the problem with giving her an 8-figure deal is she’s gonna be stuck doing 8-figure deal projects. i think it’ll be quite a while before we see anything ‘real’ from her again.

James Tiberius... Skywalker

At least they're encouraging newer generations to pirate shows. 

None of them do. Angels Barbie Dolls are ill-equipped.

If he truly didn't care, he'd stop deleting my comments on his Instagram posts.

Drus is a helluva drug.

Drugs are a helluva drug.

Thankfully the Skywalker saga is finished, the big secret is that this is completely all new and starts the 12-film Organa saga.

So he is just another conservative bro beating his trad wife and libertarian-ing himself into a crypto scam. Dime a dozen MAGAs. 

The synopsis feels a lot like something that was designed to anger a CERTAIN SUBSET of Star Wars fan.

“I don’t know what happens when people get corrupted,” says former drug trafficker Tim Allen.

Return of the New Jedi

My rule of thumb for tjis kind of thing as always been “ If it!s sound exactly like something a fan came up in a commemt section based on existing material, it’s probably false.”

AI writing is dogshit. And it’s not capable of getting much better than it already is, because the computer doesn’t know what it’s saying. It scans, but has almost no content, and the content that’s there is beige and bland, because that’s all the machine can do.

“the computer would go off and do something,” and the team behind the sequence would tweak and alter the response with new prompts.”

Disney’s history of using robots and computers to replace actual employees goes deep into their culture. Just wait until they start using AI technology to create animated movies.

Now, if a bunch of artists story-boarded all of this out and then someone just scanned it into the box to do the work - that feels less ok.

Probably, but I just can’t get worked up that they didn’t pay human artists to imitate an AI. YMMV.

I agree that AI shouldn’t be used to emulate the styles of existing artists or to avoid paying human artists for designs, but I don’t see this use as problematic. They’re using an AI generator here because the characteristic fucked-up way that it tends to render human subjects is artistically appropriate to the themes…
