- jokes aside, good for her. She had big balls for what she did. Bigger balls than even the Thai and Philippine contestants!_niko
- Agree... She had big balls. And maybe very hairy ones.Gabriel
- I like the floral arrangement from Zebulon 6.CyBrainX
- is she wearing a Halloween mask?Krassy
- Why are yiu all acting like you know who this is? Am I missing something?monospaced

- I can't belive this one. So absolutely gutted. One of the best to do it and a top top guy.Wolfboy
- ach shite. learned how to play bass mostly from learning mani's stone roses and primal scream basslineskingsteven
- Oh man this is sad. His bass line in I wanna be adored hooked me the first time I heard it and was life changing. My first taste of the Manchester sound.fooler
- I finally got to see Stone Roses live at Madison Square Garden back in 2019 (?) and it remains one of the best shows I've seen.stoplying
- WTF?!sab
- So shocked and saddened by this awful news. My favorite bass player! I lost my hearing (literally) listening to Daybreak, I am the Resurrection, Fools Gold, etcKrassy
- Shit. Too young. RIP a proper legend.MrT
- falcadia
- Awful. His 12 yo twins lost their mum recently too.mort_
- @stoplying, I think I saw them at MSG around that time too. I wonder if we saw the same show.CyBrainX
- @stoplying, Correction, it was 2016. https://youtu.be/-WG…CyBrainX
- Met him outside an LA venue where he performed w Primal Scream (killer show as part of the XTRMNTR tour) and he listed me for the next show in San Francisco =)Krassy

- +1. Very good and not spoiled by the typical Netflix exposition dumps.MrT
- have the last episode to watch this evening. Been great. Some people on Reddit have commented on her annoying acting, but surely it's just her character?Ianbolton
- She's very spontaneous in interviews and knows how to channel that into neurotic characters. And she's not precious with how she appears. Love her.spl33nidoru
- ^ yeah, she's great. Think some of the hate is just misogynistic bullshit. Can't wait to see how this finale plays outIanbolton

Artificial Intelligence
So, in the end, AI is this: something that doesn't wash dishes but draws nonsense.
- Sounds like my ex wifeYakuZoku
- Now fully accessible inside photoshop with the latest updateTheDrago
- I smell long unemployment lines for the people that don't understand and or hate AI.utopian
- It's nice but at the moment they only offer NB Pro via Api Key instead of an easier subscription model.NBQ00
- thats the smell inside the smell of long unemployment lines in the creative industries in general.neverscared
- i doubt its people not understanding it... since the skill level to operate it is not exactly the highest.neverscared
- not that photoshop is any more complex... pshop its an idiot piece of software compared to any 3D software like houdini, blender etc.neverscared
- Fun Fact: the precious software that creatives swear by and worship has been
AI-powered for decades.
Shhhh...don't tell nobody.utopian - decades ? Adobe released its first AI-powered features in Photoshop, based on its Sensei platform, in February 2020.neverscared
- In Ps alone content-aware fill, face tools in liquify. auto tone, color, levels, smart selection, vectorisation. All 'AI' - Markov chains and fields,kingsteven
- SVMs, forests. All the same shit that formed the basis for diffusion form the basis of every 'smart' tool in every bit of software for years.kingsteven
- all we are seeing the last few years is a break though in processing power which allows us to generate images and a scaling (arguably to meet consumer demand)kingsteven
- i've used nanobanana within PS and firefly upscaler 10+ times already today to fix photos from a conference and no one will ever know.kingsteven
- yuekit3
- Is this the last release?
I remember from weeks ago it was pretty boring :/grafician - ^ Yes, yes it is :(grafician
- Sounds great to me, but I've always loved Squarepusher.CyBrainX
- "pretty boring" haha. Graf's trolling never gets boring, does it?Ianbolton
- What trolling, this release is boring
But you are welcome to disagree and fuck off toografician - Not the last one, it's an EP he released a couple years ago.yuekit
- Sorry Graf, I forgot you're not the local Troll round here anymore. And yeah I disagree. Can't believe this is 5 years old!Ianbolton
- I was ref to this one
https://www.youtube.…grafician - But I guess back then these tracks would've been massivegrafician
- patheticcanoe
- i feel like you've argued yourself in and out of existence on this one Graf. Stay foolish, brother!Ianbolton
- Midi Sans Frontieres (Avec Batterie) here is great. I had it on rotation a while back, so gladdened to be minded of it again.Nairn
- then again the fact that I did knew Squarepusher had released something new (even if it was old stuff) and you didn't says a lotgrafician
- weren't you @ianbolton making new music? can't wait for that to judgegrafician
- I said this was 5 years old. Why are you being such a bellend? Oh yeah, because you are one!Ianbolton
- Is this the last release?

