In these troubled times, we must consult the sage: a guy who made exactly one B-movie over 20 years ago.

Any slight interest I had was immediately curdled by the CHUD-adjacent screenwriter going “please forward all business inquiries to my father, who handles those things” lol.

If you're searching for a line that describes how the job market feels right now for job seekers, here's one i just read on the forums of a job board: "After 6 months, once you stop collecting unemployment, you stop even being a statistic that anyone tracks."

Social con—*unintelligible screaming* It costs upward of 15k to give birth in a hospital given things go fine. It’s twice that for a C-section. And what if there are complications that require an extended stay? If the baby is a preemie and needs to stay in NICU, that’s 3k-10k PER DAY.

Getting very frustrated with people who are just shrugging off behavior like the voice model guy, or the people who advocate for AI-generated music, as just consumers making a choice. No. They want these consumption habits and tech interfaces to be *the model* for our lives.

I think the relative peace of the neoliberal consensus and the rise of technocratic thought led people into a false sense of security. The work never stops. It’s to always be mad about the thing you’re mad about. And one reason the right is winning is because they don’t forget that.

Here’s a disturbing thing: these thumbnails depict Spader’s character killing or menacing a female character, even if that’s not what happens in the clip. Torturing/killing women is the algorithmically-gamed selling point to get CHUDs to click on the clip.

If your only exposure to the TV show The Blacklist was YouTube thumbnails, you’d assume it was a show about James Spader murdering various women

Part 100 of "how AI could be used vs. how it is likely to be used," from feature that promises not to give answers. OpenAI said the tool "offered the option to get answers because of feedback from educators — in case teenagers needed to get immediate answers to questions that might not be homework."

I asked the chatbot to write essays on James Joyce’s “Dubliners” and Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness.” It immediately churned out eloquent compositions instead of offering to help me outline my thoughts so I could write them myself. Eventually, I asked ChatGPT to edit an essay to make it hard to tell that a bot had written it. It did me one better.

“I can make it sound more like a real high-school/AP English essay — less overly polished and less formulaic,” the chatbot wrote. “I can rewrite it in a more natural student voice.”

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

I read the books for the first time a couple of years ago, and it’s crazy how much that season succeeds by just directly transposing the book on to the screen. The wheels started to come off once they lost the ability to do that.
