VFX artist gets hired by client, finds out later in project they’re using AI,
discovers that it takes longer to type prompts in AI in Google VEO to get what client wants just building out the scene in Blender, but client goes “no no no, use AI!”
Very common story I’m hearing
i never understood why some businesses choose to use AI for their graphics instead of hiring or commissioning actual artists/designers.
even if you’re pro-AI, it makes you look cheap. if you cut corners on your marketing, what else are you cutting corners on?
Sloppers who have AI generate art for them now complaining about people stealing their prompts has to be the most ironic and funniest outrage I've seen all decade
The assassination of MIT Professor Nuno Loureiro was a planned hit job.
He was not just any professor. He was a pioneer in the race for unlimited energy.
His work to advance limitless, emission-free power was a threat to Big Oil and his murder should be seen through this lens.
Nuno Loureiro was assassinated yesterday
He was a professor + the director of MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center
> 47 years old
> Studied nuclear fusion (= energy source of the Sun + stars) for 10 years at MIT
> His award-winning work focused on creating a virtually limitless, clean energy source on Earth - one that doesn’t produce carbon or radioactive waste (usual biproduct of fission reactors)
> His research was essentially a threat to companies in the energy sector (fossil fuels, wind, solar, etc)
> Nuno was vital to the development of fusion nuclear power plants, without him the path ahead is less clear + his death will set back the entire field
Nuno is not the first MIT fusion scientist to be brutally murdered, in 2004 Eugene Mallove was also shot in his home
I hope this opens eyes – there is an agenda at play
