No, and this is upsetting. I like her work a lot. But there is no ethical use of this technology and in an industry where people are desperate for work, taking work away from animators is unjustifiable.

i do love frank zappa, but, oh boy! he’d be all about AI

every single word this guy says is nonsense www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzSD...

me: mom, what was I like as a little girl? my mom (completely fucking braindead): hey alexa describe a human kid or something

if you're at the top of your field and you don't even want to try anymore, then get out of the way and let someone else take the wheel for a change. jesus christ.

An AI narrated audiobook will never reach the quality of a book narrated by the right voice talent. The AI can't read through a paragraph, see something that causes the reaction the author wanted, and react to it, it will just make a voice say the words.

voting accomplished. remember san francisco, vote YES on prop H and prop 40, and NO on prop 41 and prop 42!

"oh no! hitler's retreat!!" - some people, apparently

two. i've shaken hands with and briefly spoken to elton john. elton john has met barack obama.

Damn that's wild. Soldiers trying to kill everybody got killed. Crazy shit. RIP to them.

The looting of the country by Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, the Trump sons, and their orbit of aides and friends is directly tied to *your* inability to afford housing, health care, child care, and more. It's their illegal wealth versus our ability to live.

some stupid youtube ad was like, "imagine if da vinci had..." and i'm pretty sure da vinci had his own imagination, and that was more than enough

STOP USING STARLINK

san francisco, be sure to vote YES on prop H, and, california, make sure you vote YES on prop 40, and NO on BOTH props 41 and 42

EA Sports.... *thud sound* it's in the shutting down of "rival" game developers!

counterpoint: this is never the case

Artists don't need to be miserable, depressed people to be great. That is a toxic myth. But art does need to be miserable and painful and scary at points to be good. There's no shortcut.

the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

@andylevy.net criterion is holding a flash sale. everything half off

wow trump was right they are paying protesters to show up

"elon musk pledged" lmao, say no more!

Time to brush off an old classic

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

remember that "BIDEN IS SENILE" was a stop the presses, every day story and they just let this shit go like its normal

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Silly to treat Digger, of all movies, as the great test case. the last chance for audiences to prove that they will embrace an original movie not based on existing IP. I guess Sinners and Weapons and Marty Supreme and Obsession never happened. It's fine for a movie to be a divisive flop. It happens!

lol, lmao

This is because he agrees with Trump on Omar because she is Muslim and rightfully criticizes the genocidal warmongers in Israel.

Anyway I got a slew of Google alerts about this supposed announcement but none of the writeups adequately capture his absurd yammering or the fact that what Trump is describing — firefighters getting shot on ladders — is not a thing that is happening anywhere outside his addled brain).

rewatching the 13th warrior. a classic. sure, you wouldn’t cast antonio banderes as an arab, today, but c’mon. you just want to next few minutes well

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

lmao seahawks, what are you doing!?

a prop 40 🧵 ⤵️

Polling looks positive for Prop 40. it’s looks bad for Prop 42. Tell your CA family & friends that you vote YES on 40 and NO on 42 (which would undo 40). Deliberately confusing as so many CA props are meant to be. When in doubt just ask what Robin Hood would do. ALWAYS take rich ppl’s money.
