The Dems are ramping up the anti-trans rhetoric specifically for the purpose of being able to kite farther to the right when they get elected, using their (large, one must at least entertain) margins of victory to justify these policy choices and further entrench them.

In that new @sophiefrommars.bsky.social video she highlights Ezra Klein saying that "the role I want to have is a person curiously exploring his political and intellectual interests in political peace time" and I deeply believe this is the exact brain worm that motivated(/s) Epstine and his ilk

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.

I think it's fine. Each piece is detailed enough that they feel as though they were made by a skilled, separate crafter.

The most powerful and wealthy people in the world all have the highest-possible stakes riding on investments in a technology that is actively repatterning people's minds to push the very appreciation and creation of art itself to the margins of society in lieu of personal expression via consumption.

Hanlon's razor, as a rule, is obviously true. If someone is a paid communicator, however, the relationship should just as obviously be understood as inverted.

How long until straight people come up with an app that lets them spoof texts to their spouses by routing them to Claude in real-time? They already do it manually, so why suffer even the slightest shadow of guilt when coming up with a fresh prompt every time? Go ahead, automate that emotion away too

A little Kasho Takabatake artbook just arrived earlier today, I've been pouring over it. He was an incredibly prolific illustrator of the Taisho-Roman scene, and his work for girls and womens magazines made him a very significant figure in the history of bishounen art.

it's always odd when "you should expose yourself to more diverse ideas" always means a certain kind of conservatism instead of like, Indigenous art, new fusion foods, math paradoxes, or the Dvorak keyboard layout

Lol the mass of employed living labor is continually in decline as compared to the mass of materialized labor set in motion by it, so it follows that the portion of living labor must also be continually on the decrease compared to the amount of value represented by the invested total capital lmao

While Wes Craven's New Nightmare revisits the ghosts of the past in order to perform a metatextual autopsy of its franchise, Jason X glares defiantly into the future, dragging the (sometimes literal) simulacrum of its franchise into the postmodern era where truth is both subjective and irrelevant

A fine example of how executives aren’t where they are because they’re competent, clever, or useful. The job exists to give mediocre rich people something to pretend to do.

Such a shame about Aronovsky and the AI nonsense. No matter what he does, the underlying dynamic is subordination of art and labor to capital accumulation. His "ethical pipeline" is just a branding layer while the competitive pressure pushes everyone toward deskilling and layoffs.

This is Iraq War style propaganda: They make the face of a well-researched, (near) academic consensus, that isn't egregiously controversial among experts on the subject... and make the face of it a famous but uncredentialed young woman so they can pretend it's vacuous and naive.
