I hope I have the AI Skeptic tag On Here. In fact it needs to go further: I am an AI hater because the people making and selling it have no regard for people, labor, or the humanity in creativity and therefore the product is dangerous.

The difference between "tilly norwood" & a traditional cartoon is the cartoon has a human voice actor, director, & writer, working in concert to create a performance. The reason to call Characters by their in-world pronouns & "Norwood" an It, is that the SPECIFIC INTENT of it is to replace actors—…

Again: "Tilly Norwood" is not a person; it is a shoddy, and also pretty gross puppet. Stop referring to it as "she," and start asking whether there might be something a bit off about wanting to promote a sexualized but also childlike "actor" that can never tell its creators or users "no."

Several folks are rolling “crowd sourced” TTRPG-related databases. I love data! But I love SUSTAINABLE projects. Any site aiming to collect data (ESPECIALLY now) should have a page detailing: - metadata structure - initial seed corpus - intended audience - tech documentation - interoperability

The time to push candidates toward more progressive policies is NOT after they get in office. It’s before. We have to look out for everybody. That may include a type of person that is not in your life!

it's antisemitic for a non Jewish person to deny Jewish identity to Jewish people he dislikes. It's racist for a white person to deny that Black people are Black if they don't vote for him.

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…

as a reporter who covers trans people in texas i think one underrated reason trans people get so antsy at Dem attempts to thread the needle on trans attacks is that as soon as trump won in 2024 you had pundits blaming trans people for the result. it takes a toll on people

I don't like genAI for MANY reasons but one of the most obvious reasons is bcuz it's just an extension of a battle artists were already fighting. People are TERRIBLE about crediting artists. It's always been a problem but genAI offers an easy excuse to not think of artists as real people.

The fun part about a representative democracy is that it's the job of citizens to speak up when their representative isn't representing them. Telling folks not to critique the flaws of your favorite politician because they are your preferred party is cop shit.

A transphobic Democrat is only better in the short term and only for people who are cis. In the long term it leads to degrading the rights of every marginalized person. And more importantly, a transphobic Democrat is bad for trans people RIGHT NOW.

This is not quite right - blogging, podcasts, and wikipedia were considered *declassé* not slop, because the *people who made them* were considered unverified outsiders when we still had gatekeepers. AI slop is considered thus because there's nobody home behind the byline.
