I've often thought that the color on a lot of the Disney and Pixar movies I grew up watching seemed off on newer releases, and it turns out I was right! Animation Obsessive has a great new piece about it, using Toy Story as a major example.

Yet another example of how genAI and its use has leeched money out of the ecosystem that keeps actual human being who write books financially afloat. Appearing in a traditional press outlet can boost sales and library loans and in the UK, the latter gives a tiny bit of money to authors for each loan

Imagine, if you will, a very common situation: now imagine if a computer could interact with that situation, make it an exponentially worse experience AND use a biblical drought's worth of water!
