Using AI to 'animate' Harryhausen's concept art is beyond insulting.
Look at the scene at the bottom left, do they think Ray wanted half a headless horse to enter the frame & fuse to the giant in the Golden Voyage of Sinbad!?
Lazy, low effort, with zero intention. It's the antitheses of his work.

These are the "good and decent people" who didn't survive the Reagan presidency.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

This is bullshit.
"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.
"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

In a nutshell, this is it. They will try to destroy any leftist takeover, like they did with Bernie, even if this means more power to the GOP. *Nothing* that Trump has done (ICE, Cecot, tariffs, USAID, frivolous prosecutions of Trump oponents, even the murder of the Hortmans) matters to them.
Schumer and his friends want Trump to have power because they hate you. They are furious Mamdani won in a landslide and are afraid of repeats all over the country. Their solution is open capitulation to the far right.

Democrats ran the table on Tuesday at state and local levels, getting not just its base excited but “normies” fed up over the last 10mo, so of course national Democrats want to do everything to pop the air in the balloon.
At this point, it’s clear that the Hamburglar, Dr Evil, and Sideshow Bob are advising Chuck Schumer.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
