@ImKingGinger “produced more content” how artsy of you

Every creative person I know that has embraced AI as a tool for their art has produced more content this month than all of last year. A true creative individual sees AI and feels completely empowered. They feel like the entire world has opened up to them. But a lot of self professed creative people, who have been grifting as creatives for decades, are about to be exposed as frauds who and pretenders who only know how to work within the politics of the current system. They will sit down before the greatest tool for creativity the world has ever known and not have a single idea how to use it or what story to tell. Pay attention to what is happening and who rejects the gift, and who embraces it.

@BReguided you need a beer if you’re gonna be 90 minutes late

@BReguided urgh!

If I’m going to get fined for drinking beer on a train in Germany, what am I even doing here?

@rickgude Samples from Freesound.org into Audition/ableton

Where do you get your sound fx from?

@noahbradley I get the impression you’re talking about digital solo artists rather than Ai Wei-Wei

Some artists really like learning for the sake of learning and other artists learn stuff just so they can make the art they want to make and neither type can comprehend that the other type even exists or what the fuck is wrong with them

Great news, but they did simply steal all of their training data. I don’t think adhering to the law is silicon valley doctrine

Wäre 🇩🇪 in seinem Geschäftsklima weniger risikoscheu & weniger bürokratisch (und würde Freiberufler besser unterstützt), würde es Innovation statt Nachahmung fördern.

@HeathrowAirport @calinesko Why not? Is there a mafia? Why not take some responsibility

Hi there, thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry to learn of your experience. We do not have any control over the pricing of taxi's at Heathrow. We recommend forwarding your feedback onto the company that the taxi is registered to. We are sorry that we are unable to assist further than this.

Thank you @HeathrowAirport the official taxi rank is scamming people with fix fares and no meter. £35 for a hotel transfer???

Over the past year we've helped over 100 artists update their portfolios after being laid off by giving them access to our tools free of charge. We've decided to make our Layoff Assistance Program a permanent part of our business! jangafx.com/layoff-assista… #gamedev #realtimevfx

@HLoshak R12 plus mograph

When did you guys start using C4D? R19 for me!

@janhebein Charger in the living room not bedside?

What is a good way to get rid of the phone before sleep? When my girlfriend is at my place, we play a card game or talk, but when I’m alone I spend the last few minutes on the phone before bed. I want to stop that! I want to break that habit.

@Disrupttor save it for linkedin pal

There’s a man in my office who hasn’t been promoted in 6 years. He arrives before everyone. Leaves after everyone. Knows the company’s systems better than the people who built them. When something breaks at 2am, they call him. His name is on the bottom of reports that directors present to the board. He doesn’t complain. He says he’s just “not political.” Last week, a 26-year-old joined us. MBA. Firm handshake. Calls the MD by his first name. Within 3 months, he’s already sitting in meetings my colleague has never been invited to. I watched my colleague train him. Smiled the whole time. Answered every question. Shared shortcuts it took him years to figure out. Afterwards I asked him, don’t you feel cheated? He looked at me for a long moment. “I used to. But I realized something. I’ve been loyal to a company. Not a purpose. Those are not the same thing.” He resigned two weeks later. Took everything he knew with him. Started something of his own. The MD sent a company-wide email. Called it “a great loss to the team.” Eleven years of emails. And that was the first one that mentioned his name. The system will celebrate your exit more than it ever celebrated your presence. Stop waiting to be seen. Build something that sees you if you’re not appreciated where you are.

@TvanHelsdingen @games_rozz Same same. If it wasn’t for xanax, I couldn’t freelance

@games_rozz take care man. Burnout hits hard. Tune our for a couple of months, getting out of the loop that got you into this. Took me a few years to fully get over it

Burn't out. When it hits you. It hits you.

America's first large-scale indoor vertical farm for strawberries in Richmond, Virginia. Using 30-foot towers, it produces over 4 million pounds of strawberries annually on less than an acre of land. This innovative method reduces water use by 90%, land use by 97%, and eliminates the need for pesticides. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy

Tweet of the year?

@thesnlnetwork …good idea. SNL but UK bareknuckles instead of US network-friendly

The first #SNLUK Trailer!

Yep, made with Blender. I too could not believe this was actually CG and not 2D when I first saw it. Lots going on to convincingly sell that look; the character animation is great of course, but there's also the camera angles, the smear frames, speed lines, chroma ab, and so on.

@Cyrus3v @oakley_303 Sorry to hear that.

@BReguided They’re going to need security guards to protect the fence no one wants
