Today’s my 30th birthday! I just launched a crowdfund for a very personal retro sci-fi short film I’m making. It would mean the world if you watched this video and considered supporting the link below 🐠🧠♥️

“Fixing” logos as design content is so annoying, like yeah no shit it’s easy to rip one off when you’re making up your own brief that has nothing to do with the actual goals of the organization and don’t have to get the buy in of dozens of people

Y’all. I’m launching the crowdfund campaign for my first big narrative short film project on my 30th birthday. 8/20. A few months ago I gathered some of my closest friends to shoot a proof concept that sets the tone and scene. So stoked to finally share

New: a leaked document obtained by 404 Media shows that billion dollar AI video generator 'Runway' had a company-wide effort to rip off YouTube videos without permission, as well as pirated films. We've posted the full spreadsheet of training data 404media.co/runway-ai-image-…

We already knew LAION-5B, used to train many of the biggest AI image models, contained CSAM. Now it emerges it also contains photos of children with identifiable information (names, location etc.). Of only 5,850 images sampled, 190 were identifiable photos of children. This included screenshots from unlisted YouTube videos and photos from web pages not indexed by Google. That is, images that were meant to be private. AI image generators trained on LAION-5B have famously been used extensively to generate CSAM. We now know that photos of real children have been used to build these models, without permission. theguardian.com/technology/a…

Happy belated launch day to the Regulation Podcast crew! Super honored to have worked with them on this in a post-RT world. My goal was to bridge something from the F**KFACE styleguide— creating a new path for the brand while giving a nod to its legacy. Asterisk was the winner 👑
