@usuallypregnant Make a law that publishes the names of women who abort in a public register and a majority of abortions will stop, guaranteed. The reality is that abortion is a way to cheat society and to pretend to be something one is not.

girls, can we AT LEAST be HONEST please??

@TheCinesthetic Let's see. Mad max with tired boss babes and blatantly obvious CG everywhere? How does it feel to have awful taste? No, not in movies. In realities.

Hard to believe some people don’t like this movie.

@Zmeinir No. It worked fine so far!

Tip for artists: if you do this, stop ASAP

@STRAUSS_NFT @nostalgicfile The moon landing was fake but NFTs are real? What are you taking?

@nostalgicfile Now we know why everyone during this era believed the moon landing was real.

Batman (1966) was so unserious

@Renklaff @pmarca Thanks to technology we don't just die from things like the plague, but that's testing and sanitation before even vaccination. And we don't starve. So clearly some technology helps, but when it hurts millions of people and makes life worse, it clearly needs limits too 2/2

@Renklaff @pmarca Higher compared to what? Basic examples. Would you call the obesity epidemic in the US a "higher standard of living"? Or deaths attributed to pollution? Or medical accidents forming the first cause of death in many countries? Or diseases of modernity like heart disease? 1/2

Almost everything you think you know about the history of technology and capitalism was warped by communist/luddite propaganda of the era. That's happening this time too.

@CreationsOz @AnushkaaTyagii @cryptopunk7213 Art is how society expresses its collective desires. There are amazing films, plays and music albums, and they're all amazing because of the human communication of dreams and emotion in them. So we need even more personal expression, but AI doesn't help it, it replaces it.

@HeatRayCaravel @AnushkaaTyagii @cryptopunk7213 I hope we all go back to the theatre

genuine question: why are the arts and gaming communities so fucking touchy about ai? i get that 99% of examples are slop but we’re reaching a point where ai-generated media is indistinguishable for 90% of the world that shouldn’t go un-acknowledged just because you want to hide behind a professional identity ai isn’t going away, it’s getting (a lot) better, so why not try and figure out how to work with it to your advantage? isn’t that what a bunch of hollywood is realising now? doomer: “NO THIS IS NOWHERE CLOSE TO PIXAR GRADE” 8 year old (target audience): “haha that’s awesome” what am i missing?

@ScienceBrewed @TheCinesthetic Because you can listen to the OST online and get 90% of what the movie has to offer

@TheCinesthetic And why haven’t they made a horrifically lame reboot of this beloved movie?

At what point did Disney think it was a good idea to stop making animation this incredible?

@Raflamar120719 @DBZimran These were interesting. The animation, characters and concepts were fantastic and creative, but the editing and writing was all over the place. Indeed it feels like the company was internally over the place at that time and lacking in direction. I love watching these in pieces

@DBZimran And again these two go forgetten... they were Disney's last big 2D animated, and deliberately gave no advertising and short cinema runs so no one knew or paid to see them, making it seem like no one was interested in 2D anymore despite these films being amazing

Disney employed 2,200 animators who made Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Tarzan. By 2013, nearly all of them were gone. Fired. The people who built Disney’s legacy were shown the door because executives thought the problem was 2D animation. It wasn’t. It was bad storytelling.

@CensoredHumans Someone never heard of the Esau Gambit.

🇮🇱🇵🇸Zionist woman LOSES HER MIND after meeting Jews standing for Palestine You can see her brainwashed worldview crumble in real time

@Rahll @hasen_95dx He used a bad example, but it's true that pushing further has hit diminishing returns, like we saw with raytracing and comically so with DLSS5. Quality and fidelity are different things and it's time to make the difference mainstream.

@hasen_95dx Lol, "Water effect on the camera lens obscuring the entire view is peak graphics." Just like a VHS filter and camera shake on a bodycam style viewpoint is peak realism, right? You're juiced up over post processing effects meant to trick your eye under very specific scenarios.

Graphics peaked around 2015. There's really no point in adding more graphics capabilities. You're beyond the point of diminishing returns. You can just use 2015 technology and make good games.

@GenericSnarky You can tell a tv show is written by a Jew by the humor it uses a lot of time. Just to say, they ARE culturally different.

Pop Quiz: was this article written by a jew or a nazi? It's not easy to tell sometimes. (Answer in replies)

@St1ka For now they're still easy to avoid. If they become too intrusive then we'll just have to filter them out through extensions. Xitter already has an extension to signal AI users. I notice some music compilation channels trying to sneak fake music in. Instant block for those

I've been seeing more and more retro gaming youtube channels that use fake AI screenshots of games that don't exist for their thumbs, AI voice overs and scripts that feel like they were written by AI. At that stage, what's even the point of following a creator?

@lilxanathustra @hoja_fantasma @cryptopunk7213 That's like asking if people love being CEOs because they love their companies or because they love CEO wages. The two aren't separate. Human beings like being rewarded for the things they do, it's how the brain works through positive reinforcement.

@HeatRayCaravel @hoja_fantasma @cryptopunk7213 Are they making art because they love living off being an artist or because they love making art? You’re aware at least some of this wave is directly a response to artists forgetting the nature of the relationship between themselves and their patrons, right?

@TraderMegaMan @cryptopunk7213 I need to drive to work. I don't need to watch AI slop. Do people buy music CDs now that music available on spotify? Music industry revenue in 2014 were HALF of what they were in 1990. This is what AI will do to all media. Today all music revenue is concentrated to a few people.

@HeatRayCaravel @cryptopunk7213 Do you drive a car or a horse to work?

@lilxanathustra @hoja_fantasma @cryptopunk7213 Who's going to pay them to keep making art they love? Also it's delusional to think people will keep making art in the same creative way once they know millions of derivative works are being made right now to compete with them.

@hoja_fantasma @cryptopunk7213 Presumably people who genuinely love making art.

@hoja_fantasma @cryptopunk7213 "Using it to your advantage" is impossible. It can replace EVERYTHING you do with surrogates that are rip offs at the same time. What can a creative do with this beyond self-delusion? The best AI can do for creatives is make them insane and morally bankrupt, not "aid" them.

@cryptopunk7213 Because I genuinely love art. Also, I don't consider an advantage an exploitative tech that compete with the very humans it is trained on. And in the long term, whose work is going to keep feeding the machine?

@riskoriented @AnushkaaTyagii @cryptopunk7213 i like that you refuse to elaborate, so you come off as a scammer

@AnushkaaTyagii @cryptopunk7213 As a former creative director that became an engineer and wrote a thesis on this, You're gonna be fine. It's downhill from here. This is peak, and it's limited to ten second shots.
