pride is this good

Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.

Analysts — and even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman himself — have acknowledged that AI companies are struggling to make enough money to cover their exorbitant expenses, concerns that drove a major tech selloff earlier this year.

And whether they’ll ever be able to produce enough revenue is a looming question. A startling report by researchers at MIT spooked investors in August, finding that only a measly five percent of AI pilot programs help businesses succeed at “rapid revenue acceleration,” with the vast majority falling flat.

Yet according to recent estimates, generative AI now accounts for roughly 40 percent of the United States’ gross domestic product. In other words, if the AI spending boom falls apart, it could take down the entire economy with it.

Lähikuva on vuoden tiedelehti. Onnea Lähikuva!

On ollut ilo osallistua itsekin lehteen kirjoittamiseen kahdessa numerossa, mutta mitä sitä aina itseään pönkittämään.

Ilahdutti nimittäin suuresti uuden numeron Evil Does Not Exist -teksti:

”Tasapaino on avain”: Metsä ja ihminen Ryusuke Hamaguchin elokuvassa Evil Does Not Exist

thinking about the hong sangsoo bit where he names a film so temporally muddled it's hard to say how many days pass or how events relate to each other The Day Something Something

having to relaunch the VN every time you want to change something is a big productivity killer, so i'm determined to implement some helpful tooling. i can now preview all kinds of crazy Dario Argento lighting effects on the sprites directly from the visual editor

purkka @purkka.fi · 3d

basically, you implement visual effects as gdscript files with various well-known properties, like arguments that define the state of the effect; i am now spinning all this into a GUI that allows you to adjust them and see what happens

gdscript code block reading:

extends Vfx
# lighting effects on a CanvasItem

var EMPTY_TEXTURE: Texture2D

func recognized_arguments() -> Array[String]:
return [ 'modulate', 'light_map', 'grade_map', 'with' ]

var modulate: Color = Color.WHITE
var light_map_path: String = ''
var grade_map_path: String = ''

func _init() -> void:
...

can't show anything since the test assets are from an unannounced project but i had a very exciting time with internal tooling today, you can now preview effects within the visual stage editor (which allows you to see how sprites, backgrounds, etc look)

😭 i think it's kind of like... wow, look, a queer woman made groundbreaking and singular art that continues to touch every new generation. now let's flatten it down to stuff we learned on tumblr

purkka @purkka.fi · 3d

sorry i just can't approach a text through any other lens than tumblr fandom tropes & dynamics i'm more projecting onto than discovering in my object of interest

At the risk of starting something, but since its trending:

So... Do (anglophonic) people know that the LGBT themes of Moomin is about many things in the text, such as most explicitly Tiuhti & Viuhti, not just Snufkin & Moomintroll, which is mainly just a popular ship?
Like there's more going on?

that's kind of what i'm talking about 😭 will the fact that the original books make rich use of metaphor and subtext viewed as a facet of Tove's vision & artistic sensibilities or as something that needs to be updated for modern audiences

will it be good? hard to imagine. but will it cause countless 20-somethings to have incomprehensible fandom drama on tumblr? most likely

you can associate a sprite with a speaker and play a speaking animation when a character speaks. to avoid timing issues, clients can not show it if the game is being skipped. but what if the animation is very, very long and the player advancing normally causes it to be played twice simultaneously?
