Yeah, you got a catch phrase, you could be hugely famous in the 80s.

Or ever, really.  “People like stupid shit” is a timeless truth.

She likes DORKS apparently. — lazins, la, United States, early March 2020

Babylon is not a copy of Singing in the Rain.

Came to say the same. The vast majority of directors would love to be making a movie every 2-3 years. Chazelle may have felt like he was in jail because no one was lining up to offer him $80m to direct his next movie, but he wasn’t.

Conversely, Israel could end this tomorrow by . . . ending it tomorrow.

Israel is apparently always in the wrong.

Are you missing the part where Israel abducted ~20,000 Palestinians and is holding them without due process, or the near a Palestinian a day they executed indiscriminately prior to the 7th? How about the long and documented history of torture, rape, mutilation by Israeli forces on Palestinians?

What’s amazing is how credulous he press is as it relates to these technologies.  The metaverse concept in particular.  Over and over there are these absurd prognostications about how everyone is going to work (or do whatever standard task) just a few years from now.  

Woah, my username survived the transition? Cool.

It won’t replace people because it has fundamental flaws that require more time to fix than it costs to just have a human make content in the first place, but “it’ll replace workers” is the grift being sold to the C-suite and a lot of people are going to have a miserable time before this shakes out.

AI is an augmentation, not a replacement.

That’s true, but the difference is, the threat on 3BP is sentient beings that we can exact violence upon. That gets buy-in a lot more easily.

False equivalency much? It’s like saying a non-musician who had no skill typing in a few lines and the synth creating the beat, rhythm and music. It is not even close to the same thing

Yeah, that was the point I was getting at (in a roundabout way).

Those “this could have been a dream job for an artist”-type of tweets ring really hollow to me, since generally (albeit not always) an art department will hire all the graphic artists they need for a movie, and then those artists will create all of the art for the movie.

Can we be a little smart about how we talk about generative A.I. and its use in media?

We’re All Going to the World’s Fair was the best film of the year. I don’t think I am more excited by any film than I am this one. 

Looks awesomely weird. 

The thing about the Easter eggs in S4 is that they had bugger-all to do with S1, which is fine as Easter eggs are just fun secrets, but the execution was keen to point out “Oh look!” like it would mean something to the existing narrative.
