Volcano sandbox campaign: an earthquake collapsed a magma chamber, exposing a cross section of ancient city with treasure to plunder. Each day there's a 1% chance of (the big one) eruption, plus chances of other vents opening up in random locations. Grab as much as you can before it blows.

Okay, I am making this: www.imaginaryhistory.org/untitledunde... Let me know if you'd like to claim a section. First Phase ends December 31st. I will 100% be extremely slow about keeping up with updating things, but I promise to get there eventually.

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.
