Why am I tired of LinkedIn AI bros?
It actually has nothing to do with AI. It has to do with how humans treat humans. Most of the arguments I see that are pro GenAI RELY on human creators like me to be:
-inflexible
-outdated
-"whiny"
-fundamentally broken

I’m sorry but I’m just super fed up with GenAI video bros on LinkedIn. Like, if you find yourself constantly on the defensive with CG artists, maybe look at the quality of your argument. PSA: If you’re posting daily on LI like a desperate AI clout junkie & not actually working 💵, what does that say?

The Madness of Chartrulean carries themes of manufactured food scarcity as political leverage.
If you are among the 45 million people impacted by the suspension of SNAP benefits, these themes may feel especially raw.
This story was never meant to be a how-to guide for fascism.
But here we are.

Took some time these past couple weeks to take a course in Unreal Engine cinematics from Bad Decisions Studio. Turns out it was a good decision! Course assets are provided, you learn the rest. Recommend.

Logged into Linkedin to post my latest reel and it's such a cesspool of corporate AI evangelists that I feel grossly out of place sharing a portfolio that's an accumulation/result of doing things myself for two decades.
I miss skill appreciation, now we just have "did you do this in Runway?"

New to modeling in #Blender, and one of the things I struggle with is scale. Working on a larger-than-life environment is more challenging than it seems

There hasn’t been a lot of time to really dig into the new version of Unreal Engine lately, but now that I have, it’s easy to see that Metahuman 5.6 is one hell of a glow-up. Its added morph targets for muscles are really impressive. Very realistic movement.

"The Wine-Dark Sea" is the best entry in the Aubrey-Maturin series because it's about the complicated pleasure of outlasting your best friend's other best friend, whom you have never liked
