One of the things that creeps me out in the way the tech bros talk about AGI is that they seem to *want* AI to be conscious *and* obedient, because it not being conscious seems unsatisfactory for their master/slave relationship.

Several people have asked about VAST OF NIGHT recently, as it's no longer streaming on Amazon. Spoke with director Andrew Patterson about it last night and he took the rights back, partnered with someone, and a physical and new streaming release is coming soon. So VAST OF NIGHT is coming back!

This was incredibly common back in the day. Elsa Lanchester wrote in her autobiography about how she would often be paid to play “the other woman” so couples could get divorced. She would check into a hotel with a man, he would leave, she’d spend a nice night at the hotel.

She’s probably best known for playing the Bride of Frankenstein, but she was a fantastic actor and dancer, and married to Charles Laughton, who was one of the best character actors of the early 20th century, and a fantastic director. And also gay. Her book Elsa Lanchester, Herself, is INCREDIBLE.

Das Gutachten der Rechtanwaltssozietät Spirit Legal im Auftrag des Berufsverbands AudioVisuelle Übersetzer*innen (AVÜ e.V.) bewertet das "Assignment of Rights Agreement" (AOR-Vertrag), das Netflix seit Anfang des jahres einsetzt. Betroffen sind bisher Übersetzer*innen für die Synchronisation, Voiceover-Dialgobuchautor*innen und Audiodeskriptor*innen. Der AOR-Vertrag ist auf Synchronschauspieler*innen zugeschnitten. Da zeigt sich nicht nur äußerlich. So ignoriert das Deckblatt die Gewerke Voiceover-Dialogbücher, Untertitel und Audiodeskriptionen gänzlich. Dennoch gilt: Wer ihn unterschreibt, ist gebunden.Der Vertrag erlaubt Netlix, sämtliche Arbeitsergebnisse für KI-Training und die Bearbeitung mit KI-Systemen zu nutzen. Zustimmungsmechanismen, welche die Synrchonschauspieler*innen zumindest in manchen Szenarien schützen, fehlen jedoch für alle anderen Gewerke. Die KI-Klausel ist dabei nur ein Ausschnitt aus einem umfassenden Rechtepaket, welches sich Netflix an den Arbeitsergebnissen sichert. Die Unterzeichner*innen erhalten keine Gegenleistung über das normale Honorar hinaus. eine gesonderte Vergütung für den KI-Einsatz ist darin nicht enthalten. Auch die einbezogenen Gemeinsamen Vergütungsregelungen Synrchon (Netflix GVR-Syncrhon) schaffen keinen Ausgleich. Untertitel und Audiodeskription kommen dort nicht vor. Ob Übersetzungen für Synchronisation und Voiceover in der GVR-Synchron erfasst sind, bleibt unklar.Zur umfassenden Rechteübertragung tritt eine Beschränkung der Rechtsdurchsetzung. Die Unterzeicher*innen verzichten auf Rechte und Verfahren, die ihnen Netflix gegenüber gesetztlich zustünden. So schließt der AOR-Vertrag etwa einstweiligen Rechtsschutz gegen die Herstellung oder Verwertung des Projekts aus. Auskunftsansprüche, mit denen sich ein Anrecht auf einen erfolgsbasierte Folgevergütung überhaupt überprüfen ließe, geben die Unterzeicner*innen ebenfalls aus  der Hand. Rechtliche Schritte gegen den Konzern werden dadurch erheblich erschwert.Mit der Sorge um die Folgen der Vertragsunterzeichnung für seine Mitglieder ist der AVÜ nicht allein. So hat der Verband deutscher Sprecher*innen (VDS) bereits ein Rechtsgutachten in Auftrag gegeben, das den AOR-Vertrag wegen der unabsehbaren praktischen Auswirkungen der KI-Trainingsklausel für dessen Mitglieder kritisch sieht und zentrale Klauseln für rechtwidrig befindet.

In Madagaskar etwa arbeiten Menschen in Echtzeit als unsichtbare Ersatz-KI.

I feel compelled to talk about Cecil B DeMille's THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY (1925), which is an insane movie based on an insane stage play. It's a time travel romance in which two modern couples are hurtled back to Elizabethan times via a train crash and that's the more normal part of the film.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

First Christopher Miller clarifies, now Phil Lord. I am extremely grateful for them putting out this information.
there are (of course) over 2000 digital vfx shots! Every exterior ship shot (sorry to disappoint but we did not travel to space for this production) and plenty of set extensions indoors, and the in camera vix still require removing puppeteers adding arms etc. Half of Rocky's performance is cg animation with invention and character in every shot.
While there were no green screens there was plenty of roto and grays and seamless work by digital artists!

you can all stop asking me to comment now "Project Hail Mary" (2026)
Chris Miller: Some clarification here: "no green screen" doesn't mean "no VFX".
There were, in fact, thousands of VFX shots in the film (2018!)
Green screen is sometimes used in lieu of building sets or figuring out locations/lighting in advance, which can be noticeable if not done carefully, and is something we didn't want to do. We built the entire interior of the Hail Mary ship - but within the ship, there were still wire and puppeteer removals and ceiling replacements, etc. When Ryan is outside on the hull of the ship, we shot him in front of a black background for space and a shifting hue background when he was up against the aurora of a planet which allowed for truer interactive light on him than a green screen would. The wide space exteriors and spaceship shots were entirely digital and beautifully done by ILM. Rocky was a seamless blend of puppetry and animation from Framestore. And other great work from many more. It really does take a village and we had the best of the best on our side.
