Sam Keith, one of the my favorite cartoonists of all time, died recently. his drawings weren't ashamed to look like drawings. his writing was full of empathy for the outcasts, the victimized, and their interior lives. the end of his series The Maxx broke my heart open
thank you Sam Keith

A text image of a small part of the transcript of a conversation between Ari Shapiro and David Simon (Creater of 'The Wire') on a segment on NPR during the wirter's strike of 2023: Shapiro: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had that tool to solve those thorny problems... Simon: What? Shapiro: ...Or saying... Simon: You imagine that? Shapiro: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. Simon: I don't think AI can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. Shapiro: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into AI and say, give. me 10 ideas for how to transition this. Simon: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
And if you think this is just some BS meme image, you can listen to the man himself: www.npr.org/transcripts/...

Dear God 😂😂 finally caught the whole video. I wonder if this will end up being similar to some people not even noticing motion smoothing on their TVs and for others it giving them psychic damage.

Haven't played it since it came out but that Titanfall 2 campaign still hits prettyyy hard
Let me hold your hand when I say this: we don't have to set every artsy emo indie game in the PNW or PNW-adjacent biomes. It's all starting to bleed together yknow.

How hard is it to do this? I have a stupid website that I'd love to make something like this for
Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.
Lmao
not a fan of remasters/remakes personally, but the business case is there. this is bad business and bad leadership, and once again it's video game workers paying the price for dipshit executive decisions.
Tweet from a loser that says, "I will have 30k to make a fully AI film, what’s the plan? I’m supposed to have ideas by next week. cmon guys what would you want to see? I like sci-fi but it feels to obvious for AI 🤷♂️"
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.
