Some of y'all don't seem to know about punctuation, and that really makes it hard to read your run-on sentences...

"content creation" "audiences don't care if what they're looking at is AI" this sucks so bad man, if you treat making movies like second screen slop people shouldn't pay attention to you have already lost the market

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

My parents told me about lynching when I was 5 years old & we were at my aunt’s house. I couldn’t finish my caramel cake because it made me sick. These are the facts Black people grow up knowing that white culture has to get shocked at.

We report: the sun leaks into the sky, and we find its echoes in the clouds for a long time after. We hear the hiss of high voltage arcing as we watch, and we wonder if some turning off and back on is in order. Some of the troubleshooting pages are missing from the manual.

Digital painting of deep blue sky, half-covered in wispy silver clouds. There is bright iridescence coming up into the frame like flames, all shades of the rainbow, overshadowing the rest of the sky.

For the GMs: You had zero time to prep. You sat down at the table, opened the book, and the game systems helped you and your players create an incredible session *out of thin air*.

What #IndieGame was your savior that day? What's its secret sauce for no prep #TTRPG play?

Not a word in this about the plagiarism aspect of AI, but at least the piece ends like this:

He recalls a recent conversation he had with a group of fellow film-makers, one of whom had just seen the 2015 British documentary Listen to Me Marlon. The documentary makers had used what was, in 2015, cutting edge software to create a 3D rendering of Marlon Brando reciting Macbeth.

“In the future, anybody who wants to pay the rights for it can have Marlon Brando in their movie,” this film-maker had enthused to Miller. But another director – “younger and wiser than most of us”, Miller recalls – disagreed.

“[They] replied yes, you’ll have a character who looks like Marlon Brando, but you’ll have nothing close to Marlon Brando. You won’t have the engagement, that performances arise out of the collaborative effort between other actors and directors and writers and so on. You will not have the essence of Brando.

“And that applies to everything – whether it’s a song, a novel, or whatever.

“You won’t have that human essence.”

The worst part about the AI bubble popping is how many average people will be affected by the economic fallout. People will lose their job, kids will go hungry, and families will lose their homes. Yet these billionaire bastards won't feel a thing other than a decline in their net worth.

Kat Tenbarge @kattenbarge.bsky.social · 1h

One of the crazy things about the AI bubble bursting is that consumer sentiment toward AI has always leaned skeptical to outright negative but it’s an industry propped up by pure billionaire greed, sycophancy, and childish fantasy

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

This is why we scream about abortion bans.

This is why we need good quality sex education in schools and to save planned parenthood.

People don’t understand the medical definition of abortion.

They don’t realize they’re voting for a policy that will put their life at risk. 2/2

I've become very skeptical of "trees are life giving preservers of natural harmony" type myths. If there's anything I've learned from my time in the Pacific Northwest, it's that trees, at best, are unenthusiastic about our presence, and are actively hostile, more often than not.

To be fair to the quest, nothing changed about it. It was the stealth mechanic itself that ceased to function in the way that made the quest work.

Abandon the "perpetual present" model. Let characters die for real.
But also, no legacy names. It's exhausting to keep track of who was the first Flash, the second Flash, etc.

Yeah... The rework to stealth kinda hurt this one, as it's kinda the whole point of the quest.

I'm not sure what they could do to it to make this better.

The current strategy is to just bum rush to the end, clearing the groups as you go, while avoiding the Prophets.
