I was hyped for a sequel to Tron Legacy, but instead we got a nostalgia-bait movie from a different director starring Jared Leto. I was also interested in a He-Man movie, but instead we get a nostalgia-bait movie with Jared Leto in it. Can they stop hiring Jared Leto already?

Grok is so much worse than you think.

Merry Christmas everyone, and happy holidays! I hope you're all having a fantastic time with family or friends, or at the very least just having a good day.

Genuinely a really interesting video. I love how much Freddie cares about the history and artistry behind something as simple as a takeout menu, and all of the people connected to it. This is the reason art is made 🥹 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofkd...

Yoglabs is back and Sips is making YouTube videos again. Nature is healing.

Is there an anti-aliasing method that utilizes some kind of "AI" to target sharp edges based on their relative angle to the camera and generate fake multisampling? TAA is blurry and smeary, DLSS is the nuclear option and FXAA barely does anything. This would be one of the few good uses of AI.

As someone who grew up listening to mainly electronic music, in the car or through earbuds on a coby thumb-drive mp3 player, I take headphone recommendation with a grain of salt because I usually don't like open back, or lots of bass. I like the music to sound like it's beamed directly into my brain

The White House family theater. Converted in 1942 from what was originally a cloakroom when the east wing was built in 1902. Over 123 years old, gone now.

Hot take: seeing a movie in Imax is a worse experience most of the time than just seeing it in one of those dolby deluxe laser screenings. The few times I've opted for Imax I didn't like it as much.

To anyone protesting today, please stay safe, bring some snacks and don't be intimidated. Take care of each other 🤍

I get the feeling the mandalorian and grogu movie is an attempt at stitching an unfinished season 4 into a film. A lot of the CGI in the trailer looks unfinished, and the logo looks like it was Photoshopped at the last minute.

Me: Can I have one of those blue milkshakes that symbolizes Grimace’s blood? McDonalds Cashier: (offended) We believe every beverage symbolizes Grimace’s blood

Not just killing side-loading, they're also reportedly developing new android updates closed-source. A completely google controlled OS primed for censorship and data harvesting free from the scrutiny of open source devs who can see what they're up to.

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

In several years I've still yet to find an alternative to Substance Painter for hand painting 3D models. I tried armor paint and it's awful for hand painting and has a very clunky workflow. All of the alternatives focus on material creation and procedural generation.

What are some shows who's writing does NOT deserve the talent of one or more of their cast? I'll go first, The Blacklist did not deserve James Spader at all.

Had a great birthday yesterday with my friends! Went out for some Japanese food and saw fantastic four which I was pleasantly surprised by. Hope everyone else had a pleasant Tuesday 😁

If New Donkians evolved from Kongs, then why are there still Kongs, huh?

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

The mighty have fallen. Genuinely why, though? He has a massive catalogue of music he produced himself, and it's royalty free, so he doesn't make any money from doing this. What is the incentive to make slop music for no money and no acclaim?

I used to be excited every time I saw a game was running in UE4, because I associated that with visual fidelity and quality. Now I feel myself avoiding UE5 games because they all run like dog water. It's such a shame.

I loved how the CW DC shows would introduce characters like "This is Gleep Snottlor, I bet you're wondering who that is" and then like five seasons later reveal their middle name is "Glup" and their mother's maiden name is "Shitto" and we'd all lose our minds.

Just saw Superman and it was pretty great. Unapologetically comic booky, Superman was a big endearing blue cornball, and Mr. Terriffic spent every frame he was on screen aura farming.

The plot thickens! Senator Blackburn yanks her support for the AI regulation moratorium! Tomorrow call your Senators to strike this terrible moratorium off the bill. It’s on life support and we can make this happen if we go for it!

Okay, hear me out. Instead of live action remakes, we make big budget videogames alongside a theatrical re-release/remaster of the original film. How To Train Your Dragon open world game. Lilo and Stitch Pokemon-like where you recover experiments and take pictures around Hawaii.

Elio was a lot of fun. Classic Disney style story but heavily inspired by 80s and 90s sci-fi. Flight of the Navigator meets Last Starfighter meets Lilo & Stitch. With tons of classic alien movie references. Shame it's performing so poorly because its the best movie Pixar has put out in years.

Lol, I was watching this Variety video with Alan Tudyk, and for his role in Ice Age they accidentally used a line, and subsequently showed a clip of Diedrich Bader's character instead. I wonder if @diedrichbader.bsky.social has seen this. youtu.be/frUaYuOVI6Y?...

I gotta say, even though I'm not an Apple person, the new liquid glass UI is the most visually and technically impressive UI I've ever seen. The way it morphs together seems like they've built the entire interface out of SDFs, and the glass shader is gorgeous. It's very 3D and dimensional.

Simpleflips is doing another marathon stream with the giant glitterbomb he has to defuse every hour. Go wish him luck and put Fs in chat for his REM sleep!

I didn't get much sleep last night, and it's really showing because I like to sit in my sound booth for quiet sometimes, and I just noticed its light went out and said out loud "my closet is out of battery"

Someone make it make sense. Every time I download a file from google drive at the luxurious speed of 2Mbps on my 900+Mbps internet, my entire connection to everything else takes a dive and I can't use the internet for anything until it's done downloading. Why is Google the WORST download provider?

The House just advanced §43201 (Sub. C, Title IV), AKA the 10 year ban on state AI laws: thehill.com/homenews/hou... It's now time to reach out to your Senators! Wondering how? See: 5calls.org/issue/ai-reg... Or feel free to use the card below.

Anyone on here know Autodesk Fusion? I want to scale something to exact dimensions, and given that this is a CAD software I thought that would be easy, but I'm being told by every tutorial to scale it by a percentage instead of just entering the dimensions I want. What kinda nonsense is that?

Happy Easter!! 🐣 I hope you all spend some time with loved ones and eat some candy today :)

Why does it sound so creepy 😭 I hate AI so much...

hello idog !✨🎵 #lowpoly

The Easter egg decorating to deviled egg pipeline should be talked about more
