She wants time off to spend with her friends:

I don’t love this story either, but I have to say that even as someone who isn’t a fan, I think you’re missing the point. This is a story about a frantic desire to communicate that is absolutely frustrated. To use your analogy, it is UNLIKE a comic book, in that it doesn’t present nice, clean, clear stories with…

I can think of a long line of work that this is in the style of, probably starting with Tristram Shandy, and going for hundreds of years, and yet none of those works would include Cormac McCarthy. Do you just attribute all work you don’t like to an author you didn’t understand, or...?

Sorry, not going to click through. I’m sure slideshows are at least theoretically more profitable, but the reader experience is awful. I am so tired of stuff that could just be, you know, a single article — maybe even not that long of one — turned into a long march through a blizzard of advertisements.

When did you decide to hate honesty? God forbid a writer have a bit of fun for once.

That’s probably less to do with the books themselves and more to do with the same five people writing all the press copy, and trying to sell all the books in the same way.

“Im a superhero who is also....gasp! A dad too!”

hey quick question: what the fuck are you talking about

Planet of the Apes 4: Mr Monkey goes to Washington

No one was discussing how unique or interesting AI art is, we were discussing if theft/copyright infringement is involved.

There’s zero law requiring permission for a machine brain to view artwork.

They don’t need any permission. AI art engines generate brand new images. Every last pixel is brand new. They are only “trained on” other art images. It’s morally identical to you thinking about other paintings with your brain and then painting something new inspired by what you thought about.

Lots of misinformation about AI art has been flying around at the speed of light this week. Anyone who tells you AI art steals something is demonstrably lying about how the technology works.

That’s a pretty vague statement. I’d like to see some facts to elaborate on just who and how they’re being impacted.  

It’s shitty for him to come out and say he is disappointed. Like dude, you have built a fanbase that watches things with your name attached. We have seen time and time again that people get pissed off when the original creator is replaced so why would they bother. If you didn’t want to stick around to finish it that…

There’s nothing wrong for the writer of the article to not be personally into these types of movies that have been made or are planning to be made. I’m on a case by case basis. The concept makes sense as you can see elements to stories and see how creepy or how it can be interpreted as scary content for people. I…

Marketing for this was extremely poor, and I wonder if that’s because of the same sex relationship in the movie.  Whether it is or it isn’t, as a sci-fi buff with children, every algorithm on earth should have been throwing this movie at my face, but I’ve only seen ads for it this week, and only in strange places. …

I commented on the AV Club article that there seemed to be very little marketing for this movie.

Fan entitlement is such a crazy thing to see. No one is owed this movie. They were working on it, and decided not to release it, it’s their prerogative. Every company in every industry - food, automotive, electronics - does this, investing time and money developing a potential product and then ultimately opting to…

In the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic (which predates the animated series), before the ooze fell on the Turtles and their sensei, another person was exposed to it — a young boy named Matt Murdock. Yes, the same ooze that gave Daredevil his powers (from the same accident, no less) is what empowered the…
