* Another completed project is being axed before it airs. Not just pre-cancelled, they aren't planning on airing it. This time It's a sci fi comedy with a POC lead.

This whole 'killing completed projects' thing that's been happening is just so insane.

* And eh, that's it. It looks like Adobe is pulling private images from the computers of it's users for it's AI, but I want to wait and see a bit, see if they comment, etc, before rambling on why that sucks.

Ugh, I hadn't even heard about this project being cancelled. I'm so sorry for all the people who worked on it.

I realize it comes down to it being a tax writeoff, but the fact that it's in any way viable (much less desirable!) for them to take a completed project and refuse to air it at all is a sign that something is just deeply fucked.

Oh yikes, pulling private images for AI training is super shady. I wonder what will come of that.

Wrapping a project and then having the network shelve it is so insane. That doesn't happen without very deep mismanagement.

That is just... batshit stupid. Completing a project and then just... not releasing it is such a sign of something being deeply fucked up.
