This is truly insane to me. Anyone who's ever worked with licensed Disney characters in any capacity knows the company is normally extremely particular with how their legacy characters can be used or portrayed. This deal completely relinquishes control over their characters' brand integrity.
Don't wait to experience one of the year's best in theatres. ⛩️✨

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.
re: generative AI
I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.
And now, you can use it, too.

"Sometimes there came a sensation as if a hand was drawn softly along my cheek and neck. Sometimes it was as if warm lips kissed me, and longer and longer and more lovingly as they reached my throat, but there the caress fixed itself"
The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

If you can’t protest, then drive by and honk to show your support if you can!
It means the world to protesters!

I stayed up late illustrating something for no real reason. I definitely didn't give out a google drive link with a high res version of it among friends and family for printing purposes.
"Know Your Protest Rights. You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”
Dark blue background with text: "Know Your Rights When Interacting With Immigration Agents. If you’re in a public space, you can ask if you're free to leave. If so, you can calmly walk away. You have the right to remain silent, even if you’re arrested. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone. If you’re arrested, you can say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. If you have valid immigration documents, you’re required to show them. Never provide fake documents. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere. If you’re at home, you do not have to open the door. ICE agents may not enter unless they have a warrant signed by a judge (have them slip it under the door). If they force their way in, do not resist, but you can remain silent." Know Your Rights.

Blue text: "Protest Tips From The ACLU Organizing Team. 1. Write important phone numbers, like legal aid, on your body. 2. Identify an emergency contact and protest buddy beforehand. 3. Turn your phone on airplane mode when not in use. 4. Disable your phone's Face or Touch ID and replace with a 6-digit passcode. 5. Covering your face may help protect your privacy - but depending on where you are, you may be subject to laws that prohibit wearing a mask. Check with your local ACLU affiliate for guidance on masking. 6.Take appropriate precautions and dress comfortably." Black background with light blue ACLU logo.
