We’re Just Here For The Bad Guys: The Dirties and the Emotional Persuasion of Violent Art - Film Cred
Found-footage-style film 'The Dirties' has a deeper message about society's relationship with violence in the media.
film-cred.com
Can’t believe it’s already been 5 years since this was published… One of my favorite pieces I’ve written, and definitely my most personal.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Fuck all of you saying "this is inevitable" or "it's here deal with it" or even "it's fine"/"it's not a big deal". Be antihuman on your own time. This is a moveable needle. It's ruining lives (mine included already), ruining the environment, ruining art and creativity, isn't needed and isn't wanted.
The AI Backlash Keeps Growing Stronger
As generative artificial intelligence tools continue to proliferate, pushback against the technology and its negative impacts grows stronger.

100%. For example, what if voters aren’t asking for a line graph showing retail theft going down, but to not see any context-free, undated mass shoplifting videos in their feeds? Good luck with that if our palantíri algo overlords don’t wish it.

I know everyone is excited for when It Happens, but I really don't think I'll derive much satisfaction from it unless a guillotine is involved.

This is one of the reasons I hate what big tech has done to AI over the last couple of years. There are great use cases for AI / machine learning. But they chose to shove incompetent models into every available receptacle while screaming "THIS WILL DESTROY YOUR LIFE, WE OWN YOU LOL"

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

every time I see an A-list actor in an ad for some slot machine phone game, I think about how Bill Murray's character in Lost in Translation doing advertisements is framed as basically the highest form of humiliation an actor could go through.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I cannot emphasise what a strong film THE DIRTIES is. It's glib to call it "Elephant but funny", and yet Matt Johnson and his collaborators made an extraordinarily powerful film about school shootings and the incel imagination. We should be talking about this film so much more than we currently do!
