If a tiny fraction of the resources deployed towards AI was invested instead in actual artists we'd be enjoying a renaissance rather than drowning in a sea of garbage

My students love horror games!
I’ve never thought about making one myself? I don’t really enjoy them..?
But what if it’s not exactly horror, just something…that’s horrifying in some way… as an artist?🤔💭

NHK documentary on August 2 about "Grave of the Fireflies" and 7 notebooks written by Isao Takahata that were found after his death.
The film was based on a novel, but also on the director's personal experience, who fled the bombings with his sister when he was 10.
