over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

People say the establishment Democrats have a messaging problem, but they were able to turn "moderate" into a euphemism for "pro-genocide." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It's always confusing when I see a post from Chuck Tingle (@chucktingle.bsky.social)--who loves Love--and at first glance think it was from Chuck Schumer (@schumer.senate.gov), who loves genocide.

A magazine for which I interviewed Phil Tippett, as well as Lee Moss & Brendan O'Brien (Retrospecter Films), is finally out! It's almost 200 pages of cinema weirdness by some fantastic writers. Ordering info is at wengschop.com. (This isn't my art--it's the designer's, Tony Strauss.)

A #houdinifx R&D digression. It's a completely procedural setup (subsequently textured in #zbrush). There's a longer description and wireframes with different eye counts on Instagram, but Meta is evil, but this site limits video and word counts, and all social media sucks, as does humanity.

Usually the phishers disappear after the first mention of eating children. I applauded this one's dedication to their job until my wife pointed out that it's probably a chatbot and I'm just training genAI to eat children.

Many feel that Caravaggio was not silly enough and had too few squeaky sound effects. I have fixed these issues and thus fixed Art. (I recorded the moaning myself. Clearly, if anyone out there is looking for a voice actor, you should contact me.)

I don't think Jesus suffered as much for Christianity as the people who forced themselves to watch a Kid Rock concert to prove that they are "Christians."

This is just an exercise in procedurally modeling, rigging, and animating some critters that I did a couple of years ago, using #houdini and rendered in #ue5, but the lighting annoyed me, so I gave it a little goose. Some have suggested that I use less horrible sound, but they are wrong. #friends
