Steve Van Loon @svanloon.bsky.social · 29/03/2025"A vengeance has been taken upon the nobility of art. The multitude, which does not understand painting or poetry, idolizes photography and thinks it is the equivalent of art. A madness, an extraordinary fanaticism, took possession of all these new sun-worshippers." Charles Baudelaire/Salon of 1859 000

Steve Van Loon @svanloon.bsky.social · 28/03/2025Unreal’s classes emphasized that you should create just enough of the set for shots. This works great for video, but horrible for VR. However, viewing this stuff as a diorama is fine. Hobbiton is scannable, so there might be some 3DGS out there. 110
Steve Van Loon @svanloon.bsky.social · 28/03/2025I Love Lucy was enhanced to generate an HD/widescreen version of the show. This required generating the set from the footage. It lacked the 4th wall and ceilings. Seinfeld’s set isn’t cohesively possible. 110
Steve Van Loon @svanloon.bsky.social · 28/03/2025Ironically, some of the people and companies that worked on The Hobbit (1977) became Studio Ghibli. The style was taken from an illustrated short story magazine. 020

Steve Van Loon @svanloon.bsky.social · 27/03/2025🔥 These diagrams are everything against open data, action bias, and humanism. What we missed: • Compartmentalization breeds wickedness—no info flow, no shared understanding • “Getting Stuff Done” = zero mechanisms to do • The ideal Prince? A Monster We deserve better. 010
Steve Van Loon @svanloon.bsky.social · 27/03/2025I suspect that Sacha Baron Cohen's character is in-part based on Austrian Niki Lauda, which is famous for his rivalry with James Hunt. The writers brought the rivalry over to help make the Ricky Bobby's story better than Elroy Jackson Jr.'s story. In the same way, people apply laughs/min to story. 010
Steve Van Loon @svanloon.bsky.social · 27/03/2025I watched Talladega Nights in the past week or so. What I never knew is that it's (in-part) a parody of The Last American Hero (1973), which is the story of Elroy Jackson Jr. The elements of a going fast to follow in the Dad's illegal footsteps, libertine woman, protective Mom. #IWannaGoFast 110

Steve Van Loon @svanloon.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Virtual tools seem the best we’ve ever seen and simultaneously we seem limited to video conferencing and a handful of companies making AI powered Miro knock off collaboration tools.
