I figured I'd post a little bit of my Matrix Resurrections work here.
These were done under the production design of Hugh Bateup and Peter Walpole, and the direction of Lana Wachowski.
These are some designs from IO, including Niobe's keep and the Morpheus shrine.
Hope you enjoy!

Genuinely sickening to hear Anthropic's CEO suggest it will be the AI company "that society trusts and society believes can build the benefits the right way" when they
- downloaded 7 million pirated books
- raised $1 billion+ in funding off the back of models trained on pirated books
- continue to train on the work of millions of people without consent
- continue to lobby governments to let them do this
Dario Amodei says cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and mental illness will be relics of the past in less than a decade, and that "we can create an age of miracles"
“You know, if today we look at things like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, mental illness, these will be relics of the past in, I think, less than a decade."
"And I believe that the company which gets the risks right will also be the company that has the license to operate that society trusts and society believes can build the benefits in the right way."
"I think if we do this right, we can create an age of miracles where humanity is able to solve problems that have eluded us for millennia."
"We have to make sure that all the risks, all the ways that things can go wrong with this technology, we very carefully address those risks as we bring the benefits, and as we have a viable business at the same time.”
Silicon valley chuds realizing they don't live in reality.

Time to update your Blender! Besides the big features (DLSS, splats, dispersion, loop tools), here are my favorite underrated ones in 5.3 people haven't been talking about:
1. Undo in Edit Mode was fixed so you can undo modifier changes without it being weird.

The Blender Foundation and the online community proudly present Blender 5.3 🎉
This release wraps up 2026 with new features and improvements across the board. Highlights include:
🔸 Native support for 3D Gaussian splats.
🔸 A new DLSS denoiser in the Viewport on NVIDIA GPUs.
🔸 Asset libraries can now be shared as extensions, and the Extensions platform accepts asset libraries containing public domain (CC0) assets.
🔸 A new optional Projects system makes Blender aware of context beyond the open .blend file, with project-wide features to match.
🔸 Dispersion and roughness anisotropy for glass and transmissive materials in Cycles.
🔸 New Material Lighting nodes and panoramic camera support in EEVEE.
🔸 A stack of effects for the Compositor, similar to Geometry Nodes modifiers.
🔸 Grease Pencil adds selection tools to Draw Mode, a new Carver tool that cuts shapes with proper boolean subtraction, and multi-fill for the Fill tool.
🔸 Animation & Rigging adds operators to copy and paste world-space animation and to convert rotation modes, along with friendlier playback.
🔸 A full ripple editing framework and a rewritten Blade tool in the Video Sequence Editor.
And more!

These dumb motherfuckers will make a 50 minute movie with AI, pollute the internet with it, and admit they never even bothered to watch it.

This is why artists, creatives and filmmakers are tired of the blatant theft of work to shill some platform or course.
Exclusive: An AI ripoff of the award-winning 2008 short ‘El Empleo’ drew 5 million views in a day while promoting $49/month AI filmmaking classes.
The filmmaker objected, and the video was removed. Here's what both sides had to say: cartoonbrew.com/artificial-i…
Get fucked get fucked get fucked.

🤦♂️ It won't be long until I stop buying artbooks for games and movies if the trend continues. I refuse to pay money for immoral commissions generated by a machine.
Disney has partnered with Adobe to develop AI tools that turn artists' sketches into finished concept art.
The deal is the latest example of Disney's investment priorities in a year otherwise defined by layoffs and cost-cutting.

Nvidia stock is going to implode in the morning and the entire AI industry is going to continue to fold. No way Jensen keeps his job, good riddance.
