I just provided several examples of successful boycotts. Perhaps look at your own reading comprehension?

Kind of gross you’d disingenuously and transparently exploit your cousin’s death to try and score points in an internet argument with a stranger.

Ran out of straws to grasp, huh? 

Oh I knew you weren’t done ;) 

Have fun bending over and taking it, I guess.

My end game was clearly stated in my very first response: “some (many) consumers are concerned about how creatives will be impacted and possibly be replaced by AI technology and would prefer to support business models that commit to protecting the creative class.”

This is terrible fiction. Please stick to your day job. Though I do like the obligatory reference to “cancel culture”. Are you sure you’re Gen X and not a Boomer?

I can see how it’s difficult for you to understand what I’m saying. You say I’m incensed (I’m not), you say I’m calling for a boycott (where?), and you don’t seem to understand the star system on this platform where numerous people have clicked on my comments to “agree” while almost no one has clicked on any of yours.

Dang, you really feel like you need a win here, huh?

Consequences of doing/saying what? Consequences of criticizing ethnic cleansing? On a platform run by a “free speech absolutist”?

I know plenty of Gen Xers. Most of them are pretty cool, but a vocal minority seems to be curdling into goal-post shifting narcissists in their old age.

I’m 43 years old. This is the perspective of a grown up. “WHO CARES LOL” is not. 

Former journalist here.

He’s a working comic. If you follow the industry you know him. But I put him in the same class as, say, Salvo Maniscalco, where like, he’s making bank, always working crowded rooms, clearly successful at his craft, you may have seen random clips of him floating around online, but your average person doesn’t know who…

You seem to be zeroing in on the lying, so I’ll address that in lieu of the AI art aspects.

Why does what matter? (1) WOTC using AI art or (2) WOTC lying?

I want to love Jodie Foster but she keeps making it hard. 

There probably isn’t an HOA out there that has a rule against detonating a nuclear device either.

JFC they’re gonna make a “young” Blue Bloods, aren’t they?

Offloading admin costs is why municipalities allow them. But the selling point to residents is uniformity, protecting property values, “safety” (real or perceived), etc... not the privatization of civil society... though some of my neighbors probably dig that shit too.
