watched #otgw for the first time since it aired so I drew a bunch of fanart, here's Wirt but I'll post everyone else eventually too 🍂

#artpost

illustrations of Wirt, the main character of Over the Garden Wall. He's a lanky white teenager with brown hair and a thin face, wearing a halloween costume of a cape, suspenders and a gnome hat. Various points in the animated miniseries are reinterpreted here, including making a mixtape for his crush Sara, being annoyed by Beatrice the bluebird, and some of his expressions from dialogue that may be a bit spoilery

I’am so so so sorry but my family is still lying in the street, in the freezing October cold.
Don’t forget them in your donations they have no one but you. Good bye

"The consumers won't care if it's AI."

Ah yes, horror fans -- y'know, the people who famously ask "Are the FX Practical?!" about literally every movie -- definitely won't care that you're feeding them prompt-generated slop. Good call there.

The worst people on nextdoor all punch the air in synchronized exuberance at the forward lurching of the surveillance state as the ring camera openly does what it was definitely intended to do anyway

Amazon's Ring is adding facial recognition to its home doorbells and security cameras for the first time.

To identify people you know, it needs to run everyone's face in sight through facial recognition.

The sheer magnitude of dehumanization flung at homeless people on the daily without adding in this “prank” horseshit is just beyond words
God damn

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.
