Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their AI training datasets - this bill would force them. If that sounds good, we REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! Please sign this petition in support of the bill, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

We just use broken glass in the early stages of scrambling eggs to make it more efficient, obviously the finished breakfast doesn't have any broken glass in it

3D Artists/Animators! Which version of Unreal Engine 5 would you consider to be the most stable, especially from an animation/rendering pipeline perspective?

well, the project I’ve been working on at OtherSide was canceled yesterday and I’ve been laid off along with the rest of my team. Still getting my bearings & tying up loose ends but if you know of any open 3d artist roles, please send those my way 💚

Sleeping on the dining chair as everyone else gets ready for bed.

a little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by. I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoyed taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

This really is it, this is the part that keeps me raging against the machine. Every day of my career I’m shoulder to shoulder with incredible people, pouring their skill & point of view into the work they do, making choices that amaze and delight me. Frame by frame, drawing by drawing…that’s THE job

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email [email protected] to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

“Please have 2+ years of experience with an engine we announced on Friday” really sums up the state of the games industry.

yeah man did you hear? the guy casting shadows in plato's allegory of the cave got cancelled for casting problematic shadows. yeah its really fucked up especially given that the shadows cast on the wall of the cave are basically the same thing as real things outside of the cave

Thick As Thieves is out on Steam today!! I'm extremely proud of the levels we've been able to create with this amazing small team. Check out the intro to our world for only 5 bucks!!

the fuck it will

I drew from many sources of inspiration for this piece, blending a stylized sci-fi/fantasy aesthetic with motifs I adapted from historical Armenian decorative arts (I'm part Armenian, and love all decorative arts!) Here’s some of my main sources:

www.comic-con.org/awards/eisne... Eisner time for Tigers... read my webcomic it's good I swear... .......... it's a very normal comic about gay people trying to look at sea sponges..

Desperately need people to understand that there's a war being fought against your right to interiority and when you try to simplify (even bad!) art down into digestible little content cubes, you are letting the wrong side gain ground

I told you this place is always crowded, we should’ve called for a reservation 😩

it sucks that theres still some creatives out there who only seem to take issue with gAI when its in their field, but will happily use it to replace other creative workers. Its remarkably easy to have a bit of solidarity and never use this shit. Up till 2023 it was the default state

If a violin plays in the woods and no one is around to hear it, is it playing?

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

If you haven't played Respawn's Titanfall 2 (2016) yet, your friends have probably recommended it to you... Well, this is my quarterly reminder that you need to play Titanfall 2's awesome campaign. It's still one of my favorite sci-fi experiences from recent years. So playful and imaginative.

One of the most successful things about AI is getting everyone to call it AI, which it is not. It makes these bad faith arguments really easy to make.

Last night, after an hours-long public hearing, Monterey Park became the first city in California to pass an ordinance permanently banning data centers. The city council voted unanimously to declare data centers a public nuisance, and to "prohibit all data centers within city limits." My story:
