I can understand Epoch's worries about these videos, but asking for all the creators profit seems overly vindictive. I hope Epoch loses on that count at least.

Creatives vs Generative AI
Who do you want to support?
As part of the #AI conversation, there's a question I wish #creatives would ask more: do they like creative work, or just the acceptance they get from doing it? Do they like art, or do they just want to be popular? Is anyone framing it quite that way? #writingcommunity
Continuing this notion of encouraging creative people to talk more about their creative work, particularly explaining clearly what it is they do ...
I propose a creative hashtag of some kind, which can be used precisely for #artists, #writers and #musicians to talk about their work.
That way, anyone who's enraged by creative people talking about their work to try to get people interested can simply filter the hashtag.
I'd end this with, what do you think? but I'm not sure anyone's even interested in this.
Actually, I know there are a lot of creative people on Fedi and recently I've had a look at some of the things people upload.
And I think one thing people on Fedi don't do well is to actually talk more about what they actually do, explain it a bit more, and to not assume people know what you're talking about.
This goes for #writers #musicians #artists #creatives #Makers
I think people need to talk about what they do more, explaining what it is, what they are posting, etc. Because you only usually read a person's bio once.
Sometimes I'm like, Oh, you make music? I've been following you for a billion years and I didn't even know!

My writer wife has recently restarted her (formerly paid, currently free) Patreon blog, now focused on creativity and living as a creative. This latest post is titled, "Get Up Again," and was inspired by her seeing a post talking about how "dreams don't have an expiration date." Give it a look (and maybe some of her other past content).

1. My first day at Hook Agency, Soho, London
2. My last day.
So much madness in-between.
I’ll try and salvage earlier posts, and thread them here.
As a member of the #ArtisansCooperative, I'm going to take some time over the next several months to highlight some of the amazing other artisans I'm in community with. Now more than ever, appreciating #art and supporting #artists is important. It's both an affirmative act towards #creatives, and an act of #resistance against #capitalism.
First feature dropping shortly!

If you need high quality #SoundEffects to enhance your #Media #Creations, get in touch. My microphone is never far away and always happy to be of service. Here's a #FieldRecording compilation showing the kind of SFX I already have ready to go.
I'd love to help so get in touch.
Apparently today is #WorldBookDay (why am I always late to these parties?)!
My #photography has been almost entirely self-taught, and most of that has come through reading books on the subject. I was a bookworm before I was a photographer, after all.
#Creatives, what's one book that has had the largest impact on your work? Let me know in the comments! Mine was Understanding Exposure (and others in his series) by Brian Peterson
If you’ve never seen #Floor796, prepare to be amazed. A single artist, in their free time, has been creating an enormous, tile-based animated #GIF filled with all manner of characters from all manner of media. They’ve just added a new tile today. #animation #art #creatives #ZeroAI https://floor796.com/#t2l4,203,949
Resources are also available after each week on an online portal, which I'm testing out for a (possible) future online asynchronous course on #Kdenlive. (Stay tuned! )
This workshop has been 5 yrs in the making, and I'm curious to know if there are other #media instructors here on fedi who teach #FOSS tools for content creation to #artists, #designers, #creatives
