Grand Theft Auto delayed?! 😱 I don’t even know how to react considering this has never happened on any of their previous releases…

Is this a wild Candlejack reference? Better tell everyone to avoid saying Candlejack. Hey everyone! Don’t say Candleja–

Oh how bizarre. Interesting solution. I couldn’t make sense of it considering the rest of the image was authentic.

I know it isn’t, but their plate looks like it was horribly mangled by AI

This is a really unique approach to the challenge. I hope they find a way to make it durable. Right now, it looks like someone could easily hook onto and yank on the strings, ruining what I’d imagine is a really delicate mechanism.

I foresee it being a hands-off display in any public/consumer setting until they figure that out.

This is the primary reason I quickly stopped using AI art. I was always settling and it was never my idea.

The only way I’ve found it to be useful is promotional images for social media at work. Stuff that no one is paying attention to anyway. And even then, I sometimes have to fight it a couple times to get what I need.

I’ve never seen AI art that was inspired.

Are you even a programmer if you don’t just do everything through ed?

MY ANUS IS BLEEDING

You’re specifically asking about B-Movies here. They’ll grab whoever the heck fills the chair.

If it sounds good enough for the story to be told and trick someone into watching it, the goal was achieved. Time for the next movie!

Most of the time, if the dialog is delivered and actors are on set, that’s really all that matters for tax purposes.

I think the truth of it is, good sound engineering costs money, time, or both. I both ran sound and did sound design for local stage theater and I was shocked at how little the designers knew how to make their transitions seamless and avoid clipping, resonant frequencies, static, and a whole mess of other issues, many of which need fixes during recording rather than post.

It took me about 5 years working with audio software before I was making stuff for other people but a lot of other people have the confidence to learn their skill working with live projects, project result be damned. I go back and listen to my early stuff and I hear all sorts of mistakes I didn’t even know I was making.

Access to good hardware/software can also be a major detriment. I’ve had to sacrifice many design ideas due to available tools. When at the end of the day, it comes down to bad audio vs no audio at all, there’s an obvious winner.

Neon RGB with lots of tricks feels very San Francisco RUSH 2049/Nitronic Rush/Distance. Take a look at those. If it’s not them, let me know how they differ. Racing games are my jam, so I should be able to help you track this down.

And that’s just it. In the past, you would have contacted a branding firm and paid someone with expertise to do all that for you. Now people think, “Why pay a branding firm when AI can do it in 5 minutes?”

I work in an industry that deals with customer logos almost exclusively. I now get at least one person a week bringing in garbage-tier art they made in Canva or whatever that isn’t made to any standard at all, so they have tons of thin lines, gradients, blurring, etc. Shocker, AI only thinks about making it visually appealing when it won’t translate to a one-color, doesn’t have PMS tones to base it on, no simplified version, etc.

People think making a logo is just that. Just the image itself. They don’t think past what’s in front of them.

Believe it or not, every original joke you’ve ever heard came from a human brain in one way or another.

If you’re new to it, my personal recommendation is OPNsense for the router OS and UniFi for the AP. You can run the controller software from OPNsense directly through a plugin making management pretty simple.

You have to get industrial hardware built to last. I picked up an all-metal network appliance back in 2015 and it’s still kicking. Handles gigabit just fine as well. Here’s a random example of the type of thing I got (the exact one I got went out of sale years ago): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FKMJGD6/

You also end up having to split out your Wi-Fi to a dedicated access point this way for another ~$80, but you end up with a rock-solid setup that you can upgrade the software on year over year. I’ve ran at least 3 different OSs at this point since I’ve owned it and it’s handled them all perfectly. I’ve only had to upgrade my Wi-Fi AP once in that time.

If it’s serious enough, I’m sure they could trace it back with a request to the ISP. I’d have to imagine they keep a log of everything.
