So Musk sent emails to European Twitter employees, firing them. Problem is, you cannot legally fire people that way here, so legally they're still employed and legally owed money for their time. But also, firing people as exists in the USA doesn't exist here...

Hey folks. This is scaremongering. The plague never went away and cases are found all over the world every year. It is treatable with basic antibiotics.
Authorities in the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia are on high alert after a suspected case of bubonic plague, the disease that caused the Black Death pandemic, was reported Sunday.

Firing requires a breach of a term in the employee's contract. Even then 2 written warnings are expected. You can lay people off. That requires notice and compensation by local law and written documentation submitted to local governments explaining why the layoffs are necessary.

Elon also asked his remaining employees to work long hours. But for his remaining employees here, doing so requires notifying the local government and the union. There entities have the right to enquire about the necessity of this. So this is another legal breach.

I personally approved the budget of that $3600 traffic cone. Yves called me up and said, "Palle, the investors are concerned about the cost of that traffic cone." And I said, "Eves, what do you want me to do? Use a traffic cone from our library of thousands of assets?"

A reminder that propagandists rarely just make shit up. Instead they leave out details or context and let their audience fill in the blanks according to the narrative they want. This is a great example. Yes weapons were found. They were the weapons the shooter brought.

With actual concept art I can ask for major surgery like moving a character to the other side of the image. With a flat file you can't do this, at least not without so much work you should have just had an artist make it in the first place.

Then the legal matter. Not every AI generated image is fully coherent. The ones that are usually are so because they strongly reflect the source images. You need to know if the contents in your image are actually yours to use.

Precision. A concept is a blueprint for environment artists, lever artists, prop artists and character artists. It has to answer their question about what to build. What kind of hinge? What kind of stitching? Old or new? What is the flow for movement? What are the sightlines?
