This animation is so sweet 🥹❤️

Escape from Butcher Bay’s menu cube is an impressive technical flex with clear roots in the European demoscene aesthetic (2004)

@timsoret @BenSaul @gmnzgerard @grok In Victorian era already, the English mathematician and writter Ada Lovelace has made a leap forward into computing theoretical usage far before anyone else and a void of 100 years went by stagnating before anyone else worked seriously upon her ideas.

What are you arguing? It's precisely because OpenAI had GPT-1 that they could develop GPT-2 and then GPT-3. The broken toy versions were promising enough to attract talents & funding. There were precursors to transformers as early as 1991! So even if compute & data scale are crucial to demonstrate practicality, the math itself wasn't hardware-dependent and could have theoretically emerged sooner if researchers connected the dots earlier. Perhaps even in the 1990s or 2000s with a minimal slow running version that would show a promising path to invest money, talent & time, accelerating the timeline. @grok, fact-check me.

The revolution we’re going through is just 200 lines of code. That’s it. That could have been found 20 years earlier.

@timsoret Oh fair, didn't thoughts of these implications.

@AdrienSoret I wasn't thinking of it for culture. But for healthcare (cancer detection for example), military, cooking, manufacturing, chemistry, etc.

2017. I still think this is an important angle to consider.

Just learned that Drew Struzan can no longer paint anymore, as his Alzheimer's has progressed. What an incredible legacy that captured every generation...

Preview of "Scavengers Reign" Season 2. Unfortunately, this new season has not yet been greenlighted. So the creators of the show & Green Street studio produced this concept trailer in-house. Full video >> catsuka.com/news/2024-11-0… cc @josephbennett00 @charleshuettner

I've just been introduced to the work of Peter Trusler —paleo-reconstruction and biological artist. You guys...

@timsoret Damn, this is absolutely stunning.

This is what I want from any engine. Many, many, many movable, flickering, dynamic lights.

You HAVE to watch the latest short by @Mrdodobird. It's so visually fertile, layered, inhabited.

#openingceremony France's display of cultural decay is truly disheartnening, absolutely embarassing.

The melancholic beauty of forgotten tech.

Grounded II: Making The Last of Us Part II is now live on YouTube, and will be available directly through #TLOU2Remastered via a downloadable patch coming today! Watch now: bit.ly/49eI5MU

The reason why I am independent and advocate a life-long career is because for me, "creating things" is no longer a job. That's why there is no retirement. Creating things is living. One more thing. In the game industry, there are very few people who have succeeded in becoming independent from a major game production studio, whether in Japan or abroad. Even eight years ago, when I started my own company, I was opposed by everyone, including my peers, colleagues, and relatives, who said, "It will never work!”. They said it was impossible without the financial and organizational strength of a company. However, someone must prove that that is an old-fashioned way of thinking. Young creators must be given freedom of choice. This is one of the reasons why I continue to "create things”.

@SebMcKinnon @HattersonFord Initial intent was to portray Aminatou in her teen years, and yes definitely loved the idea of delving in Jamuura, Zhalfir or any new afro fantasy plane, but i am not as hyped nowaday though since Wotc turned into a mere shadow of its former self imo.

@AdrienSoret @HattersonFord hey this is cool! Looks like her older sister! haha - Would love to develop more of Aminatou's home plane. Lots of potential for fresh, interesting ideas to flourish!

Aminatou 🩷 A design I'm most proud of! #digitalpainting

@NickyLarson101 @timsoret @khaledbouya And it was a deliberate, Hamas strive to make a global martyrdom of Gaza by placing terrorist intel & military assets inside of Mosques, hopitals & schools to rally Islam and western world alike against Israel. They are using their own people as expandable political shield.
