Instead of using ChatGPT, why not just get a family member to lie to you while they set fire to a tree?

setting aside everything else obviously-fake about this scam text, “this matter may be reported to the DMV” is one of the least-intimidating threats ever made

Flow was made in Blender and cost only $3.7 million -- but it defeated Hollywood at the Oscars.

This is a huge moment for its team. It's just as huge for European animation, and the ecosystem that nurtured Flow, Robot Dreams and so many other films: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/flow-takes...

You know who should've won an Oscar last night? The person who designed the little 'Gravity on / off' buttons in Alien Romulus.

This games industry bloodbath is because of corporate mismanagement and pure, unrestrained avarice. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely.

The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.
