No The Robot

I was looking forward to the Xbox Ally but these reviews have me hesitating on getting one, and instead looking at the Steam Deck. However, the button / joystick layout is quite jarring.

Can anyone with a Steam Deck comment on the ergonomics and how comfy this layout is? Am I overthinking this?

I'm so tired man

Sometimes the same video I post on two different platforms gets COMICALLY different view counts, despite similar analytics.

On YouTube Shorts, the video got 2K views. Awesome! But compare that to TikTok where the same video has 4.2 MILLION views 😮

So post your stuff, you never know what’ll pop off

Breaking news: the "AI first" company is relying on the hard work of real human artists at Titmouse to give them high quality animation instead of using Generative AI because "AI first" is a meaningless slogan designed solely to get likes on LinkedIn.

Even Disney reportedly lacks enough data to train a top-tier AI video model Lionsgate's AI deal with startup Runway is moving slower than expected.

Oh totally, they're not suing because they're anti-AI, they're suing because someone else is using their data and THEY want to be the ones to use their data for their own models. But apparently even that's not enough for their models, so we'll see what happens the-decoder.com/even-disney-...

Like I've said before, GenAI will not be stopped by regulation or advocacy - it'll be stopped by copyright infringement. Disney, Universal, & Warner Bros are suing Midjourney, not because of their diffusion model, but bc of their stolen training data.

Best believe that if they win, OpenAI is next.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Opens to $10M Previews 'Infinity Castle' looks a lock to post the largest opening weekend for an anime film in North American history, passing 1999's 'Pokémon: The First Movie.'

'Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle' pulled in a staggering $10M in Thursday previews.
The film is on pace to break 'Pokémon's' 26-year-old North American opening weekend record and could pass that film as the highest-grossing anime film in NA history.

Maybe infinite content was a bad idea.

I'm sorry but the budget for this tech demo STILL being $30M feels like money laundering.

How are you using low-cost services like ChatGPT & Sora to generate all animation & assets, yet your budget is still 4 times more expensive than "Flow" (~$6M)?

Can't wait for Cannes to reject this movie lol

I just know that somewhere there’s a studio executive who has CONVINCED himself that the Gabby’s Dollhouse movie is going to be as successful as KPop Demon Hunters was this past weekend😬

I'd love to make a video about at least the 2nd movie but yeah I'm sure I'll also discuss this one too as part of that video!

James I need you to know that VFX artists work 12 hour days, pay insanely high premiums for health insurance, and in many cases make less than $20/hr. And it's even less outside the US. How much lower do you think costs can come down?

YouTube video by YouTube Movies Ne Zha

Just found out the first Ne Zha movie is FREE on YouTube? With the ORIGINAL MANDARIN DUB?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xdg2...

Oooh I'll check it out

I really should watch more anime

Why is there no addon for Firefox that concatenates "-ai" at the end of a Google search URL so it automatically hides AI content? Do I need to make this myself?

If you told me The Bad Guys earned $22.2M for their 2nd movie, coming in 2nd place at the box office, I wouldn't believe you. And yet...

'The Bad Guys 2' Animation, Effects Bosses On Pushing 2D-CG Style DreamWorks animators reveal how 'The Bad Guys 2' amps up its hybrid style with hand-drawn effects, anime-inspired flair, and ambitious action set pieces.

'The Bad Guys 2' tuned up its hand-drawn flair and embraced classic anime inspirations. “We started watching more anime and brought more people on to throw even crazier anime ideas at us,” says effects supervisor Matt Baer.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Sorry for the scare! 😅

For legal reasons this is a joke, KPDH was amazing

Just clowning on the “critiques” I’ve seen for non-Sony animated films, KPDH is a perfect film

lol I’m just trolling, I’ve seen this exact argument for Pixar films

I can't believe KPOP DEMON HUNTERS uses BEAN MOUTH for their animation!! 😡😡😡

I'm so SICK of this trend! When will these studios actually TRY to come up with a NEW art style??? The design is SO UGLY. Give us something ORIGINAL, we don't want this WOKE GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! #netflix #animation #kpop

Siri is broken af #iOS26

One Grubhub commercial has done more damage to the modern Western animation industry than anything else in recent memory.

It’s handed the loud uninformed critics fresh ammo to accuse Pixar’s recent films of looking “AI-generated” / “soulless,” which kills the reach of great stories like #Elio.

YouTube video by No The Robot Are We Too Hard on Live Action Remakes?

Are we too hard on Live-Action Remakes? Clearly these films are very popular despite the amount of criticism from the Internet. So are they really an "insult to animation" or are they as harmless as a Broadway adaptation?

If you ever want to know how lowly animation is seen by the rest of the film world, look no further than the NY Times survey of the 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century based on a survey of 500 filmmakers, stars & "influential" film fans.

Just 4 animated films, and 3 are Pixar. 🙄🙄
