The Silt: an undulating mass of something, traveling in small colonies. Little is known of its origin—but it only eats humans, never anything else. We suspect an interdependent link with Hollows. We can’t study it: it strips flesh from bone and survivors lie.

This is me diving into pixel art. I made a spaceship. Honest feedback?

This graph scares me. The red line is the US job market, the blue is the value of the S&P 500. i know correlation doesn't imply causation but either:

1) This shows the AI bubble is growing and is real
2) The worth of your labour has decreased rapidly

I've just spent the morning recreating the What If Machine from Futurama in CSS.
I'm most proud of the rings as there a 3D transform which took me ages to figure out.

I’m convinced “niche LLMs” will become common and we’ll go full circle.

This is what it generated today.
This is supposed to be a similar shot where its a close up of the queen walking up to take her throne...
but instead I got this.

same model. same style of prompt, only difference was time.

bet: Google will announce VEO4 and its just old VEO3 but costs extra.

VEO3 really sucks now.... I don't know if there was an update but something is going on.
This was a piece of reference footage i created a month ago.
It's rich, it has slight movements, it looks like a scene from a movie...

@kurzgesagt.org I didn’t realise how big the art book was going to be but it looks amazing!

I’m learning Blender and I didn’t realise how powerful I actually was.

Why is OpenAI pivoting so much to browsers and video apps?

The memes for the Van Der Linde Mango Plantation in Tahiti is hilarious! I wish this was the end of RDR2

am I the idiot? Or is it Similarweb and the BBC? Adult site traffic is down for the UK but the search terms for “tor” and “VPN” are through the roof?!

I feel like the UK government is being sponsored by NordVPN

I like to watch The Simpsons in the background when I'm relaxing for background noise but i spend 5-10 minutes picking the first episode to watch... So i made a website that loops through the first 9 Seasons continuously. #theSimpsons

When I was at school, my teacher used to say “everything on the internet is fake” and that is more real today than it’s ever been.

I’ve noticed people are struggling to tell when an image is AI generated; this can’t continue.

This image is AI generated, you can tell because it’s got that horrible orangey colour palette, the girls hand isn’t touching the ground and the boys foot blends with the floor.

AI has taken all the fun out of coding. I am not meant to be a “prompt engineer” feel like loads of people are about to get burn out
