Testing out some new workflows and since I can’t actually grow a decent mustache, I decided to channel my inner Ted Lasso and make one with #photoshop and #aftereffects. Used Lockdown for the track and build a mesh. Not perfect, but a fun test that had me laughing the whole time.

@MelissaM20225 I think if they are spotted at an airport/airline (like lax) the fans can figure out which flight they are likely on and know when they will arrive if they know they have an event soon someplace.

@sciencegirl Fake but super well done. instagram.com/p/DTG5S--knCp/

@venturetwins That’s not even the main account. Or maybe someone is copying this account. But this one already has over 2.5 million followers.

@ABAOProductions Things are gonna get crazy for sure. I agree this is a well done example of what is possible. I don't think we are going to replace actors (I hope), but there are a lot of things that will be done with AI for sure going forward.

@PrunaAI @Alibaba_Qwen @replicate Great work! It’s much faster. Would love to be able to set to the higher resolutions. It’s pretty limited at the current output sizes.

Qwen Layered from @Alibaba_Qwen is now 15× faster at generating layered images ⚡
We compressed the model and deployed it on @replicate, cutting generation time from 125s to just 8s for a 4-layer image.
Layered generation is now fast enough for real production use.
Try it live on Replicate: replicate.com/qwen/qwen-imag…

@deifosv @PrunaAI @Alibaba_Qwen @replicate it's 0.03 plus 0.01 per layer. So an image with 5 layers would be 8cents
English

@PrunaAI @Alibaba_Qwen @replicate how is the billing for this, it says 0.03 per run and 0.001 per output image, so an image with 5 layers is 0.03 + 0.005?

Our daughter @mia_tretta was shot and survived a shooting in high school. Right now she’s locked down in her room at @BrownUniversity because of another shooting . This is not ok. If you value guns over children…you are no friend of mine. Fuck your guns.

@jrfarr @michal_majka @lemonsqueezy @stripe I am also waiting days to hope to hear anything from @lemonsqueezy support. (as I have emailed you about several times in the past) If we migrate, does Stripe have the affiliate system support?

@michal_majka @lemonsqueezy @stripe Hey Michael, sorry to hear about LS support. :(
To answer your question, yes, we have been inviting users onto Managed Payments.
Automated migrations are quite ready but happy to work through this together.
Did you sign up here? docs.stripe.com/payments/manag…

There’s this idea that people who have been in the creative industry are threatened by AI and are defensively gatekeeping whenever they criticize it. I’ve personally made a career out of doing the exact opposite - teaching creative people how to harness that drive and turn it into a career, and I still have strong feelings about AI. Almost all of my negative ones have nothing to do with the technology of AI and almost everything to do with the general culture of AI users.
I have never heard a 3D artist belittle traditional hand animators. If anything, there is an immense respect and awe for what came before. And most 3D artists are over the moon when Studio Ghibli releases something new, for example. Digital artists are deeply inspired by traditional art and techniques. And most 3D artists would acknowledge that almost all attempts to simulate 2D animation with 3D have fallen short of the goal.
To us, the tools are a means to an end - and that end is creating something audiences can connect with emotionally.
With so much of AI culture though, it’s a push to invalidate what came before, and to pretend that what is currently being generated with AI is of the same caliber as traditional or 3D animation created by the hands of a skilled artist. It’s essentially an attempt at gaslighting to sell a technology.
Often, to the AI crowd, the tools are a means to a very different end - status - acceptance as an "artist." And you can tell because when you critique the result and process, they respond that you just don't understand or that you feel threatened by the tech - and that the industry is cooked. There is no looking at the work and acknowledging that, yeah, this is not actually as good as what traditional artists produce yet.
I’m not saying that all AI artists are like this, but the overwhelmingly loud voices are exactly like this.
The truth is that there is no future that does not have AI in the commercial side of the artistic process. BUT - AI won’t suddenly replace traditional methods. It will slowly be integrated into existing workflows and replace tools. And anyone who thinks they can skip to the head of some imaginary line by just focusing on AI and ignoring the current professional creative/artistic process is kidding themselves.
So to sum it up I am neutral about AI. It's a tool. I use it when it makes sense - and I ignore they hype and culture because so much of it is toxic.
