As is fediverse tradition: it's more important to get the final word in and block the person you're talking to than to actually discuss anything.

You were the one doing the condescending 'smart guy' labelling and making assumptions about how I'll 'be good either way in film' as though artists in the film industry are somehow unaffected by AI.

@BenjaminNelan that's not ice water.

And this isn't hell. Yet.

@BenjaminNelan if they put money into it, they get a say even if it's not with an official board member.

I'd rather these companies compensate artists rather than fund the projects they are slowly taking ownership of.

Because, smart guy, they can fork it too.

@BenjaminNelan of course it is.

But it doesn't mean it should be funded by them. I imagine you'll be good either way in film.
