O nosso querido Tonho, protagonista do aclamado filme série B português 'O Velho e a Espada', chegou às Terras Intermédias!

Infelizmente o áudio é apenas para espalhar charme e espantar demónios, (ainda?) não está integrado no mod. Link para o Nexus Mods na descrição.

OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generator—despite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait.

Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to them tech has won.
OpenAI's Studio Ghibli meme factory is an insult to art itself
Sam Altman is promoting his new image generator by appropriating the work of one of the greatest living animators—who is "disgusted" by AI.

Assassin's Creed Shadows ainda a fazer correr tinta de controvérsia. A juntar aos japoneses que se sentem insultados, juntam-se os portugueses. Devolve-me à lembrança AC4 e não pelas melhores razões. 😂

O sotaque (ítalo-português?) de Valignano então é qualquer coisa de fascinante.

Limp Bizkit had me on the floor, headbanging, likely because it hits like a refined, early 2000s AMV. Art style and animation is only icing on the cake, so much so that I feel the urge to study every single frame.

Looks like we're in for a DMC3 fest, all the way to the manga. Please don't suck.

Me into December: "Xmas has been awfully calm this year."

Someone: "Yo, we've got a Xmas fair and village coming in 2 weeks' time. Up for the challenge? Digital and physical promo, tarps, entrance gate, invites for VIPs, daily schedules, tabletop game mats, banners, flags, ice slide. Mascots too!"

Somehow it took me some time to realize that the long-awaited sequel to one of my favorite games of all time is FINALLY happening. A pivotal 'before and after' moment for me as a gamer. It's like a hype shot to the heart.

Now excuse me while I blast the walls with 'The Sun Rises' at full volume.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

"Artists united against generative AI"

I did this poster last year for a festival, with this concept in mind.
I had the idea of creating a duel between the Artist and the AI, confronting a CPU with the size of a skyscraper. A clear example of David vs Goliath.

Cannot help but smile at this. Some may argue that the trend of turning every popular animated feature into live-action is absurd and unnecessary and I would wholeheartedly agree.

But if you must, at least do it right. DreamWorks seems to understand the assignment. Everything falls into place here.

As imagens (não só esta) do site do cheque-livro foram feitas com IA, não foram? Os meus olhos dizem-me que sim. Todos os "AI detector" que experimentei dizem 90 a 99% de IA. Ali diz "República Portuguesa" e "Cultura". E vocês, o que dizem?
