Creators make the content.
Admins keep the lights on.
Neither gets paid enough.
Let's fix that.
Let's get creators and admins paid to create and host Loops servers and prove the fediverse can sustain itself.
Does Iran even need nuclear weapons given they can just open and close the Strait of Hormuz to make the world shit itself?
Nuking anyone just once would invite a massive disproportionate military response.
Cutting off the world from oil? Can't justify mass casualties for that, and Trump's weak strategy has proven it.
You don’t need a navy to mess up Hormuz. Not only are guerilla tactics still on the table at that point, no insurer will let you sail cargo through that shit!

When Stable Diffusion first emerged, we were excited to use it for concept art and production. But as ethical concerns around copyright and training data surfaced, we walked away, abandoning hundreds of hours of research and style work.
It was a valuable learning experience, but until properly licensed datasets are standard, we won't use AI artwork. Some VFX studios are already leading the way with responsibly trained models.

Remember when TV seasons had 20+ episodes and we got to see those goofy episodes that filled out the world building and characters?
That era gave us some of the most iconic, genre-defining sci-fi ever made. Long-form character arcs and ambitious world building we rarely see now.
