I'm reminded of a time a partnered streamer raided me a few times with very low numbers (no shade meant) and I wondered why... Checking third party sites I could see old clips and the exact point where support collapsed. When she transitioned from a bro fps gamer to a trans woman. It was harrowing.

Every time my chatters tell me what ad they got, I'm gonna go on a 15 minute unbroken rant about how much I hate that advertiser and buddy I got equal opportunity hating for EVERYONE. Twitch will not know peace.

I don't know when I will feel good enough to do this, but hopefully sometime this week I will do a special art stream where I will draw for donations for my health fund!! I want to advertise it but I just can't count on my health anymore to set a specific date. 🥹❤️‍🩹

I was lucky enough to get a key a while back for their demo. It was very good. Been waiting a long time and I'm super excited for when it comes out.

Given the talks we had this weekend, it might've been for the best it happened this way. Still a shame, and I hope you find something soon.

Good to have a reminder every once in a while. It's easy to do, and the problem is likely to get worse. So make it a habit.

"Okay but how does this fit with X you made?" or point out a logical fallacy in it. I NEED that pushback, those questions, that time to sit and consider and come up with newer outside the box variables. If I skipped all those steps it would all suck, trust me. The struggle always makes it better.

Add to much to it, things I never would've thought of without being given a chance to marinate on an idea and come up with competing options. That sometimes I look at a lore thing and go 'does this make sense, should I...' and I have options, and sometimes I need a person to needle me and say-

The point of how ideas are grown in steps is fascinating and very true. So many times creating I have the bulk of an idea for a concept I'm working on with my lore but... it isn't right, it's *okay* but I'm not happy with it. And that inspiration from life, the conversations with friends, they-

GDT's reddit AMA spitting fire www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

reddit comment:

Hello! Did you intend the ending of Pan’s labyrinth to be real or in Ofelia’s mind?

Guillermo Del Toro's reply:

My interpretation, and it's exclusively mine, is that it's real.

Because there's two things. One is what people call “The Shining Question.” The Shining Question is, Who opens the door for Jack to get out of the fridge? And Ofelia is in an attic with a guard outside her door, and she draws the door with the magic chalk, and she shows up in the labyrinth. So, the only way she could have gone into the labyrinth is the magic chalk. And the flower is real at the end. The flower that blooms in the dead tree. And the reason I think it’s real is because—and this is why I'm in favor of the human factor in art—I think that art does transform the world. You know?

Think about it for a second. One of the goals, with all this movement, is to make you believe that art is vulgar. That art is nothing special, and anybody can do art. That is like me telling you that I'm faster at running than Usain Bolt but I “run” in my motorcycle. Well, that's not the same. That’s not the same at all.

Art is important, and they want you to believe it isn't. It's part of the idea of control. The goal is not to have artificial intelligence. The goal is to foster natural stupidity. The goal is to foster you not looking for answers, and to trust yourself entirely to an engine. Look at the way we are dipping our toes into these things. We are starting to ask the machine, Is this true? For now, there's a correlation between reality and what the answers of the machine are. For now. But soon, we won't even investigate further. We will be told it's true. And if the machine is in the hands of somebody who should not be trusted, then your reality has been completely and utterly fucked. Because your intelligence ends at the question. You don't seek the answer. It's given to you.

Q: You recently mentioned that AI creates 'semi-compelling screensavers' and that you'd 'rather die' than use it. As a filmmaker who relies heavily on practical effects and creature design, what do you think is the biggest thing lost when a computer generates an image instead of a human hand?

GDT:

The three quarters of the process that gave you the chance to think of the idea that people don't think about without that process. Meaning, AI can get you to the middle really fast, but there's a dialectic with the process that gets you to that top 10%. I'll give you an example with the Pale Man.

We sculpted it as an old man, with a face. And then I said, Let's take out the face. This happened because I saw a photo of a manta ray and the poster for Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. That combination, which happened at two different times during a week or a month, are not permutations that are chemically part of an equation. They are alchemy. And then I said, Take out the face, and then I said, Let's put the eyes on the hands. This triangulation happens because I spent a month or two months living with the idea of this creature. And it's not linear.

AI is like a super-fast engine that makes semi-sentient permutations of things that are already done. Creation is things that have never been done. Coming to exist.

And the second thing is the loss of the apprenticeship that one has as an artist. You're never a master; you're always an apprentice. This is a kinship I have with, for example, Chris Nolan. When he showed me The Odyssey, there’s a scene when Matt Damon is floating in the stormy ocean and I asked him—because we were talking about practical effects, and how great it is and that we both always use a maquette or a model—and I asked him, How did you do it? He said, “We put him in a storm in the ocean.”

And you're gonna find that 30% of a great image occurs accidentally. You know, either a drop of water hits the lens, or the camera shakes. I remember when in 1993, '94, Jim…

But then that's just the Buggalo from Futurama, the one Amy Wong's parents had on Mars! And yes, aphids.

But like. I can't just remake cows or sheep and trying to think of what makes logical sense is just me making cows or sheep with an alien coat of paint. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Trying to think up cool ideas for alien lore that isn't just "stuff from earth but with all alien filter on it" and I'm slowly getting more and more annoyed at how earth evolution has been so goddamn efficient at survival traits. "You need a species of herdbeast type thing for food."
