They sold you a complete creative platform. They gave you node graphs. Here's what Build, Craft, and Deploy layers actually look like—and why you deserve all three. About a month ago, ComfyUI released Subgraph parameter panels. I almost missed it amongst the relentless AI noise—but this feature is significant. It allows users to customise functions and settings within nodes, giving developers unprecedented control over their workflows. Brilliant, right? Except it also creates

Part 3 of 3   | Read Part 1: The Arms Race | Read Part 2: The Fragmentation Crisis We've covered   which platforms   might win (Part 1) and   why they're all failing us   (Part 2). Now for the conversation nobody wants to have: "I spent 10 years learning tools that AI mastered in 10 months. What now?" This isn't about doom. It's about clarity. Because right now, there are 3D artists spending thousands of hours mastering skills that will be automated by next year. And there ar

MY JOURNEY (PROBABLY YOURS TOO) I started with   Grammarly   for polish, and   Google   for research. Then ChatGPT arrived in November 2022, and like millions of others, I thought:   "Finally - one tool to rule them all." Until it wasn't. The breaking point? I asked ChatGPT to analyse a transcript and extract quotes on a specific topic. It delivered - except   the quotes didn't exist . Not paraphrased. Not summarised.   Completely fabricated. That's not a "harmless hallucinat

In Part 1, I broke down which platforms are winning (and losing) the 3D AI race. Spoiler: nobody's really winning because the entire approach is broken. Today, let's talk about   the elephant in the render farm   that nobody wants to address: Your £30K hardware investment is gathering dust while you pay monthly fees to upload your work to someone else's cloud. And the software giants? They're either asleep at the wheel or actively making it worse. Let's fix this. THE 2012 WAR

Following my post on MASS DENIAL SYNDROME:  https://lnkd.in/e7zCftbT  and the 90% creative role displacement, several of you asked: "What should I actually do about it?" (Some others said they're now doing a night school course in plumbing...that wasn't my original intent) Fair question. Here's the practical answer for 3D artists, motion designers, and anyone in the creative 3D space. Everyone's obsessing over AI image generators and video tools, but where is the true 3D revo

(But it's going to financially devastate a lot of people) "That's not loyalty. That's crisis management."  Someone said this about my LLM-hopping (Grammarly → ChatGPT → Grok → Claude), and it clicked: I'm not fickle. I'm a swing voter.  I only switch when: Current option becomes  untenable  (broken, expensive, obsolete) Alternative is  dramatically better  - not 10% better, but leaves the old guard in the dust Small improvements don't move the needle. Revolutions do. Right no

Why this rebel is rebelling against AI slop–and how Red Rising is the perfect proving ground I’ve been in the trenches of media production for 15+ years, and since 2018, when Synthesia first whispered synthetic smiles and Adobe Neural Filters turned “impossible” into “one-click,” the way we work and tackle creative challenges has changed at an ever-accelerated pace. Yet every year the same sludge floods the feeds: AI-generated “content” that’s fast, cheap, and utterly soulles

Agentic AI pipelines are live in Adobe Enterprise. Here’s who wins—and who gets displaced by automation. The Wake-Up Call I keep seeing it on LinkedIn: “AI can’t come up with the  idea .”  “You still need a human to talk to the client.”  “Creativity is safe.” “AI cannot emulate and portray human emotion!”  “AI is just a tool, like Photoshop was in 2000.” Wrong! Today, agentic AIs, like   AutoGen ,   LangChain , and   Adobe Sensei Agents   already do this loop end-to-end: Oppo
