I was curious as to who actually uses Behance. I can't really see the point of it, except for early career creatives, looking to host a portfolio and entice commissions *from agencies*. I can't see potential clients going there. Turns out I was wrong. Even agencies don't use it. It's just a place for people to show off to their peers. #adobe #creativeIndustry

AI is already impacting creative industries. My hope is that we may have a say in how AI is guided, moving forward.

Fingers crossed: I've applied to represent the Presentation Guild at the US Copyright Office sessions on Artificial Intelligence as effects creatives. If accepted, I'll be addressing the USCO at the May 17 session on Audiovisual Works. Grateful to USCO for taking seriously the need to mitigate the negative impact of AI on our professions. AI is amazing; mindfulness and harm reduction are imperative.

All sessions are via Zoom, 10am–1pm PT/1pm–4pm ET
Attendance open to all; must register in advance.
Details and registration links: https://copyright.gov/ai/listening-sessions.html

• Literary Works, incl. Software, took place April 19
• Visual Arts: Tuesday, May 2
• Audiovisual Works: Wednesday, May 17
• Music & Sound Recordings: Wednesday, May 31

Recordings of all will be made available.
The USOC will also offer future ways to give input.

I just read an article by James Bridle on AI in creative industries that says relax, sure it'll all be grand...
It puts forward some good arguments but at no point does it address the fact that people will lose their jobs, careers and livelihoods because of AI being used to extract maximum profit and replace workers. Bridle's article was written from such a height of privilege that it's amazing it managed to make its way down here to nestle among the proles. #ai #creativeIndustry

A paper published in the Sociology journal in November 2022 found that just 8 percent of actors, musicians and writers were from working-class backgrounds: half the number of the 70s, despite decades of initiatives to make the #arts more open and diverse.

"Tell me what to do, not how to do it!"

Keith & Jagacinski experimentally find that setting goals related to process reduces perceived autonomy, intrinsic motivation and ultimately creativity. 💡

This resonates with discussions we had over the years with creative industry professionals.

Give these people some freedom and they'll deliver great work! ♥️
