The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

for the love of god i’m begging people to say “genAI” instead of “AI” when that’s what you mean

AI is an ancient and glorious and critical tradition and muddying language makes talking about things very hard sometimes

Its been a few years since I did any keyframe creature animation, so my most recent personal project has been exactly that :)

I referenced Daniel Fotheringham’s quadruped blog quite a bit while learning his workflow, it was a lot of fun :)

This is cool

If there was a way to filter out users you already follow this could be a useful way to discover people

I don’t think it’s been great for video games to be on the stock market

lol, this is a spectacular own goal, up there with Unity

I'm glad studios that rely on Animate aren't getting the rug pulled out from them immediately but you can bet that everyone will be moving to other software as soon as possible

It's probably the best way this could have worked out in the end

Man, I miss the times when AI was a cool and exciting idea, instead of the joy-sucking slop machine we have now

Hey Internet! I and a handful of others were laid off today, so I'll be looking for whatever animation work exists out there. I've got 20+ years of experience, so hit me up if you need that on your teams!

Also other people were impacted. Can provide many roles!
