Things That Are on Your Mind

[A Link In Time]

thinking about what the guaranteed success of the Mario movie would entail for Nintendo related movies for the next decade
would they strictly stick to Mario sequels? could we get spin off movies focused on DK, Luigi, Wario, or so on? would they immediately want to jump into Zelda and other non-Mario properties? are they going to stay with Illumination for everything going forward or would they find different studios for different kinds of movies they want to make? will Miyamoto always be tied to these movies or would he just have someone else/a team oversee future movies?

Keep in mind that Nintendo rebranded Dynamo Pictures, the studio behind the Pikmin short movies, as Nintendo Pictures earlier this year, and considering Miyamoto's ties to Pikmin, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a candidate for the next Nitnendo movie.

Feeling annoyed at AI "artists".
While I do think AI can be used as a tool I can't help but feel extremely annoyed at people simply use it to copy another person and call themselves artists.

It feels extremely disrespectful to use it to copy someone's style and then claim authorship. The material used for feeding it for training isn't theirs, it's tracing with extra steps, it's borderline theft. Some have been having the audacity of using it to sell this sort of content, sometimes by tricking people, and it just makes me kinda mad.

I agree 100%.

yeah it's been more in the spotlight about how those programs source existing art

i did see a very nice exchange awhile back where someone posted a photograph and someone commented asking for permission to use it for ai art and i thought that was kind of cool. like i mean, this isnt the first instance where people use people's art without permission, but it's taking ownership of it in some capacity as well as not always even being aware of who the original artist is at the same time, and that's pretty unfortunate.

hopefully proper ettiquette with this stuff comes with time, as people are still figuring out what the heck it is, but i'm sure there will always be those couple assholes, cuz that's true of any art.

At least the only real accomplishment AI achieved in music was to create a composition that only merely imitated Johann Sebastian Bach.

AI still has yet to outperform human composers and songwriters.

This morning I got certified in nonviolent crisis intervention. This training is something I've wanted to get for such a long time because of the population of students I work with, but subs aren't allowed to get it. Glad I finally can now that I've gone full-time.

Seeing news about why the old VA for Bayonetta didn't come back for 3 being Platinum's refusal to pay a proper amount for a voice actor's hard work just more evidence for creative workers often not receiving the same recognition and respect for the way they make their living. Unfortunate, really.
