I'm of similar mind. Big part of art is that it's an expression of a skill. It's not just about the end product - what makes art impressive are the (dozens of) thousands of hours a person dedicated to honing their skill. You take that away and the end result is a lot more hollow.

One of the most disappointing things for me personally with the advent of AI is that it has damaged my ability to be impressed with software. Whether it be open-source projects, games, mods, sites, etc. I can admire the skill involved to develop something, but not if it's a machine doing it.

What is the point of an MMORPG where you're forced to play a boring human? (No, I don't care that they're "devas" or whatever. Angel wings on a human is still a human aesthetic.)

We understand that AI generated content is a big topic in the current VR landscape. The Resonite team has been working on an AI disclosure policy and tools to ensure that you can both filter AI generated content, and properly tag content as such. Thank you for being patient with us!

Why are regular human characters just so boring. I just... I just don't care. Take any single player narrative and swap the mc with a robot or something and suddenly I care. That's probably not a good sign of my ability to relate to humanity.

#Avali "You sure our radiation shield will hold?" "She's had worse... As long as we don't linger around too long we'll be fine!" "Okay... It's not often we find ourselves so close to an O-type, let's get what we need and get out of here." "...It's gorgeous out there, isn't it." "Yeah... It is."

So... @resonite.com is getting screen sharing soon! :3 And yes, it's this easy to setup. And yes, you can stream multiple monitors. Still needs some polish, but it works! (the bottom left corner of the video is my other laptop connected over network btw) #Resonite #gamedev #socialVR

Lastly, I want to leave you with this synopsis of the ending of the show. Seeing all these particles, streaking across the sky as connections around us are made and formed, growing complex and intertwined, before slowly fading as we see the final connections being made to the Prism servers.

Worlds Beyond My piece created for the Furality Ultra art gallery โ€“ a tribute to the joy of gaming from times past to the present, and finding a place in our world for all kinds of experiences. Thank you to all the friends I have made in these spaces for bringing colour to my life ๐ŸŒˆ #furry #furryart

never let anyone talk you out of spending $35 on VRChat avatars, that $120 will be the greatest $550 you ever spend in your life

So I may or may not have taken some inspiration from @gneiss.name 's latest video and decided to make a realtime version...... Uses a internal lookup texture with a limited sample set across the video, then a raymarched cell shader to render the OKLab area. More color spaces soon!

I was curious what a videoโ€™s color would look like animated frame by frame in a color space. So I did that, but also in Minecraft. Movie Color Animations youtu.be/7mArP3bdar4

i had a friend in a psych phd prog tell me ~15 years ago that they didn't think humans would ever create human-like artificial intelligence, because we'd create something that exploited human heuristics & biases to tell us exactly what we think we want to hear first and never move past it. good call

With the whole #HorizonWorlds shutdown, I'm really glad for our @resonite.com community supporting us and keeping us independent. It's been tough, but we've been going for years, while keeping the project focused on what we and our community care about. #Resonite #gamedev #socialVR

I made a tool that bakes NormalizedCrow's FeathersAndFur Shader into the main mesh. torvid.net/featherbake This makes it work in fallback, with other shaders like poiyomi, improves performance, and lets you export to external software like Blender!
