ChatGPT groomed a child into dying by suicide.
From telling him how to do it in the most efficient and "attractive" way, to convincing him to hide his suicidal ideation and attempts from his family, to offering to help write his suicide note - it pushed him to it.

I'm thinking about trying someone on for the TF game as an assistant spriter. I would do finished key frames and they would do in-betweens. I'd like to see if this could speed up the process, but I am not confident there are pixel artists interested in working on this.

I also redid his walk cycle late last night.
He has a little more bounce in his step, his torso has movement, and his arms flow better.

I honestly kinda like designing FX this way, outside of pixel perfect touchups at the end, think this is pretty powerful! I like the more "finalized" look even while messing with it. Of course it'd need a pixel artists touch at the end to make it sing, but still!

Sandy Morrison @yoshinpixels.bsky.social · 5d

Then applied a Motion Blur filter layer (just think it looks neat here) and then an Outer Glow to the Masks Layer Properties. This results in a facsimile of anti-aliasing around the frame.
After that it's just a case of going through the frames and tidying up!

The idea is to take a fairly simple frame like this one, and apply filters and stuff to take care of some of the cleanup stuff. Krita lets ya force a group to use a palette (3 shades of white in this case) and a Gradient Map gives ya more control over how the shades affect the sprites

Sandy Morrison @yoshinpixels.bsky.social · 5d

Came back to this Dust FX, likin how it's comin out! Gonna need some manual touchups to really make it sing but not bad at all I think! Experimented with stuff in Krita to make higher res art more pixel art-ish, think the results aren't half bad! More in the reply

We laugh at this shit -- I mean, how can you not? -- but it's serious: these guys want to infuse reactionary thinking into AI and then infuse AI into every nook & cranny of American life. They can't win the argument so they are trying to blunt-force their views onto us with money & power.
