Really hoping that they keep it in theaters longer, the word of mouth factor is what pushed Pixar's Elemental from a first weekend flop to a ~$500M movie. This movie is going to do absurdly well when it eventually hits Netflix.

It's really a shame how I'd be excited about Brad Bird's RAY GUNN if it weren't just going to prove that men like John Lasseter can sexually harass employees and still have careers in Hollywood 😐

For what its worth, the last time I was in a Waymo at night, it stopped in the middle of the road for seemingly no reason. But when I looked at the LiDAR screen, it had actually detected a small black cat in the middle of the road. The car waited for it to cross the street before continuing.

I was looking forward to the Xbox Ally but these reviews have me hesitating on getting one, and instead looking at the Steam Deck. However, the button / joystick layout is quite jarring. Can anyone with a Steam Deck comment on the ergonomics and how comfy this layout is? Am I overthinking this?

Breaking news: the "AI first" company is relying on the hard work of real human artists at Titmouse to give them high quality animation instead of using Generative AI because "AI first" is a meaningless slogan designed solely to get likes on LinkedIn.

Like I've said before, GenAI will not be stopped by regulation or advocacy - it'll be stopped by copyright infringement. Disney, Universal, & Warner Bros are suing Midjourney, not because of their diffusion model, but bc of their stolen training data. Best believe that if they win, OpenAI is next.

I'm sorry but the budget for this tech demo STILL being $30M feels like money laundering. How are you using low-cost services like ChatGPT & Sora to generate all animation & assets, yet your budget is still 4 times more expensive than "Flow" (~$6M)? Can't wait for Cannes to reject this movie lol

One Grubhub commercial has done more damage to the modern Western animation industry than anything else in recent memory. It’s handed the loud uninformed critics fresh ammo to accuse Pixar’s recent films of looking “AI-generated” / “soulless,” which kills the reach of great stories like #Elio.
