The of the first episode of my Ai series Beyond The Valley ends with this fun fact. This meme nails my intention perfectly chefs kiss Thanks for sharing.

Commercial interest wants to see free communities like this die out. I won’t name names.

Thanks! Last bit I’ll share with y’all is I was livestreaming when I came up with the comic idea.

My pleasure!

Here’s a full breakdown instead (warning: big file)

He is the undo button

I do too hope the strikes are successful. That said, you’ve likely already been consuming generative technology for some time now. Disney alone has nearly a decade of research into it already. Advanced VFX applications use all sorts of generative tech too. When I was working in LA we referenced public data all the time. I know it’s gotten a huge spotlight on it given private AI capitalizing/evangelizing it all but the very real threat of digital scabs taking people’s jobs needs the biggest spotlight right now. I do think the tables will turn if nothing good can come out of Hollywood and those artists begin weaponizing that same tech against the execs. I see what studios are doing as no different than impersonation & identity theft by using this tech to limit working hours to skirt union protections.

Gonna offer my two cents as someone who entered the industry during the last writer’s strike. You’ll see some interesting creative divergence as said creatives crave expression and reach out to new venues like YouTube for the first time. It was one of many changes to the industry at that (and now this) time. I use generative tech because it’s part of this exploration of the taboo. Back then, YouTube was the taboo because it was effectively working for free and with no insurance or protection by comparison to a stable studio gig. Take away the studio gig, anything and everything could be opportunity for change and especially so the longer this goes on tbf.

My recommendation is not to only prompt the exact emotion that you want. I’ve had a lot of great luck by thinking of moments that might evoke those emotional states and put your characters in them. “Getting a new puppy” might create a more overjoyed state but will also generate a puppy. Just thinking like a director rather than a painter or a photographer gives me more interesting results. I hope that helps.

This was three separate V4 midjourney prompts with the middle being a variation of one or the other. I forgot which one came first. Lastly, Leo (the head) is their own three prompts composited into each frame using Photoshop. The animated panels on my website were done in Ae.

Ha I can see the resemblance too but Chet is the amalgamation of all “gritty 80s action hero” personified into one person. At best you could argue he’s offbrand generic Gibson.

I did write the script.

I know my comic praising lemmy for no karma added to the confusion on this but I do appreciate that lemmy.world does not feature the server karma on profiles for reasons already said in the comments. Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks that worked :)

Had to clear my browser catch to log in, Jerboa still shows as not logged in even after logging out which you do by clicking the hamburger menu then click the top banner to change/log out of accounts. This post is a test to see if my account works again via browser lol.

Edit: clearing app data/cache for Jerboa fixed the login issue.

This place needs content, can’t have your cake and eat it too. Just unfollow the reddit sub if you don’t want to see it.

No there’s a lot of fearmongering over meta’s new app Threads which is going to be federated eventually which means you can see their posts here too if so. The server admins can defederate from meta if it’s a problem in the future so these empty threats of leaving or whatever is just noise. Try to ignore it.

This is more of a #im14andthisisdeep sorta statement.
