this article is really good with a lot of well researched interviews and perspectives and context as to what was going on in the studio. but sometimes. sometimes there's really only one sentence that speaks louder than all the others

"An AI agent went rogue" also feels like a test drive for an era when no one is responsible for the worst things these products do. Seems like a standard that could be really convenient for certain governments.

Why is this important? It's important because if you're not trans and you look at these dynamics - which can absolutely be annoying and unpleasant - and think "cult" you're not responding to the actual dynamics of the group, you are responding to prejudice against trans people in your head.

Strange mindset going on that you must've grown up with a long running series to be a fan or it's too late (Metal Gear, Kingdom Hearts, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby etc). "I wish I was a fan because the new game looks cool!" Wild suggestion: You can PLAY the games & become a fan! Nothing's stopping u!

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

When all of the worst fucking people you have *ever* seen are transphobic, being pro-trans is a huge way of indicating that you actually might disagree with them. Dem centrists, by constantly trying to throw trans people into the woodchipper too, indicate how much they agree with these freaks.

I think one of the hard things about not getting sucked into online Discourse is that it's often about important things, but at the end of the day it's all in service of the maw of social media
It’s not a giant controversy in the scheme of things, but it’s far removed enough from the things that comprise the bulk of my social media that I have broken many of my personal rules and keep searching for people talking about it. (It probably helps that I refuse to get a TikTok account, so I can’t gorge on whatever horrors are surely going on over there.) My behavior highlights to me one of the insidious things about social media: The discourse around the whole thing is so niche and minor, but at the same time it touches on important bigger picture questions about language and national identity. The real weight underneath it all has, if I’m honest, become the excuse I use to just indulge in the ugly habits social media fosters to keep us hooked. I name-search and scroll and gawk at the arguments, decide people I’ve never met are “good” or “bad,” and tell myself I’m learning something about a culture different from my own when really I’m only seeing a small, curated slice crafted by people who are building their personal brands. The drama has opened my eyes to aspects of the language that are removed from me as an American learning it for fun, but I’m not doing anything with that new knowledge; I'm just scrolling social media instead of doing the myriad better things I could be doing with my time, including actually studying my own Irish.

I don't really understand the impulse some people have to comment on low stakes thing "oh, you didn't know this? are you stupid? lol" type stuff. No one knows everything, not even things they're into. It's a weird thing to do. You can offer the same info without the snark.

This is 100% why people who've been on X for years now get so weirdly bummed out by Bluesky or any other site. It isn't that bsky is a 'bubble', it's that being a shithead in the replies gets you an immediate nuclear-block, rather than immediately rewarded with Skinner-box treats

AI is a scourge. But it is important not to trust "AI detectors". I lost regular freelancing work because my client insisted I used AI to write copy (I didn't, but their AI detecting software said I did). This is a great thread with an excellent example of why these detectors cannot be trusted.

I have many theories of slop, but my current Theory of Slop is that what makes slop "slop" and not just "bad art" is that slop only ever aims to sate a desire created by past experiences of art rather than to create a new experience to be desired.

Discourse on ‘wokeness’ is a deflection from the actual political stakes of this moment and it is in itself literally (per Rufo!) a conceptual weapon the right deploys against us to cause material and political harm.
