“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

White people watching the White House get demolished: How could he do this?!

Black people watching the White House get demolished, while knowing it was built with slave labor: I mean... ok.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

For all you nyc photobugs out there, I'm playing a solo piano set in the atrium of Grand Central Station Saturday at 10pm for Brandon Stanton's "Humans of NY" - i might be inaudible amid the throngs but it should be a pretty cool kodak moment nonetheless!

I refuse to treat an AI generated avatar as a human while people who are very definitely human in every way are not being treated like humans.

Most editorial comments I want to make about this will get me in trouble so let me just say, trans people are precious and segregationists can go fuuuuuuuuck themselves

A Black and Asian woman shilling for segregation is SHAMEFUL
