and says overcoming it will bring the greatest reward.
The full speech is free. Ten minutes on YouTube. No login, no course, no waitlist.
What it costs you is ten minutes, and one uncomfortable question: if anything you can learn, a machine can learn too, what are you learning right now that it can’t?

The games we've long wanted, which didn't exist because they'd cost several times more to make than they'd earn back, will soon become possible. As will the games developers wanted to build, but couldn't with the resources available. It'll be a new golden age of gaming.

There is something poetic, almost mythic, about Elizabeth Holmes's dad working for Enron.

I think gen AI has a good chance of saving VR. Arguably it’s been content limited. And too hard to port existing games (where the market is). But many of those hurdles are now gone …

Tim gets it. It’s just like with Hollywood. We will no longer have to settle for whatever sells to the masses. We can have anything now. The bizarre. The weird. The terrifying. Anything.
I’m excited.

Developers who are getting value from AI should speak up. There's safety in numbers. MOST developers are doing it and loving it - and if they're not talking about it it's mostly out of fear for haters attacking them, their product, and their company.

Funny how the @NBA won't call this on the Spurs but will on SGA in a heart beat.
