NIGHTBORNE is the first full test AI film I have made. It was made using Seedance 2.0. I've been experimenting with AI for a couple of years, and it's now at the point where I want to tackle a full feature in this format. This is a 13-minute test start. It was made with real concept artists, and features the faces and voices of 32 real people. Barley Studios will be my new AI studio for creating my own films, the way Oats Studios was for traditional film and VFX. @Barleystudiosai Full film…

One of the nice things about not having ads or any kind of revenue from my site is that I no longer get the diamond-pressure bum-hole puckering feeling I used to get when I had a hosting company and a site would go down. I don’t even have monitoring set up and it’s freeing.
But go kick an LLM in the dick for stealing so much of my shit that you can’t read it except in some inaccessible pay-for-wrongness shitty chat venue.

Yesterday, I ordered a new pair of hemp shoes from 8000kicks.
UPS says they had in in Leiria, Portugal 2 hours ago - and plan to deliver it to me BY END OF DAY. That's about 2000km in less than 12 hours.
I'm not sure if that means I have to clear the field outside our house for landing of a freight plane or a helicopter - or if I just should expect a giant crater.
