Goddamn, please don’t write “New” along “Gravity Falls” and/or “Owl House” in the same title! (Unless there are actually new Gravity Falls or Owl House episodes in production)

What’s the actual difference between when a graphic design firm makes you digital images in Adobe software (the “old world”) or when a graphic design firm makes you digital images in Midjourney software (the “new world”)?

My biggest issue is the way people are treating the legally questionable deployment of new technology as inherent and therefore excusable to the technology itself.

The biggest problem with AI art generation is it’s a product (not a person) pieced together almost entirely out of the uncompensated work of others. I’m…

Have you ever considered the possibility that this is the best the tech will ever look, sans direct human intervention? Especially now that LLMs are being fed on “synthetic data” from other models because there’s not enough real data to work with? Look up “Hapsburg AI.”

Funny how you can put the A24 logo on any crappy piece of AI fodder and it suddenly gives it gravitas.

A tech blog isn’t allowed to report on negative aspects of technology? Or do those not exist?

Utterly baffling that studios continue to put different extras on the physical and digital editions, given that consumers have demonstrated that they will spend money on discs of big releases (see the massive popularity of the Oppenheimer 4K UHD Blu-Ray).

Sure you can. Have enough kaiju fighting, but also have well defined human characters with stories worth telling.

Correct, Final Wars was absolute garbage. You know what we don’t need in a Godzilla movie? Humans doing Matrix-esque fight scenes. Some cool monster redesigns (loved Anguirus and Gigan) but the kaiju fights were so SHORT and sporadic that you didn’t really get to appreciate them.

I would argue that Final Wars was awful, whereas reducing GMK to “dumb all out monster brawler fun” does a disservice to a terrific movie.

I had this come in the final phase of the final fight and the first time (it happened more than once) confused the hell out of me. The last thing I wanted to do was restart the entire sequence. 

I’m honestly surprised that made it passed QA. I feel like it’s a translation issue, but more than likely the compromise with them having so many retry options and so many different scenarios(multi-phase battles) to apply them to.

This got me so bad in the final battle which felt like 15 minute long battle. I died in the final stage and chose ‘retry from this battle’ instead of ‘before current battle’, it was so frustrating to go through the whole thing again and DIED ONCE MORE in the final stage.

Second time around I chose the other option…

I think sometimes we assume that the U.S. Military would be on the right side of a Civil War, and that may not be the case. The nuts you think of very likely could be the ones running the country, and the normals could be the people trying to take on the U.S. Military.

So does the SciFi Channel miniseries. I mean, it had great design ideas, they just didn’t have the budget necessary to really realize them properly, so in the end they look cheap. But they definitely had a vision there.

That is maybe the one thing Lynch’s Dune gets right. The design is so wild and feels lived in (people have pet pugs!). New Dune feels so sterile.

I just talked to an executive at a very smart tech company that decided not to lay off their entire talent staff during the tech recession, but instead to re-train them to do other critical tasks.  This way, they get people who know the company doing important stuff, and the talent staff will be in place to snatch the…

How about in the time that was “the last 30 years when Star Wars was huge”?
