Yep, I’m THAT lion (and roo!) from DragonCon! On weekends, I’m a hugger-for-hire as various mascots. And hi ladies, I’m single.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Sleeping…
My brain dreams up that FWA 2028's theme is "Fit for a King', and that I'm the GOH.
Then, realizes this would annoy me because it complicates Mother's Day.
Then, realizes that annoying me is a pastime of FWA.
Brain wakes me up because its predicted the next FWA theme.

Another year gone by, time to check in on the #ai slop machine. 2026 has seen the rise of local models.
My 9060XT has cooked up a #GenAI lasagna... The #AIgeneratedvideo represents the final product of 4 models, 3 of which were local.

Fast-forward 2 years and... HOLY %$#&!! 🤯
Just six months ago, Meta AI was "animating" 4s of nightmare fuel.
Sora 2 has blown my mind. 15s of video. Consistent drawing between cuts. Fully generated dialogue. But still struggles with paws.
This is #AIgeneratedvideo by #Sora2
3½ years ago, a server would yield four cartoonish images (see QRT). Now, it is possible (w/ patience) to generate photorealistic images & video on a midrange GPU. Though, it massively sucks that datacenter demand has inflated prices of said GPUs.

I remember when the Sega Dreamcast launched for $199.
Feels like a dream... 😭
BREAKING: A new report claims that Xbox expects its next-generation console to cost as much as $1,800 and is currently targeting a 2028 release. A new handheld is also rumored to launch next year.
