Deadpool presentssss… Arena Grande!
A totally serious, absolutely normal celebration of April POOL's Day.
Queue up, cause chaos, and enjoy the nonsense while it lasts.

Reacher is a wonderful TV show that asks its audience to ponder how many situations they can think of in which a bunch of skinny dumb fucks think they can beat up what appears to be the human personification of the Ford F-350 SuperDuty

This would’ve been devastating to half the people I knew in 2009

@Glenn_Jones_ It was a pleasure to work with you for the last year and a half. Looking forward to seeing what you build.

This was my last week at Second Dinner. I loved working on Marvel Snap, and learned so much! Thank you to my peers and our players.
Next week, I’ll join Fanatics Collectibles as Sr. Director of Game Design. I’m excited to meet more of the team and start building some games!

@zdch @hamandcheese Porn was viewed at 60 seconds per frame instead of 60 frames per second, but a similar level of unhinged chatters

@hamandcheese I was fixing to say: people who think the AOL days were, uh, safe for kids need to learn a thing or two about how said kids were using the internet.
English
The very notion of "kids online safety" has always confused me. I've been online since 1999. The internet has only gotten "safer" since, given the rise of big platform, content moderation, security features, etc. If anything the internet is *too* safe now.

@jfwong The real inflection point is when people realize that you are not limited by trying to mimic traditional filmmaking. Leaning into hallucinations or the fact you can do things that would be physically impossible or cost prohibitive traditionally. The discovery phase will be cool.
English
@samstod yeah- i think we’re about maybe a year out from where people genuinely won’t be able to tell the difference unless they really look into it, and we’re going to see an absolute explosion of content across various mediums.
English
Yeah… now the influx is really gonna begin.

@jfwong Oh for sure, but we're also going to see really cool stuff from small independent filmmakers. The same way that digital cameras, then iPhones, dramatically increased the number of people who could film their own movies, this has the opportunity to do that w/ more epic stories
English
@samstod Every major studio is already testing pipelines to integrate it- there’s a lot of efficiency to be created here when it comes to backdrops, large crowd scenes, rotoscoping, etc

I have been feeling this coming on for a while now, but this puts it pretty clearly for those who aren’t quite as caught up on the fast advancement of AI and how it’s going to impact people’s jobs.

@Noahpinion I have no doubt that the majority of people fighting for this have the best of intentions, but bureaucracy destoys all good intentions. The second it becomes a defacto treatments option for expensive alternatives, systems will figure out how to push it on people.
English
@Noahpinion Once you add a tool into the tool belt of a bureaucracy, you can’t be surprised when it gets used. If you are struggling with chronic health issues or mental health, and see assisted dying literature / are given it as an option time and time again….a lot of people will use it
English
I'm starting to realize how rich societies are going to deal with severe population aging, and I don't like it.

"In 2025 Delaware and Illinois approved assisted-dying laws. By the end of the year more than 30% of Americans will live in states where doctors can prescribe a fatal medication to terminally ill patients." The arc of history still bends toward justice. economist.com/united-states/…

@KnowingBetterYT Look, fully autonomous vehicles are not there yet, but I’d take them over every 92 year old driver on the road.

She hit someone BEFORE plowing into the store, was not injured, and isn't facing charges.
This going to turn me into the fucking Joker.

Newly released dashcam video shows the shocking moment a 92-year-old driver slammed into a Westwood grocery store, killing two employees and a customer and injuring others inside the bakery after striking a bicyclist about a block away, authorities said. Full Story: ktla.com/news/local-new…

Ladders and mirrors also don't work in actual video games, so nothing out of the ordinary here.
Utah teapot 🫖@SkyeSharkie
doing some more testing, ladders don't seem to work, the system started the scene without control, having her climb the ladder and did an interesting sort of side climb at the top but was unable to provide any control on actually using the ladder, additionally, transparent clothing collapses into photogrammetry-like solid forms, this definitely looks like more evidence of something beyond pure video gen, to me

@Glenn_Jones_ My expectations were low and this was way worse than I had imagined.
