Brings back memories! Check it out!

A made a video on "How we made Halo 3: The Storm"

I play through the mission, talk about the design process, and chat with other Bungie devs that worked on the mission.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype

is this anything

[Enfu @enfu]

A bit ironic but the kanna tool now holds similar nostalgia vs just using a planar machine as fountain pen, long form, and other analog.
Also arguing for the planar machine is also used for pro-AI.

@mobs2r @_goldec Aww nice!

@meganroseruiz Fan of your work! Own one of your originals. I disagree you’re great keep at it!

@DougTenNapel Watched the whole video and way more convincing and human. Tweets sound terse and judgmental but the talking to camera really humanizes your point. Thanks for sharing.

@theblackvault @FountainCartoon @tupacabra I think plagiarism has been acceptable.
We can appreciate Fan Art and stop when we hear cover bands busking on the streets. They also profit without paying royalties. Often even knowingly. It’s like those Fan Artists who post the ‘don’t take pic’ sign above DTIYS Pokemon.

[Enfu @enfu]

Pretty much.
Explore AI, make Fan Art, launch OF, make TikToks, explore the edges of what’s acceptable, be a corporate mainline white collar artist, be a marginalized sloppy street painter, explore the entire spectrum of expressions.

[Doug TenNapel @DougTenNapel]

I'm not really addressing those surface issues: what looks good, what is preferable, what is fashionable, popular or unpopular. I've just studied art history and for over 100 years artists have experimented (like scientists) on the question, "What is art?"

The answer was always to lean on freedom, experimentation and crazy attempts, stuff where Ai fits well within the definition. It's just another new thing and to exclude it has not been part of our vocabulary. To allow dildo art, cans of human shit and empty rooms or unmade beds to be heralded by the highest levels of art only to say "Ai can't be art" shows an ignorance of our history by a bunch of woke, hysterical digital artists.

One thing we should all know about the arts is that when anyone comes in and says, "You shouldn't do Ai" we give them the finger. I'm a non-conformist and the anti-Ai bros can eat me.

@rukizzel You still show up first in line for things man? Good times!

[Enfu @enfu]

Stay open and curious about how the world works.
Keep observing the world and study fundamentals.
Ground yourself in analog mediums: put pen to paper.
Explore all tools available to you.

[DANN© @DannPetty]

You don’t need to create something with AI today or else your career is over.

Don’t let the fomo and fear mongers get to you.

I think you should try (+ learn) it though, not out of fear, but out of curiosity and advancing your skills as we should always be doing every week.

[Enfu @enfu]

Hard agree!
New tools will always be made. Pick it up and learn it just like you would pick up any new medium.

[c o r e y y y ✦ @reyyystation]

It feels like a WALL recently went up in reality like "this is how it is now"-- but no. "AI" is a big scary thing, and millions of people could end up using or relying on it-- but I think the "old ways" will always persevere. And true work + talent will keeping shining bright.

[Enfu @enfu]

Quite the flex knowing there are tons of digital shortcuts we’ve been accustomed to.
The best way to combat AI if that’s the hill you’re going to die on is go analog.
I’m no animator and also don’t have this kind of patience.

I see a lot of ‘no they’re not’ from anti AI folks and it helped point to the beating heart of what bothers me about that. It’s so very gatekeepey.

Just spend your energy creating not gate keeping.

engineers are artists now thanks to AI
