The most important post on Bluesky today
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I think this is why fascists love AI art, not because it is good, but because it is bad. Not because it is original, but because it is stolen.
To make art as an expression of skill and craft and humanity reinforces humanity.
To push a button that steals art and call it your own is domination.

A simple example - use and utilise. They don't mean the same thing, and when you use utilise to mean use, you diminish the intrinsic value of a word that has specific meaning - to use something in a way it wasn't originally designed or intended for.
