Why do they never release these outfits as a skin, Varesa has a mighty need

Were I in Jensen's shoes I would be faithful to my wife, and encourage her to sell my secrets to China instead of outsourcing that job to a third party.

I can’t believe how well the Da Vinki’s have weathered the times. Great work, boys.

Always lead with the fresh diaper, catcher’s mitt style. Assume the gun is loaded and could and will go off at any second.

Cartoonito went away before the merger even, so it's sort of moot to even discuss the redundancy

It is selfish and greedy. Read the rest of the posts for context?

That's a nice screenshot of ToonBoom they've got there. If their claims were real it'd be really easy to hand over one of those and see how they set things up (my guess is there's not enough source files to do proper retakes on anything)

I actually dunno why they've made that one streaming-only other than management is slowly abandoning conventional TV channels in the US (which seems crazy to me, but what do I know).

My closest guess is it was cheaper for them to contract it that way for some reason.

This show isn't a strict revival, it's like a retooling for Preschool audiences. It would've fit in really well on 'Cartoonito', but CN US has shuttered that so they don't really have anything focusing on that demographic anymore.

Bold assumption that most people handle the parenting job well either

Nahhh you're good! Twitter is just a terrible place for this kind of communication. :D

Sure, point is I'm not defending Spindle and none of my comments are intended to do that, I'm trying to have a nuanced conversation about the awkward shift from small productions to big ones (and it is the fault of those in charge when they take advantage of that lag).

Not at scale, no.

Also, obligatory: you’re viable as a tool, got ‘em

Well, no—but it’s a clear labor violation.

I’ve done work for friends for free, that’s also not “slave labor” it’s volunteer work.

But productions love to take advantage of this chummy atmosphere when you “love” the product, and Spindle is clearly abusing it at this stage.

This is doable in 7 months with a sufficiently dedicated team.

Pretending they cleaned up and colored those frames is staged as all get out though, and tells me they’re fibbing about the rest of it. At BEST they drew keyframes and had the AI run cleanup and “interpolation”.

At a phone resolution, maybe. Nevermind the consistent hallucinations. Nevermind the lack of granular control. “Longer videos”, you have to stop thinking like a hyperscaler and start thinking what would make the system viable as a tool. It requires lateral thinking.

Dang you can’t even tell where the room for growth should be? No wonder AI is cooked.

Moore’s Law hasn’t actually been keeping it pace for a long time now and that’s true of AI improvements as well.

Which would be fine but the current capex spend was kind of predicated on the growth not just staying the same but growing exponentially and it hasn’t.

This sequence was so fun with Mitya, too bad this functionality is probably over forever.

The Will Smith spaghetti "look how far we've come" videos are a great example, they have to go back 3 years for it to seem impressive. Everything plateau'd a year and change ago and the increases have been extremely incremental despite exponential investment.
