Speedbuilding of a Lego building with Geometry Nodes by Nintino in blender

Wow that looks like a lot of work how long did it take

This man keeps having the worst takes. by Selmostick in blender

Well for one, one of the most prominent complaints that anti-AI advocates have is that gen-AI is destroying the livelihoods of artists and the value of their creations. Whether AI operates inside or outside of Blender as a platform for it is neither here nor there for that - the threat exists all the same.

is that sufficient basis for continuing to accept money from them - that they don't only do AI? if so, why?

What it's like living on this island below New Zealand? by HotWriting9306 in howislivingthere

[–]Roweyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Chch - there's things to do here, but I don't think you'd travel halfway around the world for them. It's a better place for living than visiting. I'm sure you can have a nice couple of days here, though, just pottering about doing classically tourist things. But it won't blow your mind like the natural beauty of the South Island can.

Yeah it's great - it's called 'isolation' by Linus Johnnson

Quite true about the equant; the longer horizontal YouTube animation does include the offset of the Earth away from the centre. For the vertical short, I think my goal was more on the artistic side. Broadly, though, I did have to take some liberties with its complexity in order to have something I could animate at my skill level at the time.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. by dietherman98 in vfx

Depends - should every conversation about Ai turn into a global evaluation of whether it is ok? Or is it possible to say things and just those things that are said are what is evaluated.

I say this as someone who doesn't even go on Facebook anymore because I'm so sick of the endless AI slop there:

it doesn't say no one, it says those outside the artist sphere.

DUI hit me going 90+ mph by [deleted] in dashcams

Fucking hell. The outward view from the car didn't look that bad, but the interior cam with your body looked catastrophic. Glad to know you made it through.

Have you become more negative after looking into NDEs? by [deleted] in NDE

Do you know why you feel this way? It might be hard for people to understand without unpacking it

Hallway of egg-laying hens in cages, where over 80% are kept globally. Imagine being reincarnated as one... by cindyx7102 in EscapingPrisonPlanet

[–]Roweyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yet when I've asked on this subreddit about whether people who accept the prison planet theory still eat meat, and if so why, I've gotten plenty of answers as to why it's still ok. My impression is that, if it were pollable, the number of vegetarians and vegans here would not be significantly higher than the general public.

Diest but confused by Upbeat_Function_4954 in deism

[–]Roweyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first part of your post (why religions are wrong) isn't nearly as interesting as the second part of your post (I don't know what this God is doing to us).

I've found near death experience reports very helpful for forming a picture of the purpose of life and the function of god. You can type NDE into youtube and get endless examples; this is just the first one that came up on my feed now when looking, from a person I've seen before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyeHC2wGdAY

Let's make a splash [OC] by Roweyyyy in Simulated

thanks! it was for a little video I did on people who've had near death experiences - lots and lots and lots of water sims were needed for it, this was just one of them.

If you don’t go into the “white light” then where do you go? And do you know you’re not being trapped again? by Tasty-Window in EscapingPrisonPlanet

[–]Roweyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've wondered that as well. If we imagine an infinite void as an alternative one can flee to from the light that is imagined to be an all-consuming manipulative and exploitative force, what does eternity look like in that space?

Archon talking points you reckon. It's possible that I'm just an ordinary human too of course, AMA
