True of most things I suppose but I really don’t understand the use case for generative AI with film. It seems like a way to do less precise, scattershot CGI, that would be hell to composite into real footage. Even if you don’t care about the ethical/environmental issues, it sounds annoying!

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

(via Variety)

The only gigs that come my way these days are helping train the AI that will presumably replace me. I turn them down. I hope for the strength of will and financial solvency to turn them down forever. But it’s bleak!

Well we need a new furnace so if anyone knows of a J-E localization project that needs an extra set of hands do let me know.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Every time I see one of those commercials with the AI bedtime stories stuff I think, why not just replace your kids with AI at that point?

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI
"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

In case it isn’t clear yet, the fascists are carrying out a project where they drain all programs focused on the public good and well-being and dividing the money between themselves, their friends, and new programs designed to oppress and control.

It is bandcamp Friday which means today is the day to buy some of my music (or anyone’s).

I think the case for “this was a decisive affirmation of the MAG ideology” is extremely weak & I think the view that we ought to take the election as an expression of where The People stand owes more to the insecurity and lack of confidence that is pervasive among our liberal elites than the facts.

I have been bonding with dozens of fellow victims of the male loneliness epidemic over our shared suffering. They are my dear cherished friends. But if I ever let them know, it will all fall apart.

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!

It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.

It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!
"How Do You Avoid Hitting People With Your Car" pocket guide. Instructs readers to Watch the Road and Slow Down. Further text humorously insists that watching the road and slowing down are indeed important.

once again trump’s great political asset is that voters literally do not believe anything he says

supreme court please stunt on these people and allow Trump to nuke their finances

I mostly did it because of investment reasons, business reasons. But yeah, I don’t know. I feel like I regretted my vote. I feel like even though my specific investment in cryptocurrency is doing good overall, he has ruined the cryptocurrency market for a lot of cryptocurrencies. A lot of these rich people are just pumping-and-dumping stuff, coming out with tokens. And this is not really what I voted for. I just wanted him to do good with business, the economy. With tariffs, I didn’t know the tariffs were going to be this extreme. That’s not helping anything out at all.


Jody, 32, Mo., white, Republican, construction
I really liked a lot of what I saw in his first term, especially economy-wise. It made me feel a lot more secure. I felt like I had a lot more buying power, and could really improve my station. During President Biden’s term, I felt like a lot of things went downhill. A lot of Trump’s campaign promises the second time around, I honestly was like, oh, he’s not going to be able to do that. It just seems like he really came out of the gate really aggressively, doing a lot more than I really was anticipating and expecting. The tariffs feel really risky and are giving me a lot of anxiety this time around.

It doesn't matter who gets killed, it doesn't matter what the circumstances are, the Right is going to use it for their own purposes. If this isn't obvious by now you're choosing to be obtuse.

rewatching NETWORK for a project 👀 and it is absolutely shocking how prescient this film is. it’s like paddy chayefsky was granted a vision of america in 2025 and he furiously tried to turn what he saw into something intelligible to viewers in the 1970s
