Saw James Brown (who I genuinely thought was dead) open for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Awful guy, but DAMN he cooked on that stage. 45 minutes of absolute perfection, backed by a full band.

That final episode had million different endings, and strong "now I'm finally going to finish my book!" vibes throughout. Also pull the camera back. No story needs that many extreme close-ups.

Folks should periodically dip back onto Twitter, experience the hellscape, and return here with renewed sense of relief/gratitude about how relatively normal Bluesky is.

Seriously though, these tracks were added to Austin Powers in order to demonstrate how out of touch/time Austin was - thirty years ago…

Sorry buddy, but in reality it’s more like “film irl actors in the desert, AND then drop in a better looking CGI desert in post”.
That’s what a current feature pipeline looks like.

Yeah, I’m sure the hundreds and hundreds of VFX artists in the credits don’t mind at all that the director isn’t recognising their months of work.
VFX = digital. What are you talking about?

Yes, at a VES screening.

What a load of nonsense. This movie, ALL genre movies, are caked an inch thick in VFX. All this tells you is that the VFX work is so good that even he can’t see it all.
Also, for whatever reason it still seems trendy to trash-talk VFX work.

I’m feeling the same energy as we had for that other ghoul - youtu.be/y0VHeo4rLuc?...

The alternative is them to sow the narrative that AI is an essential resource for 1st world nations, and should therefore be bankrolled by governments - with no oversight of course.

I suspect that OpenAI et al are banking on seismic disruption, probably from near-mythical quantum computing, to essentially air-lift them out of the economic hole they're digging.

I remember watching The Running Man and thinking it was nonsensically outlandish. But we’re so close now folks. So close!

I completely agree that AI is intrinsically right-wing in its conception and construction, but is it theoretically possible that its impact is far more influenced by user-base, rather than it’s built-in politics?
Is the right-wing impact due to a failure by the left to grab the bull by the horns?
