This. Also, *foreign language*: bro, it’s Italian, or Hindi, or Portuguese…
Would pay good money for subtitles that don’t put a giant [***SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE***] over the in-movie captions actually explaining what those characters are saying

I honestly think Google is underestimating the danger of raising YouTube floodgates to AI content. I’m less and less clicking on any stuff that’s either a) not from known, established creators and b) produced within last 1 yr
I’m probably not an exception and this must have some impact on ads, no?

I’m obviously very late to the party, but holy shit
There’s a moment when Pearline is on the stage singing and I just couldn’t pay attention to her amazing performance because there’s also a parallel hair-raising plot line going on.
Amazing music, amazing score, superb cinematography, Oscar worthy

Apparently I got blocked (by one of the people I actually do like and follow) for claiming that baking soda can be used on stainless steel
I guess my reply was too abrasive

This is a neat little straw-man or “motte and bailey”, or whatever you want to call it
No one is calling the entire AI “slop”.
The phrase is used specifically to describe AI-generated “art”: generic, regurgitative and weird.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

I see legit news sites, aspiring to be taken seriously, with their illustration strategy built around AI (instead of, say, stock photos). It’s obvious, looks incredibly chintzy, and indeed it makes me question the quality of the information itself.

I see a growing number of obviously AI generated ads, and it always makes me think two things: (1) This is a rinky-dink outfit that can't afford to film a commercial with real sets and actors, and more importantly (2) They are lying to me even more than ads usually do.

Off on a tangent: I think Stranger Things is a great example why leaving a few plot points unexplained (end of S1) is actually good for a show - while trying to fill in all the blanks (S2-S5) is bad.
Over and over, and over again: Leave the space for viewers’ imagination!

I’ve not seen a moving frame of this show
Its gotten so much worse though. Compare what s4 looked like to s5. Shocking stuff

From my “Dish it out, can’t take it” folder: Always funny to learn how some genuinely interesting people here, who also come across as brash and a little bit of dicks, are also incredibly petty and have paper-thin skin.

I’m blessed that I can run in nature: Sometimes, a V-shaped flock of birds would pass over my head in twilight… just a profound experience of the beauty of the world.
+1 to this. i have taken to trying to do a 30 minute jog on the treadmill most days and it has done wonders for my health and general state of mind.
not gonna evangelize about it but tbh coming to understand the value of cardio is one of the biggest positive changes I've made of any kind to my adult life, for whatever that's worth

If you told me that investing my life savings into computer-generated, badly drawn pictures of apes is not “the greatest investment strategy of all time”, I wouldn’t have believed you.

Pluribus is - besides being well written and executed - also amazingly well made, just great photography. There’s an absolutely sublime shot in the last episode: Carole being in the background, and the cabin of the red helicopter in the front.
I was completely floored how well it looked.

In Icelandic folklore Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas. In this image, you can see somebody did not put on their new Christmas sweater. Or perhaps even more unfortunately, no one got them one!

There are no “slow” movies, or movies in which “nothing happens”.
If you think a movie is too slow, maybe you need more patience, or just you’re not present.
If you’re complaining how nothing is happening in a movie, maybe you’re not looking hard enough.
