Like what do you mean a special townhall on who controls the future of AI is only reserved for Stanford alumni, students and staff?!?
Artist cannot be left out of these conversations! Especially in progressive circles!
Really gotta find a way to connect with folks. They must know our plight! 😭

I would love to find a way to connect @SenSanders , @RoKhanna and @AOC to artists orgs and unions who are fighting GenAi companies for their original sin: taking our creative works to build their models without our consent, credit or compensation.
Especially with them hosting events like these

I tried to make something similar to the imitation of alien robot sounds, communication. Here is the first Unreal Engine MetaSound patch, its secret is the use of Bitcrusher filter #UE5 #UnrealEngine #sounds #gamedev

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Some areas can become inaccessible if you make the wrong moves, in this case, if the acid tank breaks, you can flood an entire area with corrosive acid.

Implemented rudimentary face sliders for procedural NPCs by simply adding a normal aligned offset to the face mesh in the vertex shader using a mask. For now it only changes the size of the cheeks, nose, and lips encoded in the red, green, and blue channels of the mask.

In a week I made a prototype of a scene that will be in the game as a checkpoint, meaning the player will see it often. There will be a lot actions here. This is a multitool system for robots. Can I already be called a level designer and an entry-level 3D artist?

So, I also added an aurora borealis, 'cause WHY NOT! The asset pack IS based on a northern hemisphere forest, so I guess this would be part of it, since we also have snow!

The footprints are not too visible 'cause the snow is a bit raised from ground level (need to adjust that still), but I am loving the winter biome. It turned out to be very versatile!

The dynamic weather system is all done! There's so much stuff I left out, just because of time constraints, but damn! I am loving it! Only available for UE5 and up. I really wanted to do a version for my 4.27 peeps, but it just won't render properly there!
