I cannot stress enough: you cannot give an inch on this issue.
The moment you start accepting media using genAI for "small" things or just tiny aspects of production, they will only start outsourcing more of the process to AI
This is how the smallest end of the wedge is driven in against laborers

We’ve seen a wide range of accusations regarding the use of AI-generated content in The Alters, and we feel it’s important to clarify our approach and give you more context.

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago.
Where have most of the gains gone? To the top.
Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity.
This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

I personally consider the boycott a success because it was a baby practice action for people who have never done that before. People got on board! They got to feel what it was like! It was easy! And when they get asked to do something next, they’ll have an experience to build off of.

I’ve found that people in “elite” positions of power often crumble when they face a tiny amount of pushback, criticism, or god forbid, the type of online abuse and harassment that many of us deal with regularly. They also conflate the two and use their power to suppress legitimate criticism

I absolutely hate the phrase "rolled back". It makes it sound like they released a bad software patch. They aren't "rolling back protections and rights" they are TAKING AWAY protections and rights. Away from normal, not rolling back to normal. Stop saying it
Please stop saying "rolled back diversity goals" and start saying "the company capitulated to a segregationist movement."

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
