Myeah, lived through the 90s quite consciously. The critiques were there, quite vocally too, mostly from older generations. Complaining how it was just pushing some buttons on a computer, and the graphics were there. No soul and all that.

https://www.instagram.com/gossipgoblin/ https://www.instagram.com/brain_racked/ Two artists who are working in sci-fi. What AI is enabling is giving power to individuals to shape worlds, without having to direct entire teams and having the ability to communicate their own vision to other...

You can make something good on a shoestring budget, but you can't make everything on a shoestring budget. Cyberpunk cinema is a good example. The lowbudget ones are very punk, but they can't be truly epic as they don't have the budget for it. The blockbuster ones are epic, but they're about as...

This will be down-voted for sure, but here goes. I don't think anyone was surprised by the reactions to this production. Anti AI-art sentiment is vocal and loud, though vaguely unaware that's it's a mere cry for help from a vocal minority. On top of that, cinema is one of the most conservative...

As a Strava user, I don't care at all (own your data has been the rule for decades now). I would like to point to Ars that four seemingly random user complaints/quotes really don't add any value at all, and make it look like the article is bloated with a few complaints to make the situation look...

Now that Angel's Egg is finally available outside Japan (and in 4K too), it would've been the perfect time to give that film some extra exposure. A cult favorite for decades already, but somehow it always got stuck in release limbo.

Yeah, thanks for not quoting the very next line where I'm literally saying I don't and which I specifically added to not waste my time. It really shows what kind of discussion we're having here.

I can imagine that just fine. The film's called Nothing Stays the Same by the way, maybe you should watch it. It makes some truly excellent points and does it in a very aesthetic way too. What scares me most about this entire discussion is how married most of us are to the idea of working...

There's this interesting film about a boatsman. When people wanted to cross the river, they had to go to him and he would take them across the river, and get paid for his services. A job he'd been doing his entire life. But then someone decided to build a bridge not far from where he was running...

Desincentivizing "problematic" content sounds like an important priority. There is so much rage bait and so many creators and commenters having no problem to do/say whatever just for engagement. Getting rid of that in favor of nuance and/or authenticity sounds like a good start. I also still...

Now, I'm annoyed by crappy AI results too, but the sudden outrage does surprise me, especially as Google Search has been corrupted for years thanks to SEA. But apparently it's more acceptable to see big companies pay lots of money to push their inferior products and services onto you when searching.

Ironically, SEO + SEA is a way worse combination when it comes to "a gradual homogenization of our cultural landscape". Exploration has become a problem on our current incarnation of the web, with search engines only serving you what is popular (or paid to be advertised) and social platforms...

Good thing many writers worked on this, such a challenging project! Also, are there still any classic pop songs left to be blandly reworked in trailers?

It's going to be for some people, personally I don't need more storage either. For me it needed to replace my Samsung SmartTV apps (which were crashing half of the time) and it's doing a perfectly fine job at that. I have some streaming + TV apps on it, doesn't need to do anything more. Speed...

Got a giggle out of "and made room for fresh original fare" as the first couple of entries were all franchise-based material. But hey, it was a solid year, saw some good flicks. The 10 that stood out to me: Deep Sea Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Asteroid City Mad Fate #Manhole Infinity...

So ehm, we like fries and waffles, also beer and chocolate. We do a lot of indoor quarrelling as our governmental structures are crazy complicated and we love to whine. Fun fact: we once celebrated the fact that it took us more than 1 year to form a government by having a national fries day. So...

If you want to divide the room between people who see art as emotion vs people who see art as craft, there's no better way to talk about these AI-generated images. And I feel for those who still believe this can be stopped.

The naming's a bit dramatic, isn't it? I remember the zip disk's "click of death", which actually meant your drive was busted.

As much as everyone hates governments, they're still the better option when it comes to providing public spaces where people can say and do what they want. They are by no means perfect, but putting our content in the hands of companies has always been a dumb idea, and the number of gatekeepers...

So all of this is just a bit of circle-jerking right. Boasting about how we get it, thumping our chest, saying we warned those dumb bozos years ago. Big (wo)men! Ugh.
