@LBC @NickFerrariLBC Turn the aircon off in his studio then see what he says.

@hughlaurie @edzitron @jan_murray As burns go, this is nuclear-level. Well played (Hugh Laurie)!

@KaroulSahil Anyone mad that you spoiled the shiny new rectangle needs to get some perspective.

Dear @BBCiPlayer graphics team, please stop using spoilers in your Olympics thumbnails copy. "Canada Outclass Czech Republic", "Team USA Dominate Latvia", etc. are difficult to ignore when I'm trying to search for the full coverage button.

I just learned that Americans can't pronounce "twat" properly.

You won't look good or evil in the new Fable, but there's a good (or evil) reason why:

@thetylerdaniel Who is this? Why is he showing us his colostomy bag?

@CaptvArt @dami_digital This. I've been running a Synology NAS with a small footprint for a year and it's been great.

"Reshoot"

[PJ Ace @PJaccetturo]

To everyone wondering why there are no AI movies or TV shows yet; the economics and the technology don’t yet support it.

The tech evolves so fast that you’d constantly have to reshoot your film.

We’ve tried this and it’s 4+ months and $300k+ to make a 30 minute AI episode that looks outdated the moment you launch it and you would have been far better off just making a few commercials instead.

Finding financiers for narrative content can take years because there are so few buyers.

There’s near unlimited demand for ai brand commercials. You start at $5k, hire real filmmakers, teach them the tools, scale your team and raise prices as fast as you can to avoid a race to the bottom.

But what this guy in my original tweet doesn’t understand is that Hollywood and Advertising have always created art on top of economic engines.

The smartest thing you can do to build the next Dreamworks or Pixar is attract talent and clients, and you need consistent, successful projects to do that.

The correct short term play with AI film right now is to build a very profitable commercial agency and then as the tech evolves, you pivot to short form branded episodic content and then eventually long form episodic content.

If you want to know what building this looks like, follow along because I have been building this exact playbook in public and will continue to do so until we’re a nine-figure company in 5 years ✌🏻

@atrupar Can we collectively agree that none of these chumps are educated enough to speak authoritatively about anything?

[Chris Jones @Simplecubed]

@chromaspring @TvanHelsdingen The ethical dilemma of a model's source is constantly bearing down on me but I sadly feel like this is the way things are headed. I might have to relent and tool up soon. Any hints at integrating Houdini into the pipeline?

[Chris Jones @Simplecubed]

@LinusEkenstam I'm old. Does "lit" mean "completely shit and unusable?"

[Chris Jones @Simplecubed]

@RohanCreates Sad to admit it all went downhill after Houdini IV: The Revengering.

Oh so we're just making ads for free then?

[Justine Moore @venturetwins]

This insane Nike Halloween ad was entirely made with AI.

I can honestly say that I was not expecting the twist ☠️

@ilirbeqiri This is like my nightmare about quaternions. Lovely work.

[Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex]

In huge positive news, the Australian government just ruled out handing the work of their country’s creatives to AI companies for free 🙌

They resisted the well-funded tech lobby & shut down proposals to upend copyright law.

This shows what creatives organising en masse against unfair proposals can achieve. Huge respect to the Australian creatives who resisted.

Big day for creatives & those who oppose exploitation everywhere.

Other governments should do the same!

@JamesNaughton98 That door design is chef's kiss. Nice work.

[Chris Jones @Simplecubed]

@c_valenzuelab Sounds like a skill issue to me.

[Chris Jones @Simplecubed]

@Rahll @JustinCappello See it's this kind of thing that makes me think AI bros don't even know what they're looking at.
