Extraordinary words in this interview with Daniel Kwan (Everything Everywhere all at Once) www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
![Kwan offered final (profound) words to close the conversation.
"To learn about [Al] is to basically have to say goodbye to the future you thought was going to happen. And that requires a mourning process. I just want to acknowledge that for some of you this is normal and fine, youve heard all this stuff and it's not a big deal. But for others, this is really hard stuff to handle," Kwan said. "The fact that Hollywood might not happen [to] exist anymore, the fact that all these institutions might be replaced by something else, were saying goodbye to the future, and there's a little bit of grief in that.
Who knows if it's going to be good? Who knows if it's going to be bad? But it is fundamentally going to change. Give yourself the space."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zc6edrt5wdbastfb5j3mgblu/bafkreic4ag5rbjf7ngkjacbii3nbiswx257xs2gfd5b7yn6fiugxlkaap4@jpeg)

Interesting to see Affinity intentionally avoid the use of "AI" in the language of their new feature list, with all the segmentation/subject tool descriptions referring to "Machine Learning" and being super clear that these are local pre-trained models and your work won't be used for training.

The worst thing was that half way through the project started throwing up corrupted assets issues so I had to completely rip out a third party plugin and write my own version. It’s been one of those weeks
