“Just keep sucking that Silicon Valley dick.” Are you a 15-year-old boy in 1998? An edgelord ostrich? Is it really so impossible to talk to each other like adults? Christ, it’s so disappointing coming here these days.

AI is here to stay. Sure. But not in the way a lot of people (particularly people in the AI industry) think.

People being replaced by technology has been a huge issue for decades (centuries even if you want to pick hairs), but AI is replacing creatives , people who (and yes they make the world slightly more bearable),have up until now not been replaceable, so since its affecting people who write articles or make TV/movies ,…

Right, specific jobs go away and industries remain. Adaptation is needed. What’s your point?

“Home recording will destroy the music industry!!!” — “VCRs will destroy the film industry!!!” — “Streaming will destroy the film industry!!!” — etc. etc. etc. Guess what? Industries adapt in the face of technological changes - or they die.

He would film Family Ties during the day, hop in a van and take a nap while he was driven to the set of Back To The Future at night, back in the van, repeat.

Oh cool, a label you can literally slap on any prominent actor.

Why are you trying to get the internet to go after Michael J Fox? Does that seem like the right target to you? 

Well Nolan is viewed as the saviour of cinema and can do no wrong in the eyes of many (do you remember the hype about how Tenet would save the industry after covid?). Coppola, on the other hand, is now 85 and many years removed from being considered the great auteur he once was. Personally, I will take Coppola over…

They literally list two positive reactions, one of which is from Coppola’s personal friend, and then two negative reactions. So... nothing at all like you're claiming.  Maybe try reading it again. Slowly.

It’s really not a good sign that the positive reviews all start with some variation of “Webster’s defines ‘good’ as...”

That’s not a serious take. Business-side execs can get it wrong. They do all the time. But it’s not unhinged to consider that a big-swing, massive-budget film about an architect rebuilding a futuristic NYC might be a seriously difficult sell. That’s a wholly rational conclusion. Maybe it’s wrong. But probably not. And…

But tell me this: Do you think Leigh Monson would give Fateful Findings the kind of generous reading that they have granted The People’s Joker? Does Vera Drew’s semi-autobiographical approach to the material and identity as a trans artist mean giving her more critical consideration than white cishet loon auteur Neil…

Notice how you don’t actually address my comment and instead double down on the unfounded insults?

Given its intensely personal nature, any faults in The People’s Joker are nearly indistinguishable from its appeal.

Why is it always those who champion diversity and inclusion who are the very first ones to start throwing around personal insults and harassing others for their beliefs?

Eh, ain’t my thing, but it looks like they had fun making it.

It doesn’t have an intended purpose. Like most tech grifts of the past decade it’s a solution in search of a problem, and the only problem it’s actually good at solving is streamlining scams.

Super happy about how many people are going to be pissed off at this for even existing. 

Yeah, the discussions I’m seeing around the 2024 race just reinforce to me that we absolutely *will* try fascism in the future, and we absolutely *will not* learn anything permanent from it.
