I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!”
And
I hate to say it
But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas
Quit.

"Pah rum pah pah pummm"
Denigrates a beloved celebrity after their murder, says "it happens" when talking about a school shooting, says we should buy less dolls for X-Mas, threatens a war w/ Venezuela the same day his chief of staff is quoted saying he acts like an alcoholic, 3 days before the release of the Epstein files.

Spent a little time today refining my TAS shaders. I'm pretty happy with how things are looking right now! Used some compositor nodes as well to add some post-processing. These are all 'in-camera' renders straight out of #Blender3D

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.
