This is a pretty good summary of why this stuff has zero appeal to anyone who actually enjoys making anything, and there will never be anything Ai companies can do about that. (Green absolutely torching his own credibility is just an astonishing unforced error. Write your own words!)

The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

okay but, this is the way we fight AI in everyday life we need to foster an atmosphere of disgust and repulsion of AI, like AI is like seeing a roach in a google review. Get up and leave the restaurant. "um, I just saw some AI stuff, I just... I dunno, it's gross haha. I'm good. thanks. Thank you"

Really wild to notice how much subtle stress I was under recently. I wasn’t having any anxiety attacks but boy I put pressure on myself and now feel really good. Things aren’t fixed and the world is still hell but some immediate stress is gone. I hope this continues…

Raven’s cheek is swollen where her loose fang is and I’m worried it might be infected, so taking her into surgery tomorrow morning 😢 please send all the good vibes… she will be one fang less teefy than her usual self by the end but at least she won’t be in pain anymore 🙏 🙏

My poor cat Raven has tooth resorption lesions causing her teeth to rot & fall out, she’s in a lot of pain 😢 she’ll need expensive surgery soon to extract the affected teeth. I’m so anxious and gutted. May fundraise later for this, but til then…maybe toss a tip our way? 🙏 ko-fi.com/johannamation

My black cat Raven sleeping with a fang poking out of her mouth…turns out the lesions are the reason her fangs have been so visible lately, one of them is loose and may break or fall out any day now :( she already lost a bottom fang a couple months ago

✨️✨️✨️ here's a video about all of the features! There are tools to check if your mesh is watertight and to quickly add keys. Most tools are nondestructive by creating duplicates of your meshes before applying changes, so you can always go back! vimeo.com/1214897866?s...
