The incredible artists, writers, actors, & team that I collaborated with to create Gravity Falls aren’t “resources” to be eliminated, they’re unique human beings whose tastes, talents & personal life experiences went into collectively authoring the series. The show would have been nothing without them, and your eagerness to get my friends fired creeps me the fuck out

@_AlexHirsch @haider1 or artists can use it to make better art with fewer resources, like this Pixar animator did animationmagazine.net/2026/01/google… imagine being able to make a show like gravity falls or the owl house independently without needing to get disney's approval to have two guys/girls kiss

sam altman: "many current jobs will go away, but we will find a lot of new ones" idk, but if we reach true AGI, any new jobs created will likely be done by that same AGI system so if sam thinks humans will still have work, he needs to explain what those jobs are and why only humans can do them because if AGI can't do it, maybe it's not true AGI

@Sockppp1 @haider1 Bro who are you talking to, I’ve been warning that this shit is powerful and out to destroy human labor for over 2 years. Go find whoever is saying the thing you just made up and clutter their @‘s instead

@_AlexHirsch @haider1 i dont understand how people like you simultaneously believe ai is useless and an overhyped bubble but its so smart that it will also steal everyone's jobs.

@nickstew_art @walterkirn lol I said faster, not better. But by all means, please teach me about the nature of creativity and art

How is it that the LLMs get things wrong constantly, the very simplest things, and make stuff up pretty much nonstop, yet they are said to be hurtling unstoppably toward god-like power -- if they haven't secretly achieved it already? Is this a con job?

He says “a child born today will never be smarter than AI.” And I’m like, no shit- our kids will be so brainrotted from algorithmically addictive slop & offloading cognition to GPT that they’ll be illiterate bundles of nerves trained only to react & consume. He won’t just meet his promise by making AIs smarter, he’ll do it by making humans dumber

@_AlexHirsch @GaryMarcus lol he also raises his kid using gpt, which is frankly insane

Altman’s bait-and-switch:

@katienotopoulos Ah yes great marvelous time to stick my face in a buzz-saw

Finally, the AI feature we all wanted and needed: Amazon now creates an AI “podcast” about products where two AI “hosts” discuss the product and take your questions as if it’s a call-in show.

@alexolegimas Misuse/ job loss are higher up on the list because they’re happening *now.* Imagine “Which are you most worried about, your arm on fire this second or a forest fire in a few years?” Everyone would say arm now, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t extremely worried about forest fires

I had this debate a few weeks ago where several very confidently told me that those closest to the tech — AI researchers — were also most worried about x risk. No, they’re not.

@Noahpinion Don't forget! Aside from being evil and believing in nothing- he ALSO has less charisma than a waterlogged corpse

JD Vance is an amoral careerist who chose to make himself the avatar of the most hateful ideas in American politics because he thought it would help him attain power.

@DariusAleksandr @NoLieWithBTC lol bro blocked me. Amazing how fast cult members crash out when you confront them with: a single fact

@DariusAleksandr @NoLieWithBTC Ahh well since you’re the expert, please explain to me why Trump shutting down these all of these research facilities is actually cool and based

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

@ibexdream Why would anyone want to watch something that no one put any thought or effort into

We're getting closer to the era where anyone can create their own animated series.

This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.

@FaytuksNetwork “You WONT get insulin, but your tax dollars WILL be used to bomb Iranian schoolchildren” - MAGA in a nutshell

BREAKING: Trump will frame the Republican Party's midterm message around a "massive defense buildup, partially paid for by cuts to domestic agencies and health-care entitlements" - Bloomberg

@DTVANews Great! Bosses decide how many books to physically print for the stores based on these early pre-order numbers. So the more pre-orders there are now, the more books will be in stores later! 🤞
