Careercow Dan Harmon - Creator of Community, co-creator of Rick and Morty, and barely functional alcoholic

I do think NFT's are stupid and bad for the art community in general, but unless I'm mistaken they use the same amount of power as other blockchain stuff? I think the reason you see art twitter yell NFT bad for environment is because artists aren't bright enough to articulate that tech bros speculating endlessly on random pieces of shit does little for the art community as a whole besides some very lucky individuals.

Idk. I think I'm tired of seeing mindless morons yelling NFT bad cuz environment, because they have no clue how blockchain stuff actually works.

Doing a very quick skim around it all it does seem that blockchains and Bitcoin mining are generally power intensive where adding NFTs wouldn't really add that much into the power equation, but I do agree with your point that NFTs only really benefit big artists. Unless you're a small artist somehow lucky enough to get enough traction for an NFT you're not going to get much out of them. That being said an animated solely made for NFTs sounds really gay

I'm sure NTF's were created to continue the scam of modern art market, only move it into the internetus.
They will be used for money making or laundering schemes since they could be bought and sold, just like the modern art. Only unlike "canned artist's shit" NTF's do not require ANY investment of labour or thought. In fact you do not even need an "artist", just manufacture a fake anonomous artist. You can sell or buy a .jpg of a red rectangle made in paint for any price.
 
Has his friend alex hirsch done anything thread worthy?
I believe he'd qualify for a mediocre thread based on the endless bitching I see in /co/ and /tv/ about him, and my unfavorable impression of him from the 8 hour H3 fundraiser but I'm not invested in him. It'd be a lot of work unless you're already waist-deep in Hirsch content and right now that ain't me. Especially when it would be a smaller thread like this one.
 

Dan Harmon, Nathan Pyle Team for ‘Strange Planet’ Series at Apple​

The animated series will be produced in-house by Apple Studios.

Nathan Pyle’s Strange Planet is getting the TV treatment.

Apple TV+ has handed out a 10-episode, straight-to-series order for an animated series based on Pyle’s webcomic and best-selling graphic novels of the same name.

The series will tell profound and heartfelt stories about beings on a distant planet not unlike our own. Amalia Levari will serve as showrunner on the whimsical comedy. Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty, Community) will be credited as a co-creator alongside Pyle on the series. The duo will exec produce alongside Levari.

Strange Planet will be produced in-house at Apple’s recently launched Apple Studios alongside animation production house ShadowMachine (BoJack Horseman, Final Space). Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico will exec produce for ShadowMachine alongside Steve Levy and Pyle’s wife, Taylor Alexy Pyle.

Illustrator, author and writer Pyle previously had one of his designs featured on Harmon’s former cult NBC comedy Community. He has published multiple New York Times best-selling books. He launched webcomic Strange Planet in early 2019. The comic follows a planet of genderless aliens and explores the complexities of the human race. The series gained a following on Instagram, leading to a book in November of the same year. A second book followed in 2020. The Pyles are repped by CAA, The Gernert Co. and Weintraub.

Strange Planet is Harmon’s fourth animated series, joining Adult Swim megahit Rick and Morty, Fox’s upcoming Krapopolis and FXX’s recently ordered Little Demon. He’s repped by CAA.

Levari, who earned an Emmy in 2015 for writing on Comedy Central’s Over the Garden Wall, also counts Nickelodeon’s Harvey Breaks among her credits. She’s with Kaplan Perrone and Morris Yorn.

Strange Planet becomes Apple’s second animated series, joining Disney-owned Loren Bouchard entry Central Park (which returns for its second season this month).

The thing is this... Joji Miller is not just funny (which he is, especially with his Filthy Frank videos he used to make) but he's also much talented as a musician, having an incredible singing voice despite his illness with throat cancer (which causes him to do less Filthy Frank videos until early-2017 when he stopped for good to persue his dream of being a musician). This is something Harmon lacks.
Joji makes basic bitch songs about how great it is being high and how depressed he is. And genuinely thinks that makes him profound and deep. If I didn't know this was the same man who gave us Filthy Frank I just wouldn't know Joji exists. And that depresses me because I loved Filthy Frank. I despise that kind of music in general. It's not even art. It's just self indulgence of a man coasting on previous fame. Knowing he doesn't have "it" any more and hoping he never actually has to test himself ever again. Kinda reminds me of someone...

Anyway Dan Harmon is a shit. Fuck him too.

Hes still riding off that Rick and Morty fame and high. Hell, he could sit in a office all day, doing fuck all, burping loudly as a "rick" impression, and people would still pay him thousands just to "work" on there project

Harmon's career is basically at the stage that John Kricfalusi's was about 15 years ago.
 
NTFs will be great for creators in general long-term but the current fad is all people cashing in on the system prematurely and making it look retarded. It's a cool and extremely versatile technology that has a lot more potential than "art NTFs" so don't throw everything out with the bathwater.
I think the energy impact is pretty trivial, but they piggyback on blockchains which can use energy-intensive mining... which would keep doing their thing either way. But the proof-of-work basis responsible for that isn't universal and newer ones are trying to get away from it. NFTs might even help that, I dunno and don't feel like looking it up, but they do have the potential to cut down on economic waste in other ways.

As far as I know, you need to pay an Ethereum "gas" fee to actually "mint" each NFT so it's not quite as cheap to join in this racket as you'd think.

How the fuck does this track?? Didn't this guy get cancelled for being an anti-abortion christian last year?
 
I just watch a new episode of Rick and Morty recently. Rick is actually sober and isn't drooling. For how long who knows. Some character development from Morty and surprisingly, Jerry. Good episode. But I'm really starting to doubt that Rick and Morty can survive for 9 seasons. Much less, seven. I wonder if this Evil Morty subplot is even a thing.
