THRILLED to be back at @liveright.bsky.social with @giaquinta.bsky.social for my next book! I'm convinced that if we're to retain our humanity in the face of mounting technocracies and forces that want to make us into little atomized profit units, we've got to re-engage with big, bold, communal art.

I hope people are aware that I am not saying you should not watch movies like this. I am trying to make sure you can enjoy it

It is actually shocking Jim Caviezel isn’t in this, given his whole deal these days

GQ knows what’s up

The Best-Dressed Man at the New York Film Festival Is the Guy in Charge
Sincere apologies to Timothée Chalamet and Alexander Skarsgård. The festival’s unassuming artistic director, Dennis Lim, is the fit-god-in-residence at Alice Tully Hall.

Re-upping for the afternoon crowd, and to say that my irritation with this movie largely has to do with how impossible it is to engage with any ideas it might have because everything slathered on top is so distractingly bizarre

My intrusive thought while watching TRON: ARES was: why don’t we see movies about AI harming humans the way it is actually harming humans?

Yeah, and if you take pictures with your iPhone there’s a very good chance you’re using AI.

It would just be a good idea to do the ol’ journalistic “what do you mean by that” follow up, but I guess I should know better.

IMHO the real issue with guys like Jason Blum saying that “AI is inevitable” is nobody seems to bother defining what they mean by “AI”
