"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

I think a lot of the discussion around AI isn't specific enough or informed enough, and that's why this piece from @edmondtran.bsky.social is so useful and important. These are actual concept artists spelling out in clear, unambiguous terms why Gen-AI is not only unhelpful, it's a nuisance.

A bit on the nose

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane? Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

Right now Sinn Féin are the biggest barrier to a future free from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael ideology. When the lead opposition party are dropping the ball this badly they have some ownership of the current state of affairs. #spéirgorm

This would be very disappointing if Kate Dolan doesn't get her shot at a mainstream franchise movie.

Me starting Control Resonant

i’m worried this video is going to ruin my life

"AI will replace the need to hire artists" "AI will do the boring tasks of artists, freeing them to focus on the important stuff" "AI can quickly make the placeholders that artists will replace later" "AI will create refs so artists don't have to research" Just keeps getting walked back.

it's a lot easier to understand the visceral hate for The Last Jedi when you understand the average adult star wars fan needs things like this when engaging with art

Just astounding unforced error from a studio that had accumulated as much good will as Larian.

Imagine proudly using generative AI in a time when half the industry is out of work

Video games can just look like this.

Ring your TDs today. Apparently the Tally ho crowd have been flat out contacting TDs the last few days

another day making control 2. everyone keeps asking me if they can kiss ahti. buddy, they won't even let ME kiss him.

The year is 2026. There are eight games with the nickname, Concord 2.

the faux-AI evangelists see the artistic process as a race to get to a finished product, instead of something valuable in itself. the process is where you develop those skills you don't have yet, it cannot be skipped, it is where the art happens

For what died the sons of Róisín?

"I couldn't imagine trying to figure things out for myself anymore." That's the endgame of most technology of the last 20 years.

What a horrifying weekend of news. Too much.

Every metric shows that X is not just unpopular but largely considered lame by anyone younger than 30. X tries to counter this by saying it’s still the best megaphone for outlets but anyone who tracks clickthrough traffic also knows this isn’t true.

Had a fun experience today where I was out at lunch and the wait staff sang happy birthday to me while both of us, petrified, look on in horror as we did not tell the restaurant at any point that we were celebrating my birthday so uhhhhhhh new fear unlocked.

Watched this tonight and it is good. youtu.be/klGRM4Qs-gk?...

We're doing it.

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.

I do not want to share a world with self-driving cars.

i will never let this die. i will never let him forget where he came from

A whole lot of not thinking things through with this policy. Pretty much assumes everyone is a middle-upper class white, straight teenager with no issues living in a city www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Home office facelift nearing completion.

The company publishing the AI ad and then pulling the AI ad after backlash is not a story about how feedback will discourage companies from using it, but that if you're clever you can keep your brand in the news for two weeks while everyone complains about your AI ad.

no idea

Right-wing lawmakers in Brazil were voting past midnight to cut down the punishment for Bolsonaro & others involved in 2023's coup attempt A fight broke up in Congress and Meta simply shadow banned left-wing profiles on IG - including Brazil's president - so the right can dominate the conversation💀

Gareth Sheridan happily posting photos of himself & Russell Brand, a man charged with multiple counts of sexual assault, as well as with other far right grifters.This guy fits in, a total grifter too,the presidential run was just about brand & name recognition… & Kerry county council fell for it! 🤬🤬

it's 2025 and the gangly guy who appeared on a few seasons of The Office is now our only mirror to society

"I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT." I can and did? AI evangelists play this game where they'll suggest a task is so impossible without AI except people do it all the time and no one considers AI the antidote to the problem.

I love how Capcom was like “noooo we won’t confirm or deny if Leon is in the game haha” and then his GIANT HEAD is in the key art.

Everyone involved im the production and publication of this video needs to either resign or be fired, up to and including the minister. Enough is enough.

this map for Disco Elysium Final cut is i believe the most time consuming jobs i've done was super fun

Offering a product, making it worse, then making you pay to make it better again is a business model you can see everywhere in everything we use.

"I'm neither left nor right" type guy. Well he is certainly thick

People say Bluesky doesn't match the twitter experience but this is the second weird loser who has wandered into my mentions in a week.

Worst city on earth.

We are so cooked as a society.
