I think the ease of engaging with and consuming art has done a lot to mask how much time and practice goes into creating art. Plus people don't really have a baseline participation in creating art so they aren't even aware of how impressive even the things they think are bad really are.

The AI dorks have no ideas. They don't understand or appreciate art. They have nothing to say.
$30,000. Imagine what any of your favorite creative minds on Bsky who struggle to sell enough things to make rent every month could do with $30k given to them to make something from their hearts.

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

You dont need a day to tell you that youre loved. You dont need a day to tell you to love yourself. You dont need a day to celebrate love when every day exists. You dont need a day to define your worth measured by others’ love. Even if the love for yourself is an infinitesimal iota: its still love.

Happy Death of James Cook day to those who celebrate. On 14 February 1779 British explorer Captain James Cook was killed as he attempted to kidnap Kalaniʻōpuʻu, the ruling chief (aliʻi nui) of the island of Hawaii, and hold him hostage for the return of a cutter which Hawaiians had stolen.
