People often ask me "what's the harry blends style?" [well they don't, but if we're trapped in an elevator you better believe I'm gonna tell you] imho this video is the best example of it so far. And I think it's even helped some folks... #b3d #geometrynodes #blender3d

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow.
Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do?

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow
AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

Bluesky is like what I imagine twitter was like when it started. Twitter is now like a cross between the future in the Terminator when it's run by robots and the Martian red light district in Total Recall.

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event
"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"
This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

Now there’s *absolutely* no excuse for using Bfont
One significant limitation for motion graphic presets with #GeometryNodes will be removed in Blender 5.1: The font in the String to Curves node has an input socket now, so it can be controlled by a modifier. #b3d #devfund

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

I had the wild idea of turning it into a “geometry nodes for beginners” video. So it’s taking a bit more time
