I wonder how his Munsters movie is. I'm guessing by the little I've heard of it since release, probably about the same.

"i put minecraft in elden ring" "i put tarkov in skyrim" its fascinating to see what a completely uncreative mind spits out when granted the ability to generate mods via AI Code. it's some ready player one bs. every time.

Canada is refusing to issue ISBNs to books primarily generated with AI. This illustrates both the urgency of the problem of the growing flood of slop books, and also the toothlessness of addressing it on the honor system without there also being consequences for lying
Use of artificial intelligence
By registering with ISBN Canada, you declare that your book was created by a human author. You may use AI tools only for limited support tasks, such as brainstorming ideas, checking grammar, or formatting your book. You must not use AI to generate the text, create the artwork, or translate the book. ISBN Canada does not issue ISBNs for works whose content is primarily generated by AI. LAC is currently reviewing its policy regarding the use of AI content creation and our guidance is subject to change.

This seems like exactly the AI brain. They don't want to spend time doing it, but they want to "WIN." They don't respect it but they must be insufferable to their friends who want to spend time doing it and gloat about what AI did like the result had anything to do with them.

Easier to sell the business when they move. Capitalism basically. It’s hard to sell an office space with a big red roof and fries on it, but not as hard to sell a brand ass grey building. In short capitalism destroys creativity.

Rod Serling was a king. WWII paratrooper in “The Death Squad,” TV pioneer, LOUD critic of McCarthyism who knew his status as a war hero put him in a privileged position to call shit out. Wrote critiques of racism into his scripts, created The Twilight Zone to escape the censorship that brought on.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
