Animator! I used to enjoy coming up with goofy profile summaries but facetiousness doesn't feel like authenticity anymore so I feel like a man without a country.

without exaggerating:
discovering this at the age of 16 and laughing so hard that I had to find out where the photos came from, discovering Something Awful in the process, was arguably more formative towards the person I grew into as an adult than going to college it's in entirety

sent another thank-you email to someone who made the effort to turn me down for a job instead of just letting me float in the void. it's straight-up offensive how rare it is to have anyone bother to give you the closure of "the position has been filled"

"i want to be a filmmaker, except i don't want to do a single part of the film making process and also i don't have any ideas for a film"
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

Valve breaks its silence on Steam Deck OLED scarcity and yes, it's because of the RAM and storage crisis
AI continues to mop up all the components you need to play videogames.

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything."
And.
Yup.

You may ask what gives it away this is generated, note the floor the noise and scale of the texture is not consistent. Then the reflection of the show, the shower head and curtain are not reflected in the mirror. There are several other things of note such as the flesh walker.
What could go wrong using AI to help stage a few listing photos?

The amount of times I sit in a call with a dreamer and their dream game is basically "everything from my favorite six games smashed together into perfect harmony and there was endless flawless content and it has graphics everyone likes" and I have to explain that making feet go on stairs is hard
i think what a lot of people never seem to realize is that a lot of people's vision of an "epic dream game" isn't actually very deep and comes down to scale and/or having a lot of features, whereas by embracing limitations you can be pushed in a far more radical direction.
rpgmaker definitely isn't the right tool for everyone, but I think using opinionated pre-baked tools to make some games would be very instructive to a lot of folks setting out to make their epic custom dream game. they're a much lower-stakes way to learn important lessons like "how to tell a story"
