A wireframe mesh on a 3D model of a hand, where a single triangle is highlighted. The rest of the mesh is made exclusively with quads.

I can't find it for the life of me, but a while back I saw a tweet from an AI bro who said something like "After thousands of AI prompts, I've unlocked this weird ability to SEE the image in my head before it's even generated"

dude literally had no imagination until he started thinking about art

"I was the guy who animated the short," or "how do I let the hosts know that I was the guy who animated the short"?

gonna be at the Hey Riddle Riddle live show in Denver this weekend, how do I let the hosts know "hey I was the guy who animated the short that's currently pinned on your instagram page" without coming across as desperate for attention

having gone the previous 95% of my life without it, it's a little surreal to feel the EXACT moment my adhd meds wear off. one minute I'm creative and productive, then suddenly: uh oh, i ran outta "doing stuff" for the day, time to stare into the middle distance for two uninterrupted minutes

CEOs spent 100s of billions on crypto datacenters during the pandemic. they thought "surely the economy will always be this way" and put all their eggs in an OBVIOUSLY temporary basket

generative AI runs on the same DC infrastructure that crypto did. I wonder why they're pushing it so hard.

hmmmm

*The AI boom = one of the costliest building sprees in world history

* Past 3 years' commitments are greater than the cost of building the U.S. interstate highway system

* Consumers must spend $800 billion on AI within a few years, to justify investment from 2023-24

www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-b...

This week, consultants at Bain & Co. estimated the wave of AI infrastructure spending will require $2 trillion in annual AI revenue by 2030. By comparison, that is more than the combined 2024 revenue of Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Nvidia, and more than five times the size of the entire global subscription software market.

Morgan Stanley estimates that last year there was around $45 billion of revenue for AI products. The sector makes money from a combination of subscription fees for chatbots such as ChatGPT and money paid to use these companies’ data centers.

How the tech sector will cover the gap is “the trillion dollar question,” said Mark Moerdler, an analyst at Bernstein.

The new video is LIVE for members.There's a copyright claim on this one. I disputed it as fair use (because it is) but that normally doesn't work out on this platform... so this video might not make any ad rev, so I am really counting on the Patreon this time around!

I don't have the brightest mind for business, but I'd argue that announcing a price hike less than 24 hours after undoing a politically motivated decision that is actively causing an international boycott is what we like to call a "very bad business move."

A screenshot of Disney's stock price.

112.25 USD
-5.46 (-4.64%) past month

(There's a lot of data in this screenshot, but the most important one is the big red graph that's pointing down.)

"Wait wait wait wait, don't boycott us! We'll, uh... we'll raise the price!"

inside of you, there are two wolves: a tiny version of yourself that rides motorcycles, and the different one that does other things. there are only two sorry

In the character selection screen of Mario Kart Wii, the princesses have tiny biker versions of themselves hidden inside their bodies. This is due to the game loading both the dress and biker models at the same time for efficiency, and simply shrinking the currently unused one.

when an artist gets laid off from corporate employment, please do not suggest "just go indie!" that ain't how things work. last year I was AN HOUR late on my rent one month, and there was a 3-day eviction warning on my door by the time I noticed. unfortunately bills still exist, which is a bummer

I can't afford to quit my day job because youtube doesn't pay the bills. it would PROBABLY pay the bills if I posted more often, but I don't really have time do to that because of my job

these 13 seconds of animation took ~3 hours, but imagine how much animation I could do in a 40 hour work week
