That's a fun dynamic y'all got then but it does make me curious why your bf doesn't game with you. Did he grow up with a gamer dad and think games aren't cool? 😎

This just brought back so many memories, thanks.

Sounds like you got DID. Dissociative identity disorder. I'm not shrink and this is just a random commenter that doesn't know you so take that with a grain of salt.

My eye doctor murdered his boss's wife and waited on the couch beside her corpse for him to get home. He got beaten the shit out of before he could kill his boss and the cops arrested him shortly after the beating.

This isn't the case. Midjourney doesn't receive any VC money since it has no investors and this ignores genned imagery made locally off your own rig.

That's not how it works or ever will work.

The of the first episode of my Ai series Beyond The Valley ends with this fun fact. This meme nails my intention perfectly chefs kiss Thanks for sharing.

Commercial interest wants to see free communities like this die out. I won't name names.

Ha yeah, it's my little status update of where we're at with AI video. No images were given as references, it was all done with text prompts.

Hey just wanted to say I'm stoked to see artists on Lemmy. Take care!

Thanks! Last bit I'll share with y'all is I was livestreaming when I came up with the comic idea.

 

This is the animated version of this comic.

If you like this sorta silliness, you can find my socials on my website or throw a coffee at my face.

 
 

Got more comics up here. Thanks for checking out my stuff. Take care!

I am a former VFX artist for a few [adultswim] shows who's been using AI since Thanksgiving '21 and Midjourney since the beta release as well as open source alternatives like Stable Diffusion. You can read the comic in full here: https://www.victorgnarly.com/stories/project-four-l3zw3-sl66r

I'm a former VFX artist for Robot Chicken and a few other [adultswim] shows. These are a few of my initial thoughts on AI imagery after 1 year in the can. Excuse my vtubers model, as I'm not fully condemning AI I've had to hide my identity a bit after some nasty was thrown my way online. Won't stop me from making content though. Take care!

 

Hi! I am a former VFX artist for a few [adultswim] shows who has been using generative imagery for about a year now. My take is very nuanced without a cheering endorsement or condemnation of Ai imagery. If anyone has questions or comments, please post them below. Thanks for watching.

 

Now before y'all throw pitchforks at me for a number of simplifications I made here, I did so with intent so let me break them down real quick.

  1. Threads is not yet federated. The whole discussion of should or shouldn't we federate with the zucks is not the subject of this piece. Rather, it's that many of us came to Lemmy to escape much of what is on commercial social media in the first place. I found this post ironic in that sense which is why I made it.

  2. Digital pollution is a catch all for data pollution, generative spam, devaluation of digital media, link rot, algorithmic monotony and climate change caused by mining + generative tech. I really didn't want to get into the nitty gritty of the internet's zombification with this comic so that's the phrase I went with.

  3. Antithetical is a bit extreme of a statement but I do not believe that you can have artificial scarcity if generative tech exists. There will inevitably be a few cryptobros that really hate this take but oh well.

  4. I am unapologetic about my use of Ai because most of my comics are about Ai's impact on entertainment. Although I am relatively sure this crowd isn't as offended as the art communities, I had a career in Hollywood VFX before my current job as a creative consultant. And I'm old enough that Ai feels like deja vu to the emergence of digital art and then 3D which ended my first career in stopmotion effects. In short, been there done that!
