I’ve slowly been incorporating Blender into my workflow for Broats, and on the next short I’m fully using Blender to set up the camera angles for each shot and it is such a game changer

As someone who’s felt a bit self conscious about the limited angles in my shorts, this is a massive help

Hey here’s a favor for any DJs out there wondering how to use those Kpop Demon Hunters tracks:

Yeah, I think I could look at that! I’ll message you after I take a look.

Wow I did not remember that 10 Things I Hate About You started with “One Week” by Barenaked Ladies

That was a jump scare

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Hey I’m on hiatus and have some time on my hands and want to practice doing Lenormand card readings.

It’s like tarot, but different and pretty cool.

Ask me a question below and I might get back to you with a quick, free card pull.

I’m barely joking. Call me Hollywood

I still think we can solve the male loneliness epidemic with one really good romantic teen comedy about a podcast bro fan type dude who accidentally learns how to relate normally to girls and falls in love

Like, based on some dare or bet or something? I’m thinking “She’s All That” adjacent

Lol Disney hit the panic button and dropped the Mandalorian and Grogu trailer to get people back on their side

The timing is extremely funny

Turning Red slander is laughable. That movie slaps, and the art style makes perfect sense for that specific story. Color palette is goated.

I was a dog person my whole life and thought cats are just little guys that say meow

Now that I have a cat I am extremely mad that no one told me the actual truth that they are basically little monkeys

“Hey u want a cat?” No thanks

“Hey u want a sharp monkey?” Yes, why didn’t you say so

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Ars Technica @arstechnica.com · Aug 27

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

I find it funny when an animated movie for an original IP that wasn't meant to be a big deal ends up making bank, and then every executive is left wondering how it happened. The answer is then always that the movie had a coherent and well-crafted story, looked cool, and had good music. Every time.

Congratulations to our president for finally getting everyone to stop talking about the Epstein files by getting everyone to instead talk about whether or not he is dying

On a side note the success of this movie makes me feel very validated in my decision to get super into kpop during the pandemic

I was right, it rules

If you need a cheap cat toy that your cats will actually engage with, just let a bunch of bugs into your house

lol I don’t know where to put my mundane astrology predictions now that I don’t have my astrology twitter account anymore

I’m just gonna say July 31st will likely be a big news day regarding that one guy that we all don’t like

Sorry, I know no one here follows me for astrology content
