In the 4 years I've been on Mastodon, I haven't seen many other filmmakers here. (I think I'm already following the maybe 3 that are actually here.) But if this post happens to reach any other filmmakers or screenwriters, I'd love to try and forge a film community on this platform. (I don't think there is an existing one? Please correct me if I'm wrong.) Film reviewers and movie fans are great too! 🎬

Check out this review of Shovel Up I've rarely seen such an impressive looking game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp9htXRBSS0

It's sponsored by Meta but I'm pretty sure this guy would have reviewed it for free. It's so fun. How much does a Meta VR headset cost? I could be shoveling right now

I decided to check out what's happening at Meta Horizon and on the homepage they're advertising this shovel game https://horizon.meta.com/world/733399513180174/

I take back everything I said about Meta this game looks amazing

New project: Doodle Scan https://rknight.me/blog/doodle-scan/

I went down a rabbit hole of maths, rgba values, crying, and relative luminance which is basically maths to make this. It's a background remover specifically for drawings and sketches oh and Jeff is back.

Thanks to @geekyaubergine for being smarter than me and pointing me in the right directions.

Our view of the universe keeps getting bigger, richer, deeper.

The latest sky survey from DESI (an experiment studying dark energy) covers 4 billion celestial objects & contains 5.6 trillion pixels. And it's open to anyone, if you want to take a look.

In a manner similar to how the set of all integers is smaller than the set of all real numbers, I suspect that the set of "good uses" of technology is smaller than the set of "bad uses".

Further, although I feel this less strongly, I suspect that at any given point in time, the set of all "good uses" of technology is finite. It's possible the "good uses" set grows over time, but it would always be finite.

I can't prove any of this. Just a feeling based on destruction being easier than creation, and you know, entropy.

Anyway, with this in mind, we'd always have to be ever watchful because I think It's very easy to accidentally a "bad uses" of technology when you don't have "good uses" clearly in mind. The odds are stacked against us.

I work in publishing. I don't know what you've heard, but if you use an AI to write your email, cover letter, or any part of your submission, it'll go straight in the fucking bin and you'll get blacklisted. You're insulting everyone who has taken the time to learn their craft.
