Ahead of the release of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, I want to relay something from the Q&A after the early screening I attended.
There's a scene where people are shown scrolling a tik-tok-like app showing endless AI slop videos. Per Verbenski, all of them were made by human animators.

“No matter how Ring and other surveillance tech companies may downplay it, there’s no world in which finding lost dogs is the final end-use for this technology.”
Opinion | Ring is using lost dogs to make the surveillance state adorable
The same technology the Amazon-owned company uses to find lost dogs could easily be turned against their owners.

These age verification initiatives is a privacy nightmare. Terrible policies hastily put out without a second thought to wider implications is endangering safety while offering no real protection in the way it is intended. This will drive people deeper into the darker pits of the net.

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet
Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

It's so sad that a big chunk of the Star Wars fandom has decided that the Vong were "grimdark warhammer stuff" that "doesn't fit Star Wars" because that just isn't the case at all.
Can you imagine the excerpt below from a Warhammer story?

Time to dust off one of my old favorite takes: if this had happened it would have amounted to an EU reboot twenty years earlier. No adaptation could have been so consistent as to have allowed both the books and the show to be the same universe.

It was great, I also mentioned in the comments on YT (Armafala) how frustrating and scary moving away from fan animations to originals is, seeing someone else do it so well definitely helps even knowing my own attempt will not be anything special. But NL makes me want to keep going

An animator branching out from fan animations to fully original works is always scary, especially with how Youtube works. As an animator working on that sorta art transition right now @arainydancer.bsky.social No Love is awesome and inspiring.
Fantastic work, can't wait to see the rest
