Hmmm four dollars and eighty-three cents. How’s it feel to be fucked twice!? Once by me and once by the muthafuckin’ man!?

Oh man…what’s that one animated short where it’s just a deformed looking man asking “Computah” to make something for him and it scans his whole body for the prompt!? I can’t seem to find it anywhere because that’s what the new Astra 6 announcement reminds me of!

If you want that, see what the clanker spankers are saying on r/DefendingAIart. Take some ibuprofen before going in.

They're literally trying to blur the line between human and machine, really sticking our own words against us. I have a dreadful feeling that they're gonna push us to our limits that we would eventually destroy art as a whole.

So OpenAI's Astra 6 can just go into Blender, Clip Studio Paint and other programs and just create anything you tell it to in real time... First AI was just meant to create anything instantly, now it's just rubbing it in our faces going "SEE!? AI can learn and draw just like humans!!"

Rather it’ll collapse on itself. With genAI text, images and videos outputting human content, we might eventually see the robo Alzheimer’s finally take hold. Though don’t think Terminator would be the right one. I’m thinking more of War Games and I Have No Mouth and I must scream.

Man they really toned down the goofy aspects of the original Cow sprite. Also definite generic cow AI.

Cool to see Ninja Baseball Batman/League-Man back - especially as we rebooted the series (With its creator!) as an official comic a few years ago! I’m not involved in the game, but glad to see them back, and you’ll see more from the comic adaptation asap, too! ⚾️

I recommend trying some experimentation with styles and other approaches. Try different genres and study people’s art that speaks to you.

What I would do if I was PlayStation: restore some TRUST in digital download ownership. Allow players to backup their digital games on a external hard drive + allow install on another console with an offline login.

So my birthday was in May, and I TRIED to have this done, but I just had to be busy as hell and a bit Extra with it! I got the opportunity to do a little bonus animation as part of my patreon that month, and keep up with my monthly animation challenge...I thought! But here it is!

Two-panel comic. The first panel shows a barren wasteland, with two figures crying "What happened to modern gaming?!" "There is no passion anymore…" In the second panel, you see a green oasis in the background, where a figure sits in a chair, playing indie games on a screen.

What an incredibly dumb and expensive journey to reinvent one of the most proven and well oiled wheels ever known. Fingers crossed for a renaissance of non-serialized TV shows, and that we all learn to keep tech nerds away from the entertainment industry.

Then cut to the crew and the guest sobering up at a local coffee shop. God now I just wanna storyboard this.

Gotta admit that's a sweet way to end the entire convention. Just gotta find the right crew of animators to make that magic happen. Though if I had directed some of this, give that dreamy sequence only to end up having an abrupt cut of them being poked by the staff after an all night bender.

it's basically the number one rule to any medium ; you can't just tunnel-vision and pigeon hold yourself into a corner. that niche may feel comfortable but it's stifling and prevents you from seeing "the bigger picture" in any sort of artistic/cultural context

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.

Kane: Absolutely not.

For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.

Anecdotal, but checking the seats available at my local theater this weekend, it sure seems like a lot more people are planning to see TADC than that He-Man movie. Refreshing to see new stuff do so well against stagnant IPs.

Making an animated series is arduous work, often times it’s a miserable experience but the one thing that makes it all worth it is knowing I’m making a crew of actual, talented humans suffer and sometimes die by screaming orders at them. Take that away and what’s even the point??

Then again, Japan actually tried to do an anime that's biggest claim to fame being a "95% genAI anime" though. Basically use 3D, Unreal Engine 5 and ai filters and other gimmicky tricks all mention in this video by Swamp Jawn. Breaks down every horrid method used. youtu.be/PSoutamXPIQ?...

Kinda reminds me of the time Pete Williams, creator of the MTV series Undergrads, actually had some thoughts of having genAI as a way to inbetween the repetitive animation like background characters and such. Sadly it's the last update video of the Undergrads movie. youtu.be/mPJcU4yprO4?...
