Authoritarians love "Gen AI" because it - Sounds confident even when factually wrong - Broadly conforms to & reproduces their biases, off the shelf - Lets them create bespoke realities (text, audio, moving & still image) which agree w/ their biases - Degrades trust in knowledge/evidence/expertise…

I'm usually the last person to opine about Kids These Days and the media created for them but watching the Minecraft movie (I know, I know) makes me wonder. It's been a trend for a while to trade sincerity for bathos. What's the effect of that on kids?

When I first played CATHERINE in 2012, some of the conflict felt inscrutable to me because it was rooted in the birth-rate crisis Japan was having at the time. Without understanding that, the rest of the story makes less sense. Suddenly interested to re-play now that America has caught up.

When I wrote The Hound, a big goal was to investigate the sexual politics of "haunted family" movies by centering a lesbian couple so that the "skeptic and believer" roles didn't fall along gender lines or family roles. I think it was mostly successful there.

There is absolutely tremendous value to "own voices" literature and I vastly prefer it to the alternative where people's stories get appropriated and profited on by those with institutional power. But I sure don't love how it's created an expectation about all storytelling being autobiographical.

Lessons horror movies have taught me: - moving somewhere for a "fresh start" never works. - watch the road. Bad driving causes horror movies. - believe your kids when they tell you weird shit is happening. - the psychiatrist probably wants to fuck your wife.
