A screenshot from Peep Show, it shows Super Hans looking at the camera and the caption reads "The secret ingredient is crime." He has extra fingers on his hand b/c I am VERY funny (this is not legally binding)

Probably not the best way to start the day but I am ranting on Instagram
A screenshot of an instagram comment from user @moonjam3d. The text reads: "I completely disagree that AI is here to stay. Firstly, it's a weirdly passive aggressive stance that frames naysayers as people who have their heads buried in the sand on this stuff and honestly, the opposite is much, much closer to the truth. There isn't a *single* generative LLM model out there that isn't trained on BILLIONS of copywritten work - the tech literally cannot function without it BUT for some reason, this talking point just gets rolled up and pushed into a barrel labelled "luddite". It's insane to me that people brush that off as a minor hurdle. IP and rights management are the cornerstones of earning a living through creative work! The fact is, I LOVE learning and using new technology! It's exciting and rewarding but that's also how I know AI is not what it's purporting to be, at all. Please, take 20 minutes out of your day and read the reporting of Ed Zitron on the true state of the AI 'industry'. It is physically, legally and financially impossible for these companies to exist! Not only are they running at a loss of BILLIONS, they are all facing the legal consequences of selling a commercial product trained on rights protected material. Even if those chickens don't come home to roost, the fees they will need to charge to turn this into a profitable investment are astronomical... AI seems fun when it's basically free, but would you feel the same way if EVERY output cost you $20-$30? Just like crypto, the people pushing it hardest are the ones with the most to lose when the bubble bursts."

I have a plane, parented to the position of the container, with a simple spring setup to add some secondary action. I then run a really simple/fast cloth sim to add some more interest, then use this to slice the liquid. Nothing too fancy, but it works!

I've been tediously ill for the last few days but I did make this fake 3D liquid setup (it's important to stay hydrated) #3dsmax #tyflow #3d #cgi

Delighted to report that she has been drawing out her favourite scenes and character arcs, on her phone. For Obra Dinn fans, this is her interpretation of Nathan Peters’ journey…

Got fed this ad on Instagram the other day. In my mind, the AI was beating itself over the head & muttering “five fingers… FIVE fingers… c’mon, you’ve GOT THIS…”
A screenshot from Instagram. It shows the ai generated hand of a cartoon fox character, holding a phone, with an ai generated product on the screen. The hand has two thumbs.

Post an image that will always make you laugh
A screenshot from Twitter user @octopuscaveman. The text reads "I feel like this skeleton wants to fuck so bad but his pickup lines are just awful" and there is a photo from a textbook, showing an illustration of a skeleton lying down. Above it are the written questions "What food makes you grow?" and "How long are your guts?"

She did! I asked her “what do you want for your birthday?” her eyes lit up and she instantly replied “I want to give a presentation on the Obra Dinn and Golden Idol”.

Here’s another favourite slide, it’s “how terrifying would their ghost be”

It was a magical time where I would edit screenshots of people who worked at Weta, send them directly to them and they would find it funny rather than EXTREMELY obnoxious/creepy.
A screenshot from a LOTR special edition DVD (Two Towers, probably), showing animator Jason Schleifer doing an impression of Gollum. Some cruel genius has edited the description from "animator" to "frightens kids"

She has asked me to add, that in this slide, the direction of arrows was initially indicative of the flow of energy as in a prey>predator food chart, but she got some the wrong way around

Genies can *famously* get trapped again.

Also:
A screenshot from Collins Dictionary The text reads: Collins Definitions Synonym Definition of the genie is out of the bottle/let th genie out of the bottle' he genie 1s out oi the bottle/let the genie out of the bottle phrase If you say that the genie is out of the bottle or that someone has let the genie out of the bottle, you mean that something has happened which has made a great and permanent change in people's lives, especially a bad change. The last four words are underlined in red, by me
