It's not at all what you claim it to be. It has nothing to do with sexual activity. By the way it's framed, it sounds tantamount to "queer people exist. here are the troubles they've faced."

It also sounds like there was, at best, a supportive take. Telling kids that it's ok to love who they want to love is not the worst thing in the world. It isn't indoctrination, it's education.

I haven't watched the video mentioned in the article, but it sounds like the kind of education one might receive about a black jazz musician who grew up poor in the South and the difficulties they might have faced. What made them who they are and where they might have drawn inspiration from. It's cultural and like it or not, there is a large and growing queer culture.

Duh! and/or hello?

So many companies who bought into the hype and went all in on AI are feeling the pain of trying to shoehorn a mostly unproven bleeding edge technology that didn't actually fit their business goals. It's like years ago when everyone kept trying to figure out how to use blockchain in their coffee makers.

We're already there, it just looks different than what you describe. Food, shelter, and healthcare all require money in the US. Sure you have some free will, but does it ultimately matter? Are you really gonna go be a homesteader and live off the grid?

You have to work- sell your time, rent your brain and body out to whoever you can find to pay for it. You are unlikely to ever truly own the place you live. Either rent or long term mortgage, someone can come kick you out of your home if you don't constantly prove your worth. You must pay for your food, even the basics. Without selling a part of your life, you don't eat. In that case, how much of your life do you really own?

Beyond that, nobody chooses to get sick. Especially not so sick that they can no longer work. But of course, it happens. Are you valuable enough for medical care? Have you sold enough of your life to earn healthcare, even when you can't work?

Do you, as a human resource, generate enough value that you will continue to be fueled, stored, and maintained?

In terms of developing visual works, the difference is that AI is generally trained on images and videos that the companies have no license to. With CGI, it wasn't like they were just taking a bunch of other people's art, someone still had to do creative work.

It isn't so much that they're putting creatives out of work, but how they're doing it. These AI models wouldn't exist without art developed by humans.
