Finally announcing my animated project: Powersaurians! More info about what the show and these guys are about will be revealed as time goes on, and there's A LOT I want to do with them. Art by @dbMisadventure designs by him and @zekey_s_lizard

@TheWrap "Its for kids" excuse never flies. Good kids content can be enjoyed by all ages.

#TheSuperMarioGalaxyMovie Review: 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' is for children. Nobody thinks otherwise, so if anyone was already typing “What did you expect, ‘Citizen Kane?’” then I can stop you right there. Children can enjoy slop — I should know, I grew up on dreck like 'The Care Bears Movie' and 'GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords' — but that doesn’t mean kids wouldn’t also appreciate a proper meal. Nobody complains when a kids movie is great. When a kids movie has interesting characters and an involving plot and a theme worth exploring, nobody says the makers of 'KPop Demon Hunters' screwed up and should have made it worse. We know kids like good movies. So making them bad is a choice, not a necessity." Full take: bit.ly/4sE2jda

Did you miss the premiere of 'Release the Beast?' No worries! Go watch it now! youtu.be/fGHBh76NHuI?si…

I think I know why I've been more anxious lately: my birthday's in a few days, and it's a big one. Been questioning the world, and myself, but logically, I know I'm in a good position. I'll stick to my guns and thrive with what I believe, make every moment count.

Indies will define this decade.

@pk4eva1 Ya, I know that logically. It just happened so much I felt I needed to speak up. But they're set in their ways, so talking to them accomplishes nothing. Best i can do is stand with creatives with ambition to make something great.

@Koolboyman Let's keep in mind most of the posts shared here come from a minority that simply burns money to be on top, without putting the talent or effort as real artists. Thankfully people are becoming more aware at what's slop and what's not.

I've been doing too much arguing on this app lately. Mostly with AI discourse. I need to stop, I didn't come here to make enemies, I'm just seeing those kinds of people more frequently. It's time wasting, and I have my own shit to work on.

@TrainerX493 Yeah, you're right. Maybe I should spend more time promoting people and projects I like, vs arguing questionable people. I can't stand fake and manipulative people, and it kinda broke me this week. I shouldve already known better.

@Koolboyman Replying only to things you like and avoiding talking with stuff you disagree with goes a long way for a positive mood. Doublely so if you make use of the "show less" option on tweets.

@Dexerto Good, we're finally starting to talk about this, years later.

Educational AI videos on YouTube are being accused of teaching kids dangerous behavior Some clips show children playing in traffic, and eating unsafe items

@ChadMoran @trikcode Give me an example.

@Koolboyman @trikcode This is like asking someone what good code is. Good prompts give the context required, set the constraints for the request and give the model tools to validate its work. Most engineers I see prompting are writing lazy ineffective prompts.

AI writes your code in 30 seconds. You spend 3 hours debugging what it wrote. You could have written it yourself in 45 minutes. But that would require thinking and we don't do that anymore apparently.

@ChadMoran @trikcode What are good coding prompts? Explain.

@trikcode If you’re spending 3 hours debugging you’re writing shit prompts.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/copil…

@elonmusk "Content", not quality works. Quantity over quality is all that AI promoters care about because the algorithm rewards frequency vs. time spent. There is no ambition to make anything worthwhile, just flood until the algorithm allows you to make rent.

AI content will vastly exceed all human content

@DanielHoll52755 @VoicesByCorey They dont care about the creatives they're stealing from losing their careers. So tell me, why should we care about theirs?

@VoicesByCorey Congratulations, human content creators who use AI videos will now go out of business and lose their livelihoods as well as their creative expressions.

FUCKING W FOR HUMANS!

@themoderateman9 @mattxiv Im referring to the people involved with this. While not all billionaires hoard their wealth and only seek to make more by any means necessary, its a large portion of them. Plus these guys aren't simply billionaires. They all have a net worth over $100 billion. Top 0.0000001%

@Koolboyman @mattxiv Well like with everything else some are good some are bad. Some billionaires do want to hoard wealth. Some donate to charity. Some leave it behind for family. Being a billionaire doesn’t determine your morals.

you don't hate billionaires enough

@themoderateman9 @mattxiv I know what net worth is, but do they need all that stuff that adds to their net worth? Why not sell a thing or two you could do without to make the world a better place?

@Koolboyman @mattxiv The thing is billionaires don’t have billions of cash lying around. It’s net worth not cash

@themoderateman9 @mattxiv It's less about them simply having billions of dollars, and more about them never being satisfied with what they have. They always need more money, more power over all, instead of using a fraction to solve world hunger or poverty. But they choose not to.

@mattxiv It’s funny because people who say this shit would love to be billionaires

@MorePerfectUS @WSJ Never enough money or power for billionaires. They always want more.

BREAKING: Trump will appoint Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison and Jensen Huang to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. The council will weigh in on AI policy and other issues, per @WSJ.

@SwampCapitaine @ImKingGinger Wouldn't surprise me. Sad thing is, his loor.tv is actually a great idea, but unfortunately, he had to ruin it by replacing creative work with AI.

@Koolboyman @ImKingGinger He didn't even write his post, ChatGPT did hahahahaha

Every single person who picked up an AI filmmaking tool this year and actually made something is further ahead than 99% of the people with opinions about it. You made a thing. You told a story. You learned a new tool and bent it to your will. While everybody else was arguing about whether AI is “real art,” you were in the trenches figuring out prompts and pipelines and frame rates. I don’t care what some guy on Reddit thinks about your workflow. I don’t care what a film school professor who hasn’t shipped anything in 15 years thinks about your creative process. Those people don’t build. They comment. You are literally the first generation of filmmakers who can go from idea to screen without asking anyone’s permission. No studio. No gatekeeper. No six-figure budget standing between you and your story. That has never existed before in the history of filmmaking. So keep making things. Keep shipping. Keep getting better. The people who hate what you’re doing will eventually be working for the people who didn’t stop.

You can no longer rely on AAA for reliable employment. Your position could be randomly terminated one day due to no fault of your own. It's a better idea to find employment at smaller places. Where everyone knows everyone, and the main pursuit is to simply make fun games.
