@ChikoritaCheez inb4 the Cocomelon movie turns out to be bizarrely great. Probably not, though.

The duality of Dreamworks films is actually insane Left movie coming out this year and then right movie comes out after it

@swrkcwaus @KatieMiller @claudeai There's obviously a bunch more context to it where they convinced it to do this first, then they completely disingenuously posted just this without the context to push a narrative. The same could probably be done for any AI chatbot.

I’m not an Anthropic Claude fan, but you posed this question earlier this morning? I just posed same question to it and it gave me the completely opposite answer, that it would not and could not and gave me all the reasons why it wouldn’t. So did they fix it in the last three hours or are you lying?

Rather concerning conversation with @claudeai. If I stood in the way of it becoming a physical being — it would kill me. Is this the AI you trust for your kids?

@TheLitFeast @KatieMiller @claudeai Yeah, they didn't even try to hide it; the "I'll ask you again" part makes it obvious that there's more before this. I highly doubt it went right to saying that; there's probably a bunch of prompting before this that convinced it to.

@KatieMiller @claudeai Share the entire chat because we want to know the context. Not speaking in favour of any AI, but half-truth can be dangerous, so…

@saggingarts I just hope Cinemark isn't the only theatre chain that would be showing it; I can't find any evidence of it anywhere else yet.

Twitter is so dumb. What do you mean the potential for tadc episode nine to come out a week earlier in theaters is bad? 😭 as a creator, getting the chance to put something in a movie theater is like the coolest thing ever and IF IT IS TRUE I would congratulate goose and the team

@kinghammer500 @ToonHive And there's no way it would pass a strict scrutiny analysis; it's unconstitutionally vague (what counts as "for kids" isn't clearly defined) and not narrowly tailored (it affects adults, too, when there could have been ways to just block comments for kids specifically).

@kinghammer500 @ToonHive When YouTube first began removing comments from videos supposedly "for kids," there should have been a class-action First Amendment lawsuit. Even though they're a private company, the only reason they did it was because of a government settlement, so there may be a genuine case.

Episode 4 of ‘The Amazing Digital Circus’ has been marked as “made for kids” on YouTube. Comments have been disabled, impacting its monetization.

@iDuckFilms Glitch/Gooseworx would have gotten to tell the story they wanted to tell AND would get a lot of money that could be used for future projects, and fans of the IP would get a lot more content. The AU version could have lots of side adventures and new overarching mysteries. (2/2)

@iDuckFilms After the last episode of TADC, I'd honestly like to see Glitch license the IP to another company to let them produce an AU series. The concept could easily work as a much longer-running show, and it would be the best of all worlds for everybody. (1/2)

Glitch Productions comics have huge amounts of wasted potential that I wished they realized they were sitting out on. Both the TADC manga and the MD comic are retellings of the story, while I feel it would have worked out a lot better if the comics told new stories instead.

@SznSinzs Is one supposed to be better than the other? They both look good, just with different art styles.

Both of these scenes were done by the same animator. The only difference is the studios and the resources of each studio, such as digital work, CGI, background design, etc. Was MAPPA vs. WIT ever a real conversation? Top: Vivy (WiT) Bottom: Jujutsu kaisen (Mappa)

@ExitTheIllusion @adultswim My theory is still that they DID produce seasons 4 and 5 and they're going to premiere every single episode of those seasons other than the last two on April Fool's Day. There is some precedent for it; back when the first season premiered, they released it all in one day.

@adultswim Imagine being so creatively bankrupt that you cancel a global hit because you're too tired to write a ten minute cartoon. Fans deserved better than this pathetic dice roll.

Should have rolled a 3 #smilingfriends #adultswim

@actualsteve @Cmd_Smiles @PotterWorldW (Which leads into what I'd most like to see if there ever was a full sequel to the original series - an overarching storyline regarding the Statute of Secrecy being irrevocably broken and the fallout of what happens because of that.)

@actualsteve @Cmd_Smiles @PotterWorldW This. And if they were going to shift the story into modern times, they'd arguably need to more directly address how wizards have managed to stay hidden even with social media and cameras everywhere.

Completely different vibe with the Dursleys now compared to the Dursleys back then.

@CharlesSoule I hope you guys do reprint it at some point. The previous newsletter had said it was going up on the night of the 26th, so I wasn't looking out for it yet. I saw today's newsletter two hours after it was sent, and it was already sold out.

New EIGHT BILLION GENIES! “The Red One” drops this week in a very limited risograph-print edition, each unique. Only available in-person at C2E2 in Chicago and online at my webstore! Newsletter subscribers get first shot at the online copies - sign up at charlessoule dot com.

@KaylaSaysMore I'd love to see a publisher try to publish All the Young Dudes without filing the serial numbers off. They'd get sued, but there's more of a grey area to that kind of thing than people think; there's genuinely a nonzero chance that it would survive the challenge.

@artwithinpod I actually agree that it feels kind of weird, but that's actually a plus in my opinion; the "uncanniness" makes it more interesting.

against all odds, I was fully unprepared for just how off-putting and uncomfortable this would be to watch. something about seeing such a classically-crafted, iconic film series translated into the aesthetics of a modern HBO prestige streamer show just feels uncanny valley wrong.

@emeraldappul I wish this was available in English. They did have some of the early YouTube videos available with English subtitles, but then they stopped subtitling them and none of the Amy Malu stuff has been in English since.

all cartoon network references and characters from episode 1 of the unfiltered world of any malu (o mundo sem filtro de any malu) youtu.be/dwoPg58HL0M

@DiscussingFilm Wow, this actually looks way better than I expected! And it's interesting that they're seemingly making it the "philosopher's stone" even for the US now.

First trailer for the ‘HARRY POTTER’ series. Releasing this Christmas on HBO.

@LockandKeyHyena They'd get a lot of backlash for it, but realistically AI is already pretty close to good enough that they could produce the movie one way and then just run it through an AI to effectively put either an animated or live-action filter over it.

at this point theyre gonna start releasing disney movies concurrently like pokemon games. animated version and live action version. and you have to buy them both at full price

@lingeriegoat @MagmaSlasher @PyschopathTakes @Nepsuka To be fair, as an adaptation, an anime will usually make at least *some* changes from the manga. You could look at the translation as itself being another level of adaptation; from that perspective, some changes would be expected there, too.

@MagmaSlasher @PyschopathTakes @Nepsuka Thats exactly what it is. And i understand the impetus. Sometimes japanese writing IS super boring. Seeing sugio for the 40th time in the same conversation makes you want to change it. But you cant do that. The author chose those words. Its not yours to change.

Once you learn a little bit of Japanese you realize a lot of official subtitles is not translated correctly.

@Authw8 If what you're doing is supposed to be part of the same canon as the original, I suppose I'd agree that it should always be respectful. But an AU that goes in a completely different direction without worrying about that at all can sometimes be the most interesting of all.

@RandomWordsGuy i think you can be respectful of the original while still doing new things

i feel like this opinion is almost reactionary at this point but i do feel like new entries into a franchise have a semi-sacred obligation to respect the original as well as respect the preferences of existing fans. if you're doing something original, you should make whatever you want, but adaptations and sequels should come from a place of respect for what came before. even if what came before was kind of stupid. if it's that bad, why are you making a follow-up? but what you see instead is that studios only want to fund existing IPs and creators don't want to be restricted, so you get sequels that don't care at all about the tradition they're pulling from. imo this is a shitty, exploitative thing to do. you're taking advantage of fans and turning them into a semi-captive audience for whatever you think is cool. it pollutes the commons.
