On-waar-schijnlijk. In Borgerhout stemde 67 procent progressief en is de PVDA de grootste partij. Maar na 12 jaar samenwerking beslist Groen vandaag om Borgerhout uit te verkopen aan de N-VA voor een paar schepenposten. antwerpen.pvda.be/nieuws/reactie…

these are not clean meshes

making a 3D model and running a render through genAI to do a "final detail pass" and trying to present that as your work is very misleading. if you're a 3D artist who feels pressured to "adapt" absolutely don't do this and im going to give you reasons why

At NeurIPS this year, I was invited to talk about my perspective on generative AI. I spoke on the parallels between AlphaGo’s impact on professional Go, how that connects with what’s happening in creative industries today, & a bunch of musings on art, AI, and meaning. 1/🧵

Morgen moet ik weer aan het werk, en ik kijk er extreem tegenop. Zoals elk jaar na de Kerstvakantie, en elk jaar wordt het erger. Vandaag een persoonlijk verhaal over wáárom ik me zo voel: 🧵Werken in tijden van arbeidsethos en kapitalisme, waar niemand over na wil denken

Glad it looks like we'll have a former Jacobin editor as our local MP, not the granddaughter of Hitler's finance minister

It's profoundly depressing seeing all the Studio Ghibli-styled AI output tacitly being used to promote OpenAI's latest product. Miyazaki famously called AI-produced art "an insult to life itself"—and this in turn is an insult to one of our greatest-ever animators and artists

these things are truly sloppification machines — the end result of this nonsense is not that everyone can now recreate the sense of wonder that Miyazaki's films would bring, but that this entire style will rapidly become synonymous with slop. incredibly bleak.

gentle reminder about Miyazaki's thoughts on this bullshit you're all posting

Art has always been accessible

The left wing impulse to read books and think

To kick off International Workers' Day, here's a thread of #MayDay posters from around the world. Let's start with a 1973 May Day poster from Czech artist František Kopenec.

The anarchists came to my parents house and built my dad a ramp after his stroke for free and refused payment I hope more anarchists come to the neighbourhood

colonial atrocities so horrifying that the King of Belgium condemns them.
