Als zynischer Linker mit ETF für die Altersvorsorge hatte ich es mir bisher theoretisch echt leicht gemacht, entweder der Kapitalismus geht vor die Hunde,(yay) oder man hat weniger finanziellen Stress im Alter (immerhin). Jetzt so konkret wird's doch komisch 🙈

He's one of the few filmmakers where you can just legit take any random frame from one of his films, no matter which period, and put it on your wall.

I think I've been there! Is that Jigoku Valley/Noboribetsu?

Lol, genau an den Typen musste ich bei OP auch denken. Zweimal jetzt gesehen, jedes mal cringe pur.

Except for controlling Squall in that scene, 25 years later and it still irritates me 😅

It certainly feels like they not only expect a radical reaction, but also hope for it?

This album was absolutely essential to a particular time in my life, I get chills every time I listen to it. Probably my most listened to electronic music album ❤️

It's truly incredible. That last season was really hard to watch though, we only managed one episode a night, it was too painful otherwise 😅

I think it is, but I really liked the first season, so ymmv.

👍🏼 Point taken. I see the problem, it's the logical conclusion to the way things are developing at the moment. I just think that this specific example is nothing particularly new (see my reply with the garbage dvd cover).

I'm not shilling for Bezos and his exploitative shit here, I just wish the Anti-AI discourse was a bit less hysterical and at least interested in an honest discussion 🙈

I doubt that there wasn't some human in the loop here, at least for selecting the final image, maybe even some compositing work. And then, how is this worse than some unpaid intern photoshopping some assets together?

Not all of them go hard...

😅 sorry for the lingo, but what's so bad about more people being exposed to classic films, even if it's through means that are sketchy?

Of course the AI slop posters on Prime are horrible, but then shit artwork was totally normal for VHS and DVD releases as well. AI is replacing those, not stuff like the beautiful Criterion covers. And if it drives engagement for stuff like the original Nosferatu version, why not?
