At LAX - pushing back from the gate some dumbass was taxiing behind us that wasn’t supposed to and our tow vehicle slammed on the brakes so we wouldn’t hit them, breaking the tow bar. It was loud! Now back to the gate to make sure the landing gear is ok

@tvaziri.com curious if you’ve seen this youtu.be/yN0H_WfWOp4?...

The Jewish Journal (a publication I used to advertise in) has just published a cover article praising Charlie Kirk for keeping the sabbath and encourages buying his book. I’m sorry but what the actual fuck jewishjournal.com/cover_story/...

AMC says they will not be screening an AI short film after online uproar A third-party ad programmer had planned to show it in ~30% of their theaters (via THR)

Done by Italian street artist Laika.

I have never seen Shark Tale, and I never will.

Got a basic path tracer up and running in TouchDesigner

Love this 1994 photo of the late great CHRIS FARLEY - who was born 62yrs ago today. (📷 by Chris Buck)

💚😂

I approve of this use of AI youtu.be/jq55Z8PM9G4?...

Just saw this today. It was… well it was a movie.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

I was working out how to use bulletsolver in TouchDesigner and gave myself the challenge of making a ball labyrinth game I had as a kid. Still need to figure out how to punch holes in the sim but got the MIDI controls and camera switching working, as well as auto tracking the ball - no AI

I’m *really* trying to get on the AI bandwagon but goddamn LLMs are so fucking dumb. I agree with Yann LeCun; we’re wasting our time with LLMs - it’s a dead end. It’s not the answer nor will it replace everyone’s jobs. I’ve been using it heavily and I spend more time correcting it than anything

I made a hologram shader in GLSL in TouchDesigner - 256 samples and still 60fps on my old iMac!

New project: recreating the slitscan Stargate sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey using the original artwork from the 1968 film and TouchDesigner. No images exist of the original transparencies so I took a tiny blurry JPG and upscaled and enhanced it with ChatGPT and Photoshop youtu.be/RGDJn-zJ4o4?...

Just so you know, the red line is when they start arresting journalists

I’ve been teaching myself TouchDesigner and recently learned how to use my MIDI controller with it. I used ChatGPT to create lighting passes for a test scene - check it out here youtu.be/Pi_z4yRn-mk?...

just choked on my beverage

Can you really say a director is a good director if they’ve only directed one film that was good and every subsequent film is a total dud?

Time to rewatch Alex Garland’s Civil War movie. For reference. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Every VFX artist should download Touch Designer and play with it. It’s mindblowing. youtu.be/12J2XH2UxDc?...

In (much better) alternate universe

I’d love to know how these companies expect to earn trillions of dollars from AI so they can start paying off this debt. It’s a house of cards.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

This IS the best one yet...

This should probably be talked about a bit more www.npr.org/2026/01/13/n...

Paul Thomas Anderson’s ragtag revolutionary saga “One Battle After Another” took top honors at the 83rd Golden Globes in the comedy category, while Chloe Zhao's Shakespeare drama “Hamnet” upset “Sinners” to win best film, drama.

Chad the Bird is the Sage we need in these trying times. I highly recommend going through all his videos youtu.be/wlStvskhk6Q?...

This comment from the Auschwitz Maemorial FB page is VERY important to read today in America.

Just watched a screening of Avatar Fire and Ash and there was a panel discussion afterward where Cameron said that he respects artists and generative AI cannot create anything new. This was encouraging but I’m remaining somewhat skeptical

Please support Michael de Adder, who does great work:

AI is useful for some things

Posting AI recreations of other artists’ work and adding insult to injury by not crediting the original artist serves no purpose than rage bait. What kind of artist does that?

Uneducated voters will always be a greater danger to this country than immigrants.
