good reasons not to use ChatGPT and other AIs:
1. it is a tool of fascism
2. once you are in its ecosystem, and rely on it, it can be used to manipulate you
3. if a service is free, *you* are the product
I know it's convenient, but resistance requires us to be uncomfortable for the greater good

Literal days before Christmas, I spoke with Die My Love cinematographer Seamus McGarvey for @filmhounds.co.uk
We got into the weeds on Ektochrome film stock, shooting on film, and how Lawrence and Pattinson are the best free-range chicken actors.

Having so much fun editing my Seamus McGarvey interview, particularly as he refers to Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson as “the best free range chicken actors in the world.”

Three things I’d love to see tomorrow at the Oscar noms:
Sorry, Baby for Original Screenplay
Wunmi Mosaku for Supporting Actress
No Other Choice for literally anything (but it deserves noms across multiple categories!)
