Got the work thing done before it was due… the third time. Listen, everyone else wasn’t finishing it either (it was 56 hours of training that they expected us to do in our free time, they only recently started giving dedicated time for it)

All of the videos were gen ai, though. It was like ripping out teeth to finish. The uncanny expressions. The blinks and breaths were constant (I get it, you’re not alive so you need to keep convincing me. Please stop). The way it… would pause in places… that made no sense. Oh! And the Indian woman with a strong dialect, who had a black nose, and some minimalist hipster tattoos (guessing the model didn’t know how to interpret henna, nor had enough indian references). Almost as bad as the English man with a face full of slight pain and consternation, but trying to “smile” through it.

I decided to let a friend go instead of doing the self-destructive thing today, go me :)

But… But what if the destructive urge is the creative urge?

Is the wolf on the left doing the Sora smile from Kingdom Hearts?
