AI slop is taking over games in a way that makes it not even look like a fucking video game anymore. What an insult to modelers, animators, lighters and ALL devs. Genuinely what the fuck

🇨🇦 Scott Pilgrim EX is out! I worked one year on it, animating a bunch of stuff. Congrats to the team, it looks amazing! 🥰 ➡️ scottpilgrimex.com

normalize humans replacing ai jobs!

One thing we know about the mass tech layoffs attributed to "AI" is that they follow a trend of mass tech layoffs that firms were formerly forced to admit were the result of their businesses contracting sharply after the lockdowns ended, when users didn't need nearly so many cloud services. By blaming the continuing layoffs on "AI," companies whose business continues to contract can tell investors that they are on the bleeding edge, not the contracting tail. In related news: yesterday, Block announced it was firing half its engineers to make a "big bet on AI." Block used to be called "Square" and it had a very successful business as a payment processor. It changed its name to Block when it went all in on crypto. Block's mass "AI" layoffs coincide with a *50%* drop in Bitcoin, with concomitant collapses in other cryptos. Crypto market watchers warn that the industry is so overleveraged that this could lead to total collapse. And yet, we're told that Block's - a company that is totally exposed to crypto volatility and would face a mass selloff by investors (and possibly a run) if news got out that it was in danger - undertook mass layoffs to "make a big bet on AI" (and not to paper over the terrifying prospects for its crypto-exposed business with high-gloss tales about being on the cutting edge of the Next Big Thing).

OpenAI is not going to create a super intelligent god on earth, it's going to basically make a new version of Google, another fucking advertising platform, and they're going to destroy the internet and human culture and cause an epidemic in psychosis in order to do so.

See, the problem is that those controlling the world, our economy, the investors and the leaders, are all completely heartless, soulless, demonic fucking bastards who have lost every inch of their humanity. They live and die for share price increases. Empty, soulless husks.

Generative AI needs to be removed from all platforms

I am tired of the West framing Muslim men & men of color in general as these savage, r*pey barbarians while positioning white men as “superiorly civilized”, when the Epstein files clearly show it is high profile white men orchestrating the most horrific acts against children — which is very much the r*pey legacy white supremacy & colonialism has been known for throughout history.

@howieeday @Thetatron bless you for making this all yourself, love to see the effort and dedication!

@Thetatron Sorry, nope! Bespoke models and animation in 3dsMAX, rendered in VRay.

Tons of more details, polish, animation, fixes, and lighting work on this Star Trek shot, I'm now really happy with it! Movin on to the next. :D

Y’all know I’m Canada down

@genuinezebratom the books have literal dragons and undead liches running around, i'm confused as to why someone would expect a timeline to be "realistic" in the first place.

That timeline isnt real. Its fake. Its made up, in universe.

Really wish people would read the books instead of saying stupid shit

It took about two months to create this. Thank you for taking a second to like and share. Thank you.

The Toronto Police Association has submitted a letter to the Inspector General of Policing of Ontario expressing serious concern over the recently announced Province-Wide Inspection on Police Integrity and Anti-Corruption Practices.   While examining any potential organizational shortcomings in light of Project South is important, we strongly emphasize that the few allegations do not reflect the character, professionalism, or conduct of our more than 8,500 members. We will, therefore, not allow them to be unfairly treated as collateral damage through an overly broad review.   Our official position and specific requests are outlined in the attached correspondence.
