It’s not just technology though; doing as much work as the Avatar films need takes a lot of people. Even cutting costs by using non-union shops can only get you so far. Also, if you keep pushing the boundaries of tech the costs won’t actually lower because you’re always at the edge

Nobody else would be afforded the ridiculous budgets he is, so that would be a factor. And given his arguing for gen ai, I think Jim’s lost in his own ego

He could save all the money by just retiring
James Cameron says he must find a cheaper way to produce the Avatar movies in order to continue making them. https://bit.ly/4qnlOpl

i wish every TERF was forced to learn about David Reimer. His tragedy should have conclusively proven to the world that innate gender identity is real and has nothing to do with gender essentialist stereotypes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_R...

I would have to double check but I think the clause prohibits it from anything related?

i need authors and agents to be much louder with their publishers how much they hate gen ai and make it embarrassing/financially harmful for publishers to be associated with it at every level (incl marketing, publicity, and sales)

In literally any other career just constantly whining that stuff is hard and not actually doing anything would be instant firing material and politics should not be exempt

It feels like centre-left politicians are just saying in a muffled voice “the rules say you can’t do that” as their chess opponent declares victory by making them eat their own pieces

I’m not American, but I am pretty sure the First Amendment *establishes* those rights, but cannot actually protect them because it is in fact words on a piece of paper and that is notoriously shit at stopping an angry fascist with a gun
The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:
1. Film ICE in public
2. Photograph ICE in public
3. Observe what ICE does in public
ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.
