Gravity Falls fans are like Boards of Canada fans where they'd go insane when they see ANY new activity

i’m honestly still struggling to make sense of why rick rubin said yes to the polymarket ad. yes, it was an incredible creative video, but it goes against my mental model of who he is. im trying to understand: what series of life events caused him to think that would be a consistent and coherent act with his ethos? is this just a mercenary decision? how do i square this circle, what am i missing in my understanding of the world, polymarket and rick rubin
(not particularly interested in arguments legitimising polymarket, my assumed premise is that polymarket as a brand is not consistent with rick rubin’s previously stated ethos)

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

@AlexisYellow Were you born without a gag reflex or did it take time to learn to glaze like this

Few things take my breath away as fast as Wim Hof can… but Polymarket did it without asking me to inhale once.
- You are in the Middle of the FIFA World Cup.
- Kalshi attacks.
- but you are cooking.
- throw Rick Rubin (anti-commercial)
- Into the most trending market
- that is highly commercial
- sprinkle with Kanye West
10/10 for sound engineering.
8/10 for visuals.
20/10 for Rick Rubin.
Closest refence point would be Larry David from Super Bowl in 2022.

Questions are everything. Because the people who never stop asking are the ones who find answers.
English

@VictoriaFutures They have to be vague and metaphorical, because directly saying “use our crypto gambling site to profit off people dying in military actions” wouldn’t sound so noble
English

I am going to say I don’t understand this. The random celebrities in World Cup dress asking somewhat generic questions about the world. This is a bad way to tell the metaphor of searching.

@JaceSonnier If you murder someone with the book you’ll become part of Gravity Falls lore forever

@_AlexHirsch @ant_twig @jessesingal starting to think this is less about the practicality of using ai in lieu of stock images and more about your illogical hysteria over ai.
this deal in particular isn’t using training data from any of a24’s library and they explicitly state that. calm down
English

What would be wrong with using AI to help with storyboarding, which I think is the only concrete example provided here?

@vineholdersuper @ant_twig @jessesingal 👂🏻Still waiting to hear why you think your job is safe homie
English

@_AlexHirsch @ant_twig @jessesingal oh what melodrama. this isn’t a matter of disrespect to storyboard artists. in live action media, a lot of productions use stock images as is to simply demonstrate blocking and shot comp.
there’s hardly a difference in that and using ai to move on to the next step

Anyone dismissing the creativity on display at Cannes Lions clearly didn’t see the Pillsbury Doughboy drone light show…

This is the best rant about Cannes Lions I’ve ever seen lol @MattBelloni
English

@vineholdersuper @ant_twig @jessesingal Explain to me where you get your conviction that AI will *only* come for jobs you don’t respect and surely *never* come for your livelihood
English

@_AlexHirsch @ant_twig @jessesingal in animation, storyboards are clearly the backbone of an entire production so I get your concern there. storyboard artists are deeply involved in the story telling
a24 mostly makes live-action films where storyboards are often a planning/previs tool for specific sequences

@andrewrsorkin All it took to win you over is a waving flag and a voiceover? Its a commercial for a gambling site that lets you cash in on military slaughter. Weird thing to simp over

It is rare for an ad to stop me these days. This one stopped me cold. Whatever your view of prediction markets -- and this is not an endorsement — the team behind this ad created something genuinely remarkable. 👏👏👏
