Christopher Nolan says that the ‘SINNERS’ river dance scene (“Rocky Road to Dublin”) is “the most spectacular musical inversion since Kubrick's “Singin in the Rain” from ‘A CLOCKWORK ORANGE’

Concept Artist here, the "AI hate" directed at Larian Studio is 100% ignorant and bad faith virtue-signaling.

Artists are NOT against AI usage as a tool, we're against Generative AI that was trained on real artworks and mass-produced "slops" that imitated our hard work and then marketed as our replacement.

In pre-production, the art team would grab random pics off the internet and other games to create a general mood board for aesthetics and "vibe" that fit the art direction (There are more nuances than this, I'm describing this in the most simplified way possible)

A mood board of a character may include several pictures of other videogames or anime shows, dozens of object with "texture references" for parts of their attire, multiple reference pictures of relevant objects such as animals or historical weapons or even other character artwork made for other games; ALL of which are randomly drawn from the internet and put together for the purpose of creating an overall aesthetic for a design that will become original in its own way inspired by its references and the artist's own creativity and originality to visualize it when they create the design by doing ART.

Larian Studio mentioned using AI to streamline this process; an actively menial labor of "looking for relavant and cool pics on the internet" in essence.

There is zero reason why AI speeding up this process is a bad thing; it is essentially the same as someone asking Grok for facts they could have spent a few hours reading through Wikipedia pages.

None of the pictures grabbed by either the AI or the art team in this process are being exploited for any monetary gain since they're simply inspiration and visual direction, this has been standard practice in the industry for decades.

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI.

We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do.

I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists.

We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison.

I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more:

We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

“After further review, we have reversed the call of a touchdown on the field. Isaiah Likely did not do a gainer flip after catching the football”

[All 22 Films @All_22_NFL_Cuts]

No one at the NFL level has any idea what a catch is, especially as it relates to the EZ. How is that control, then two feet down in the EZ isn't a TD? Certainly a new standard if three feet are needed in order to establish a TD.

One of the play calls of the year so far in my opinion

“Now have Lamar Jackson practice with the scout team so no one has a clue what’s going on”

@MoonWielderDA @Alex_1228__ This has been the case for 75% of his career

[Pro Football Network @PFN365]

Lamar Jackson is the 7th QB in NFL history to record 2+ TD passes and a passer rating of 90+ in 10 straight games (including playoffs). 🔥

He joins:

- Tom Brady
- Drew Brees
- Patrick Mahomes
- Peyton Manning
- Philip Rivers
- Aaron Rodgers

OH MY FUCKING GOD LAMAR DID IT

[Louie @Louiedip92]

@keinnamefurdich @wethairjoel I interpreted the end of the game being her finally accepting Joel’s death. IMO she forgave Joel the second she went on a murder quest for him.

The first trailer for ‘PREDATOR: BADLANDS’ has been released.

In theaters on November 7.

@youtoastbread @dajigsawman @cybxrgravx I see what you’re saying. I’m assumed he was just addressing her in the show and not how she’s portrayed in the game.

[Louie @Louiedip92]

@youtoastbread @dajigsawman @cybxrgravx No I absolutely understand what you’re saying. I’m saying that the show is not going to be a copy and paste of the game. So Abby being sadistic is a choice they made for the Show.

[Louie @Louiedip92]

@youtoastbread @dajigsawman @cybxrgravx I meant as in go play the game again if you want to experience the same thing again. The reason the show works well is that it does change and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. If it was a copy and paste of the game then why even make a show in the first place
