Coke's AI ad from last year the creative agency revealed that they had to generate 85 minutes of footage just to find 15 usable seconds.
Everyone who attempts making an AI ad quickly discovers it's actually far MORE work and cost to make usable than just going out and shooting the damn thing.

Always hilarious to see ppl realize that even the most benign piece of media is the outcome of many many hours work and decision making, and slopping loads of shit together with no direction somehow doesn't quite feel the same - probably spent more on this than a normal ad

When using AI to identify enemies, how much will friendly fire incidents increase by? 40%? 60% More?
Pete Hegseth: "The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI."
He says the military has launched a new platform that "puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

Sometimes pros guard their knowledge out of insecurities or because they lost touch with reading comics for fun.
You can even pull all the altruism out of it and in a self serving way- why wouldn't I help you to make comics? I like comics. I want to read your comics! Of course I'd help.

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

If you use 4K+ Video Downloader on a Mac, 2K and 4K videos are often only available in AV01, MKV and VP9 codecs. None of those work in Quicktime/AppleTV.
You can use HandBrake to convert 2K and 4K video to formats playable on Mac, complete with subtitles (if you included them in the 4K+ download.)

A ton of baking done over the last two days.
Double batch of shortbread cookies for Christmas, a huge loaf of sourdough rye bread, 10 waffles, and smokey bourbon BBQ sauce with chilis from our balcony garden.
I freeze all the extra waffles - If you're going to make them, might as well do a bunch.
