    What’s your least favorite trope of this genre? I used to read a lot of these while bored at work and by far the worst one to me is stuff like:

    “Humans evolved on a death world with crushing gravity that blablablabla”; “There are thousands of predators there yet humans prey on them!”

    my author in Christ if our gravity was notably smaller we would not have an atmosphere and the idea to have a planet with a biosphere but without any predators is stupid on it’s face unless you explain why that is, which you never do!

    Honorable mention of aliens that have figured out interstellar space travel but still use their natural weapons to fight, who somehow are seen as scary by their peers.





  • Set aside a day of the week to do your job searching and application sending on. Teat it like your job on that day, but then don’t worry about doing it for the rest of the week.

    Lie on your resumes. The corpos you will work for will lie to you, so don’t put yourself at a disadvantage by being truthful. You owe them nothing when you show up for an interview.

    If you think you can learn how to do some BS thing the job wants you to be able to do, learn what it is enough to answer questions about it during the interview. If they hire you, learn enough to start working on it before you start.

    Yes, please apply the logic of stealing form large multi-national corporations to individual artists. Sterling logic.

    I know why my boss makes more money then me. Because he is my enemy in a class war.

    If any of these AI models draws art that is slightly too close to looking like Mickey Mouse the Disney corporation is sharpening the lawyer axe. I wonder why. But sharing is caring, right? Why would they do that?

    Oh right because they want to decide what their intellectual property is used for. A right that wasn’t afforded to basically every single artist whose stuff was used to train these models. These artists often rely directly on selling their art for their daily survival. Maybe they would have liked some money to sell their art for this purpose? Maybe they didn’t want to sell it at all? Doesn’t matter, they weren’t asked. If you don’t have an army of lawyers, the corporations will do as they like. Which is why Disney is save, while normal artists are fucked and weren’t even asked in what hole they would like it before they were.

    So shut the fuck up about sharing is caring, it’s easy to say that if you are the one taking advantage. I don’t know what field you work in, but I hope you lose your job to a robot that they trained on recordings of your work. You can tell me then how good it feels to share your skills.
