In old Chinese, 虫(direct translation to bug) means animal in general, such as 大虫(big bug, which actually means tiger)

A lot of artstyle choices don’t translate well in HD, such as the massive pauldrons and thick armor trims in Warcraft. They were the result of graphics limitation at the time

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.

This is Kirk's legacy.

You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I Am An AI Hater

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

LMAO mechanical turk ass bullshit
like it's one thing to steal from us all, it's another to pretend to be stealing from us all because that's what consumers want. They want to consume the stolen goods but you can't steal talent yet so you have to pretend it's stolen

So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.

If true, then fucking yikes.

What is this bullshit moralistic view on art. These themes can be exploitative or meaningful motifs. And it’s not for them to judge. Also, who’s harmed by scat and vomit???

if you are a concept artist currently using Vizcom and believing that it's "just a tool", all you are doing is making absolutely certain you will shortly cease to be a concept artist
