i think, on a fundamental level, my biggest issue with *any* corporate LLM solution is that it's built to destroys community. It rips up everything that various communities of people have built together and repackages it all -uncredited- as a shiny, new thing.

There's always some hidden gem you don't know about in #AfterEffects! I'm looking forward to finding a few of them!

New #AfterEffects script! Random Roller allows you to randomly select layers, randomly assign layers to groups, and sort layers into a random order. 🎲 BEND CHAOS TO YOUR WILL 🎲 25% off until August 15th at @aescripts.com! aescripts.com/random-roller/

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim! Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

God, do you know how refreshing it is to see a list of design rules that basically amount to "stop worrying so much about the rules, this is a cartoon"

Fell down a rabbit hole reading about Susan Kare - the woman behind, oh, you know, most of core foundational icons and fonts in computing history - and reeling about what a massive goddamn flex her portfolio is. www.behance.net/susankare

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

For the first time in three years, my rogue summoned his familiar as something other than an owl. We were going underwater: finally, a chance for a new form! She lasted 10 minutes before my DM killed her. So, of course, I had to print the cutest, tiniest octopus I could find to guilt trip him.

I finally had a little time to take a look at #Rive… and my first project was using it to create a mockup of the #AfterEffects timeline 😅 This is an interactive tool to demonstrate the different types of #expression loops available in AE (for an upcoming Loopy documentation website).

A fantastic line-up of films playing at this little indie cinema in Berlin right now. I'd go for a triple feature here and watch all three back-to-back why not. Love all three of these films. #cinema #KinoIntimes #kino #Berlin

WB is scrapping finished feature films and shuttering historic game studios to drag their dividends up a few percentage points. $3.7M is a 10-person indie cooking for three years. Sony's Concord money could have funded a hundred of those teams, any of whom could be sitting on the next Minecraft.

About as succinct as it gets

I also got the impression that our legal systems are in no way fast enough to stem the damage they will do to our creative classes and they know this and are working as fast they can to grab as much as they can before laws catch up to their crimes. www.wired.com/story/new-do...

I haven't told anyone about this yet, so let's go: Last fall, attorney's working for a certain social media company we will call "Schmeta" reached out to me asking for help with a copyright suit specifically because I was an academic who is also an 'expert' with Blender. 🧵
