You and me both, fam. I can't even imagine how it must be for a trans person to live in the US south - it is just mind-baffling to think of what it must be in other countries that barely even recognize any of those rights or are even outright hostile to the identity.

It's such a goddamn shame that he's now some sort of Alt-Right icon in their quest for "free speech" cause I'll admit that I used to look up to this fuckin guy.

Take us back a few years, before COVID, and when SpaceX was doing their cool shit - I was fucking pumped about the guy. He was pushing forward in the realm of space exploration and I was absolutely fucking jazzed about it! Or at least that was the appearance; I know that SpaceX has a different company structure to Tesla where Musk can't interfere as much.

Fast forward to now and I gotta ask: dafuq happened?

But I know what happened - he really was always kinda like this. It's just that now - it's going to be a really big damn financial mistake for him and good riddance. He's definitely not some scientific genius - he's just some emerald mine legacy that wanted to throw money at that sort of image.

I think it's even more goddamn nefarious than just destroying the planet for wealth - if some of the shit I've been reading is right, then AI has changed the game and this strike is our fucking chance to get ahead of the shit that these studios want to pull. In what world is it okay to pay an actor a single day's worth of work and retain their likeness in pepertuiry using AI generation.

I'll admit that I'm not very knowledge on the whole workings of the AI part of it, but I do feel like every actor should have full control over their likeness and how it should be recorded and how it is applied to AI.
