It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

"Many artists who oppose gAI want to maintain an artist/creative class"
Ah yes one of the classes Marx wrote about, proletariat, bourgeoisie, artist.
My brother in christ PICK UP A FUCKING PENCIL
DPRK is a removedd worker's state - just look at the symbology:
. The ARTISTS (depicted by the brush tool from MS Paint) are above all!
Edit: the auto-filter removed a Trotskyist term. That's a sectarianism!
Yeah, it's a calligraphy pen. I'm just doing a stupid bit.
the only stupid thing here is my brain failing to see its a bit
Trotsky has sent in a cringe word. We shall neither print it, nor reply.
I wanted to become an artist but the goons of the creative class came to my house and confiscated all my drawing supplies.
Self-employed artisans were petty bourgeois.
Petty bourgeois extract labor value from others, small-scale artisans are generally not petty bourgeois unless they have assistants or something.
not necessarily, the petite bourgeoisie also include those who own and work their own means of production, which would include self-employed artisans.
Not so, if you own and work your own means of production but don't profit from others' labor value, you're just a yeoman by another name
Highly doubt most of the people drawing furry porn for rich guys these days are living a luxury lifestyle of eating caviar and having sex with models in Manhattan or shaking hands with MBS over oil deals
don't need to be wealthy, it's about your relationship to the means of production. Petite bourgeoisie just own and work their own means of production. Small business owners can't afford that lavish shit either
Not the point, please read Marx.
This is a disingenous take because the vast majority of artists in the world are likely proletarian. Consider anime artists, do you really think people who are employed by a specific studio and have to do hours a day of back-breaking labor are really... petite bourgoisie? They do not employ themselves, and do not have access to their own means of production.
My real point is that if you don't even know what classes Marx described, you shouldn't try doing Marxist class analysis until you read some theory. No investigation no right to speak and all that.
But I have clearly… Read the theory. Nothing I have said was incorrect
The artists have been hoarding the products of their labor for far too long, finally we can democratize their work
Do they not realize that the biggest gatekeepers of creativity is Adobe and any apps like them? Quite literally in their perfect world, only the rich get the luxury of having art as a career, and your boss will overwork you well into the weekend so you will never have the time to do art if the cost doesn't stop you.
Irony being adobe directly implementing gen ai into their software to undercut their very own userbase.
Man, and I was only joking when I thought that Adobe saw art as a luxury for the rich. Now they're directly implementing porky-friendly features into their growing enshittified apps.
