Decided to take advantage of the Flash Sale for the Criterion Collection. A lot of films that I love, one new watch for research purposes, and a pre-order that I couldn't help but cop because man... @realgdt.bsky.social's Nightmare Alley is too enticing to pass up. I HAVE to see that B&W version.

Got to see Kevin Smith today at the El Paso Film Festival today, and was BLESSED by Lloyd Kaufman of Troma! Ran into the latter twice and he told a dad joke to my fiancé.

What a night. What a town.

Also, she has the gall to say that the Bible doesn't say anything about immigrants or about genders... BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE VERSES IN THE BIBLE ABOUT IMMIGRANTS. I found out about that during No Kings Day in my hometown!

Like -- just thinking away from my own feelings on pro-life vs. pro-choice, how is it more empathetic to force the mom to give birth to a baby that is literally going to die, and then having her give a funeral to this dead child, and making a bigger thing about it? It's all around fucked...

Name a movie you've watched more than 6 times!

(Extra Hard Mode: No English Language Films!)

I give TWO.

Recorded episode 11...

I broke both of them. @gwenlovesmovies.bsky.social and @chimerafilms.bsky.social and myself made a first on our show, 11 episodes in...

I dunno what's better: the fact that they loved one of my favorite movies of all time, the fact that I short-circuited their brain chemistry, or the fact that I just pulled one of the most devious tricks on them for a future episode?

OH MY GOD FUCKING YES!!!!!

Now just do The Last Boy Scout and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and @arrowvideo.bsky.social, MY LIFE IS YOURS!

For the record, pretty good movie! Even though I got my own knit picks, it draws you in with the insanity of the film and it's got this breakneck rhythm that never lets you go. I'm investing a lotta stock in Gabriel LaBelle though. GOD this guy's a star! He's got some great comedic instincts!

This was supposed to be a quick little video... but this is a longer script than the Malcolm X video.

"Scripting" my favorite and least favorite films I saw for the first time in 2024. My favorites are... a lot harder than I thought.

A preview for the next video.

See y'all in 2025 for "Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and The Art of Music Videos"!

This got me even more curious. I looked at Gossip, and that was EVEN MORE egregious! That channel was created in OCTOBER. OF THIS YEAR.

What happened in October of this year? The same month Kendrick won BIG at the BET Awards. These two channels are straight up A.I. content farms. And not GOOD ONES.
December 22, 2024 at 8:59 AM
AND. When I looked at the most recent video, it sounds even MORE like A.I. Even the way that the title is made, it feels like it was either edited, or done through Chat GPT.

It would've ended there... but I was curious. I looked at when the channel was created.

May 7th. 3 days after Not Like Us...
December 22, 2024 at 8:59 AM
Now if you're subbed to me, you know I can't judge any hiatus' from creators. I've literally taken years between uploads, and sometimes some creators take months between uploads. But they uploaded consistently 6 months ago, then dried up, and came back full force 8 days ago, and hasn't stopped. Huh.
December 22, 2024 at 8:59 AM
But while I was waiting for their reply, because I've already been deep in this rabbit hole now. So I looked at their video entitled "Kanye SUPPORTS Drake for This Reason". And I got my proof. So they have used A.I. in the past. But I got a response from the channel. Apparently the voice is real???
December 22, 2024 at 8:59 AM
I couldn't help it. I asked in response to that if they were using A.I. Real simple question, and I feel while I was a bit confrontational with it, I thought that I was asking in a pretty fair way, also while being a reply with another user. Which, by the way, thanks Xadflames for checking my vids!
December 22, 2024 at 8:59 AM
But it was evidently enough of a doubt for people that they asked Chain in the comments if it was A.I. And the response... raised my brows. This channel only has 88 subscribers, but they're talking about talking to the "publisher?" It just sounded off, they used a wrong photo, and mispronounce SZA!
December 22, 2024 at 8:59 AM
What makes this even weirder is the fact that when I noticed what was going on, I went back to their past videos, and they had THIS person as the face for the channel. This was from the video where they admitted to using A.I. But the video seemed... normal, albeit amateur with green screen masking.
December 22, 2024 at 8:59 AM
The easiest one to tackle is Gossip on the Beat. Gossip not only clearly sounds like an A.I. voice, but they also openly admitted to the fact that they used A.I. in their comments in a big crash out in the comments. Also, in one of their latest videos, which played for me, they have an A.I. "model."
December 22, 2024 at 8:59 AM
While I was listening to some videos while doing some research for articles about Kendrick's approach to music videos, seeing Drake's videos, extra information on that...

I found these two channels. Gossip on the Beat, and Chain Fame. I'm not linking them because I don't respect these "creators".
December 22, 2024 at 8:59 AM
So... this is weird, but I wanted to go ahead and dig into this as maybe a warning, especially since I have a relatively small following. But I wanted to warn you guys of some small A.I. channels I've seen on YouTube.

Brace yourself... this is a thread, about A.I. use, and content farming. 📌
