Niche problem solver. Spending weeks making an app to make little league lineups bc doing it by spreadsheet twice a week was a pain

Experiment with @runwayml

Converted one of the Tailgater characters from 2D drawing to a 3D character in gpt

Then used Act-Two in Runway to record and animate it

https://t.co/J6yjbSWlBW mixes prompting with a casino slot machine. $10 for 1000 coins that are burned in 10 mins. Yep

AI Agents are like casino slot machines. Sit in front of them all day and you will eventually get a small win.

Whoever is posting about AI taking animation jobs has never tried to create a multi scene, multi character animation using ChatGPT and runway

Nothing is more frustating

[Ryan Maloney @rymaloney]

Creativity, like body building, requires as much rest and recovery as it does time under tension. Ideas connect during rest automatically the way muscle fibers magically merge

Animating using AI feels like driving a Ferrari in 6 feet of mud for 100 miles

[Ryan Maloney @rymaloney]

Attempting to make a 17min animated video for Logic using AI.

AI’s inability to keep consistent character designs in every shot is forcing me to draw/build characters manually to avoid the frustration of having AI try to create it

vibe animating, similar to vibe coding, you can't take anything to the finish line if you don't have taste or experience using the proven tools

@iamjasonlevin @willdepue Second this

@forloopcodes @YashPioneers Tons of indie artists on tt. Many hit songs start on tt and drive people to Spotify to find the song. Tt is your best bet to connect w musicians imo, auto pull their music in to your app so when you message them, it’s easy to see the value

Today marks the day the allergic reaction to AI art starts disappearing. Still obvious, but very impressive.

@adobe gambled on software in the cloud, in order to survive they will need to gamble on some sort of Adobe Agent. Simple interface, type or talk your request, Adobe software creates it in the background and gives you an editable file. Agent guides you to final output

[Ryan Maloney @rymaloney]

Still deciding on kickstarter vs. cold launching this game. Fun part (thinking, prototyping, drawing done), uncomfortable part (real world exposure) coming up

@evanlapointe It’s sample learning, like a child would do. Try a tactic, if they get a reward they remain interested and perhaps try so many tactics they find themselves needing strategy.

[Ryan Maloney @rymaloney]

@businessbarista This is a great start. A lot of the friction happens when taking content and getting ready to post, that’s where a lot of creators self doubt creeps in. The most posting you can do from distribute without having to launch a social app, the better.

LinkedIn is morphing into business tiktok. I expect a rebrand to Linked or Link in the future to merge corporate speak w tiktok edits
