Not sure why anyone bothers with anti-AI activism when the most effective strategy would be to just point as many microphones as possible to its most vocal champions.

![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.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5vphilwcf6nunioeyrpxw6g/bafkreibeadpx66jtqlttglhgbgkew6g65haxqngz5yt6p3ybwyi5zney54)
![A screenshot of a quote that reads:
"It's not cool when people are blinded by success stories. That's why I explicitly don't want to say 'okay, this is how you make a game that sells 60 million copies.' I have no clue how to make a game that sells 60 million. I don't expect the second game to sell 60 million," he adds.
"Being delusional [and saying] I will make a game and be rich is the wrong motivator. It should just be 'I want to make a game and release a game.' That's a good goal. Wanting to make something fresh, something new, is an even better goal. Both of those things are achievable. Making a successful game? If you make that your goal, there's a big chance you might end up disappointed. But if you follow the first or especially the second, there is a slight chance like in a lottery. You'll have bought your ticket."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t53ijuodvbcjbislhyu6te4r/bafkreiasj7fdmhnbgc2qon4ajdjychixtxk55bqqmwrcrupli5djb3umb4)
