Senior Hard Surface Artist at Tripwire - Main art account is on Blue Sky

[Ed Greig @EdGreig_]

I hate to make this post, but I've been unemployed for 8 months now and my freelance work has totally dried up.

Things are getting pretty scary.

I'm a 3D hardsurface artist with 4+ years of experience working in games, manufacturing, and marketing.

Open to any opportunities.

⭕️ Israel intensified its attacks on the southern Lebanese city of Tyre on Tuesday, killing at least 17 people and wounding 50 more, according to Lebanese health authorities.

An airstrike on the al-Masaken neighborhood killed 9 people, while additional strikes hit other parts of the city. Israel also issued displacement orders covering large sections of Tyre, including refugee camps and the city’s historic Christian quarter.

@Doom_Squid hey, no argument there. I didn't read the comments tbh. this site is a dump. regardless, generative AI is shit for narrative storytelling, all moral and environmental concerns aside. Conflating criticism w threats is foolish tho. he responded w grace

[Ben Leary @Polygoblin]

@Doom_Squid you expect peers w legitimate criticism to retract everything when anybody anywhere sends a threat? that's unreasonable.

I hit 5 years at Riot Games last week. Commissioning fan art is one of my favorite things I get to do, so I gathered 23 pieces I’ve gotten to commission over the years for various projects. 🧵

old thing jhghg

[Ben Leary @Polygoblin]

@Doom_Squid People are celebrating an established director shunning generative AI after announcing a big generative AI venture. Not that complicated tbh. honestly not sure what the big deal is. Don't remember you stanning peer devs who've made similar moral bounds but maybe I missed it

[Ben Leary @Polygoblin]

@Doom_Squid interesting take

[Ben Leary @Polygoblin]

@Doom_Squid were the artists piling on threatening his family, or did you conflate these two groups? important distinction for your following

[Ben Leary @Polygoblin]

@Doom_Squid internet randos are not peers

@m0sstrx You guys finish drawings?

Let's stop calling generative AI just "AI".

Corps are counting on us not knowing what machine learning is while they slip genAI and LLMs in everything and whitewash it all. Everything is engineered so we stop trusting what is honest truth, in the world and in ourselves.

[Jorge R. Gutierrez @mexopolis]

I have decided to drop out of the AI program at Amazon. I will not be making a Punky Duck series. Actions speak louder than words.

My intent was to showcase artists, both new and seasoned, both inside and outside the studios, driving this new tech.

My sincerest apology to those I upset. I promise to do better moving forward. Thank you for your patience with me. I will try harder.
