The cult of tech capitalism has ruined any exciting tech innovations indefinitely. Thanks, Daddy Elon and co

Yeah but you would really need ranked choice voting to be a national thing to give 3rd parties a shot without splitting up an opposition vote to the far right candidates.

That's a very fair point. If the use case is what you describe, and it's purely for self use, it's great. The problem becomes when it's capitalized so yeah. Art should not be treated as capital. Hard agree.

I knowww. Dub cast has also been announced.

Yeah it's a tool really. The real issue I see is if it replaces artists and threatens their livelihood.

I still think the system can work but it needs a huge overhaul

Honestly he's just cynical. I really can't blame him with how bad things have gotten. Textbook conservative is desiring these outcomes. He's just accepting that there's not very much we can do to change them. You know even if the Democrats strengthen their majority in Congress, all of the MAGA losers will pull a Trump and say the elections are rigged (unless they win of course). Shit is very bleak. I do have hope that we can get through it, but it won't be easy.

We finished season 6 of Brooklyn Nine Nine which is being taken off of Hulu today. Going to see if we can get a promo for Peacock since we have 3 seasons left.

New PV dropped

This is very interesting. You could use this to potentially make any expression for a specific character model or style. It could revolutionize animation.

In similar boat, thanks for speaking your piece.

Considering how much obscene amounts of money they rake in, this comes as no surprise.

It's 30 bucks on Steam and well worth the price.

Nice mini-thread about what AI art should be for VS what it is being used for instead

Here's the runner up. You can see the deliberate work in it.

I really don't understand how it won. It looks like random gibberish all over the place. Nothing looks deliberate. Like the competition must have been really garbage if that won.

I found it. It looks terrible if you take a close look at it. Artifacts and garbage all over the place. https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvmvqm/an-ai-generated-artwork-won-first-place-at-a-state-fair-fine-arts-competition-and-artists-are-pissed?utm_content=bufferc7441&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_campaign=buffer

I really doubt it. AI art looks way too uncanny valley to compete with human art. We're not quite there yet.

https://openai.com/blog/dall-e-introducing-outpainting/ So the idea here is that it takes an existing painting and tries to compose a larger painting around it. The problem is the AI is constructing the rest of the composition based on the original and it's existing input, so you have a lot less deliberate actions so everything around the painting looks random as hell. This does a great job if anything showing the limitations of AI art right now.

Interesting article

And Capital Records has withdrawn that contract.

WB DELETED THE MOVIE FILES

Normally a streaming service makes a variety of content with new and existing IPs so it can compete with other streaming platforms. Right now, the priority is moreso not paying taxes and residuals. So smart. So big brain.