RIP of the day
Today marks 50 years since the official death of the dictator Franco; may he burn slowly in hell!

- why?NBQ00

Artificial Intelligence
The Prompt Engineer Is the Artist of Our Age
Just as the camera once challenged painters, AI is giving rise to a new kind of creativity.- here's an upvote that will be cancelled out by a factor of 10 from the old dogs hereYakuZoku
- only question remains ... what is coming next after the prompt engineer ?neverscared
- prompt engineer is yesterdays news... for every futurist i guess.neverscared
- i smell subliminal copyright advocacysted
- I'm an old dog who uses the tools like crazy—I just don't credit myself as a "creative" or "technical" wizard. I'm asking a computer to solve my problems...PonyBoy
- The camera challenged the painter in the sense of a new way to capture an image... AI just 'does it' for you. You simply 'ask' it to output the pic you want.PonyBoy
- it's kind of ballsy to call yourself an 'engineer' or 'artist' if you're merely typing "the right words" <3PonyBoy
- Kinda like how a camera captures a scene with a button push and doesn’t require hand rendering.monospaced
- u can probably dance the words in with motioncapture and a 3d coordinate point system mapped with words...neverscared
- mostly we will be outprompted by cheap chinese prompters and low chinese energy cost.neverscared
- lol prompt engineers are so 2023, the new title is image uploader_niko
- It's great to be a pureist, but in the end, a client cares about 3 things, the output, how fast he can get it, and how cheap he can get it forYakuZoku
- Can’t argue with that. :)PonyBoy
- the cheap thing is gonna backfire though.. coz there is always someone who is cheaper .. especiially when it comes to labour or energy cost.neverscared
- maybe that camera - painting lacks substance... because its a hardware switch. while with a.i we still use computersneverscared
- like the discussion. these are things i think about too.renderedred
- the cheap thing they will use dudes in India that use AIYakuZoku
- that will get rich eventually...renderedred
- never understood the camera analogy... at least with a camera you either moving about, structuring a scene whether in studio or location...jonny_quest_lives
- "tHe cAMeRa dOes aLl tHe wOrK" GTFOH: https://www.youtube.…jonny_quest_lives
- It is not particularly difficult to learn, so anyone working in that space is already in a race to the bottom with regard to salaryneverscared
- anyway it its... it cant be the worst thingneverscared
- milfhunter6
- Is this AI?palimpsest
- no ..its a jpgneverscared
- It's not a jpg, it's not the photons, it's not the light, it's the perceptual experience.
It's not a thing, it's a becoming.palimpsest - It's also AI.
The more you know.palimpsest - Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.neverscared
- Live, Laugh, Love.palimpsest
- Previously https://www.qbn.com/…mort_
- Not AI (probably)
https://i.haasie.com…CyBrainX - https://i.haasie.com…palimpsest
- Ok. This beyond the other points towards something magickal. Good use of AI. 10/10 would view again.Nairn
- Mediocre AI shitOBBTKN
- the rugs really ties the room togetherneverscared
- Don't shoot the messenger!milfhunter
- I came to say what neverscared did, so I'm left with a Homer "Doh"!raf
