I have to admit seedance 2 is incredibly fun to play with.

@UltraTerm I get the idea, could be refined and explained better.

Hypothesis: There is a direct correlation between Anti-Ai sentiment and the inability to visualize things in the mind. It's common to see Anti-Ai people aggressively dismiss the idea that creating visual art is primarily about communicating an internal vision held by the artist. They will sometimes say things such as "the real art is the technical skill to create something" and that "the idea" is virtually worthless, often accusing people of being useless "ideas guys." In reality, the artist's vision is the most important and crucial part of both the creative process and the final artistic expression that others interact with. Without it, the expression devolves to nothing more than a showcase of craft and technical skill, such as a demonstration of the ability to draw straight lines, hold a paintbrush correctly, fret a chord, or operate a camera using an appropriate shutter speed. Art is about communication. It's about the artist transmitting their internal vision, audiation, and emotions to others via some medium. Anyone who does not understand that does not understand what art is. Expressions of craft and technical skill alone are not artwork, they are the means by which artwork can be manifested. This reality can best be seen at the level of the director, such as Hideo Kojima; someone who directs teams of craftsmen and other artists to create a large scale multimedia art piece that's intended to primarily reflect their inner vision. In the right hands, creative Ai tools can be used to manifest an artist's vision extremely effectively, including in ways that weren't possible before the tools existed. For people that can't visualize things in the mind due to physical lack of ability, the above is a completely alien concept. It's unknown to them because the capability is missing from their nervous system. Trying to explain to them what it's like to be able to hear and see entire worlds in your mind would be similar to trying to explain colors to someone who has never seen them before. You can try, but ultimately you can't transmit the experience to them. They're not capable of expressing visual artwork from within themselves, because they have nothing internally to express. At best they can develop the technical craft of expression, which they have come to mistake as "art." So that is why they become confused (and aggressive) when they're exposed to the idea that creative Ai software is just another set of tools in an emerging craft used for artistic expression. They can't see the apple.

Let people be creative. Uncreative people can’t create anything interesting, even with all the skills and tools.

My fave @hedera event will always be Elisabeth’s 2023 @HelloFutureLive in LA. I met more retail community members there than at any other Hedera event period. To top it off @leemonbaird and @ManceHarmon were extremely accessible and friendly. I often miss her energy. 🖤✨🕯️

I really miss those old Twitter widgets in jailbroken iOS. Where you could just tweet from your notification bar without opening the app and getting attention trapped.

It's harder to make time to cast opinions now. And the older I get the less I want to argue with people that can't really understand where I'm coming from.

@Mauii_MW @ItzzHbarPaul Mi pésame, hermano. Que descanse en paz

I wish I would of had visited my grandma. Last time I saw her alive was 17 years ago. Had plans to go visit her again in a month. She lived a good life. She was strong and managed to put up with 3 husband' She took care of themuntil their last breath. She was a good women. Rest in peace abuela. ❤️

People who post again and again these images of grok tired at doing AI tasks must be so fun at parties.

I wish things could be better for all of you.

Some like all my intensity, Some don't know what to do with me, Chameleons pose all around me, Testing my authenticity.

Waking up thinking the person is still there to then realize it’s not is one of the worst things ever.

Tough days these last of the year,

@Paultalk44 Compilation of 0s and 1s that can create digital polygons with different characteristics that mimic reality

@CloudlessCloud God is a person. Blender is a .......

I don’t like the phrase “manually crafted” referring to digital works. Like, my denoiser helped me so much saved me hours. I didn’t program it. Nor the interface nor I placed each matrix for a vertex. I had a lot of help from Blender. And I love blender for helping me.

@Paultalk44 Sometimes I feel that. If I'm meant to live in the edge or border of art and blasphemy. But I try to go to church each Sunday

@CloudlessCloud Does Blender love you? Might not its "help" be a demonic seduction? 😰

I don’t like December- January everything seems stagnant
