Tried to sneak a photo of a cute doggo and accidentally had long exposure on and I believe I have created man’s greatest expression of art

Now blocking all new followers whose bios are entirely "proud Democrat / progressive / rando lefty buzzwords / etc"

I know the bots/mass influence accounts are flooding in, so you're going to have to put in a lot more effort. I want to see unique bios. Career details. Bitching about nonsense.

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

Tweet by @night margin "digital artist woes" image of the same color gradient on various screen (monitor 1 appears very grey purple, phone appear VERY pink, monitor 2 appears a more saturated purple, laptop appears brownish red, family's phone appears much darker and bluer etc.)

Oh no, another thing we should stop promoting on our platforms.

LittleKuriboh @littlekuriboh.bsky.social · 4h

Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:

"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."

Something to keep an eye on.

A promotional image from Mihoyo for "AI Job Openings" that explains "in the world of Honkai we have always believed that AI can create infinite possibilities"

Examples of 2D artwork and 3D models that demonstrate how the AI would allow them to see how models would appear when translated from one to the other

An example of the Honkai Star Rail mascot Pom-Pom chatting to the playing using AI technology

Use the saw, fear the saw
stephango.com/saw

Use the saw, fear the saw

When I learned to use a table saw, my teacher impressed upon me that the machine wants to cut fingers. Fear the saw!

Powerful tools can do powerful things. If you want to make handmade wooden furniture you must cut wood. Your desire to have limbs and your desire to have furniture are not at odds if you learn to use tools safely.

There are table saws that will stop at the touch of a finger, but I don’t know of any chainsaw that won’t cut an arm. There is a limit to how safe a tool can be before its function is crippled.

We should not stop making powerful tools because they are dangerous. Rather, we should empower people to use powerful tools safely.

I use the saw, I fear the saw. I have handmade furniture, and I have all my limbs.

Another Godot gotcha: if you type out a color in a shader, it can be interpreted in different color spaces depending on where you put it, even if you write it exactly the same.

Below, you can see the difference between vec3(0.5) written as a uniform vs. vec3(0.5) written locally in the frag func.
