I dug into this and it's not Generative AI. It's plug-in tools built into DaVinci Resolve to do artificial depth of field and parallaxing on images. This is stuff docs have been doing for decades and has since been more simplified with pre-built tools.

Ava DuVernay's 14th, about the 14th Amendment, uses AI to animate old photos that are in the public domain, and the filmmaker wants people to see the documentary for themselves before deciding how they feel about it. tinyurl.com/c6nj6vf7

the road to save education runs through demolishing MIT in its present form

"AI can draft an essay for you, especially if you give it a high quality prompt." Really? This is what MIT thinks high schoolers should learn? MIT's "Day of AI" dayofai.org provides materials for K-12 teachers and claims to have reached over 5,000,000 students to date. 1/2

"AI might cure cancer. AI can do anything" AI can only make one kind of business poster. It hasn't figured out a second poster design. The fuck they talking about?

Circling back to this, I think our ruthless evil bastards need more positive role models. Growing up, they're told the only way to be a maniacal psychopath is to take over the world and kill everyone when in reality they can open casinos and mug grade schoolers and still be evil!

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

After throwing almost all refinement away in the late 1980s, digital #typography is recovering qualities of past centuries, like optical sizes, ligatures, detail &the eternal truths of spacing. Independent type design is now an explosion of talent. We need design education to hold this line, though

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Good gravy. Our much smaller library did a similar cull a few years ago and barely even told us what books were going out the door.

Dr. Jessica Lepler@jlepler.bsky.social

I asked UNH's archivist to create a file of letters protesting the "weeding" of 30% of the library's books. Future researchers need to know faculty did not let the books "go gentle into that good night" (30+ books on Dylan Thomas to be culled). 🗃️ #skystorians www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

I was homeless for eleven years. One of the things about homeless people is we aren't allowed to vote. The only time a candidate gets asked about homeless people is "how can we get rid of them in our neighbourhoods?"
