And her new show not on Disney+, Knights of Guinevere, looks amazing and insane
Did it get picked up? I loved the pilot
Pretty sure Glitch funds their own shows from merchandise sales, no picking up required.
I was sure they just made the pilot, which would then be shopped around.
They did a great job, though, and I'd love if they did the whole series.
Our first 2D show is HERE! So much love & care went into every aspect of this pilot and we're so happy with how it turned out.💙 Now we're looking at funding a full season. Support us by getting some merch! ► https://kog.store/ No pressure though, hope you have a great day!
-- Pinned post on the KoG pilot.
I didn't find a source in my quick look around, but I think Glitch is trying to shop some things around under a sub-label for things that won't be available on their YT, at least not initially, like with Amazon or Netflix doing the distribution. I don't think KoG is one of those projects, but I'd have to find the source to be sure.
Well, that's great news. Thank you.
ROT13

Shouldn't we use ROT26 or better yet ROT52 by now to keep up with crypto analysis computing power?
I say we do it like 3DES. One forward round of ROT13, then one backward, then another forward. (3 rounds total.)
SLAM!
Slammin'
THIS IS JIMMY
Showrunner, but sure animator works. Feels diminutive, though.
Like, would you (the article writer, not OP) call Steven Moffat a writer if you were writing an article about a beef he had with the BBC?
In no context would I ever call Steven Moffat a writer.
This does beg the question of how the public is expected to adhere to copyright law when these giant companies have exploited and violated copyrighted materials universally to build the LLM databases they use to save money and cut jobs to produce 'quality' art. This goes beyond the bullshit rhetoric we have to endure from their sponsored political goons, that asserts that job creations is sacred but ALSO it's great that these companies are cutting tens of thousands of jobs because they're investing in AI. Bottom line, I'm not losing sleep over people making copies of digital media these companies produce this way, and not just because data can effectively be copied for free, but on principle There isn't even the pretense of selling a disc in a case anymore, it's just bandwidth and storage space, most of which is provided by the end user.
If I am ever questioned about my piracy, I'll just say I am training AI.
An AI "ingesting" content is no different from a person "consuming" it.

If Disney rolls their own model (or finetune), that's not really an issue for them specifically? They have plenty of access to their own IP, stuff they already license, openly licensed data, and massive tooling for synthetic data generation.
...If they just wrap Sora, the irony would be tremendous, yeah. That's the absolute quickest and laziest thing to do and they could namedrop 'OpenAI' in earnings calls, so there's a good chance they'll do that.

The people who are still subscribed throughout all of Disney's various controversies aren't suddenly going to grow a moral backbone now..
It starts somewhere. For some people, why not now
Uhm.. yes?
Maybe stop using Elons musks platform if you want to act righteous?
But also yea people should stop using shitter
Twitter. Just always call it Twitter.
i will always call it twatter, and it will always be ok to deadname corporations

I've always called it Twatter, never stopped.
A pitchfork obeys only the person holding it.
This is a non sequitur. She doesn’t have a professional relationship with Twitter

I'm already there, matey.
Pretty much. Originally subscribed for the Simpsons.
Unsubscribed after all the Star Wars garbage.
Then forgot if I did during the whole Kimmel thing and tried to unsubscribe again.
I say again:
If "slammed" is not followed by "through the annoucer's table", use a different word.
Or you could stop wasting your energy being angry about it because it's not going to stop any time soon.
Not really angry about it, just annoyed.
Like when I see people with their windshield wipers set to Warp 12 when it's barely raining. It has zero impact on me or anything I'm doing, but it triggers a mild irritation.
People really need to start speaking with their wallets because these companies are going to continue to load their platforms with cheap shitty content and more and more ads until they get some pushback. But people won't, or at least it doesn't feel like it will break any time soon.
The irony of AI cartoon ads all over the article page for me
