@PhysCores It's called character development, even if negative.

Putting these two videos together, it's like Eric Kripke doesn't even watch his own fucking product.. #TheBoys

@JordanSantacana Agreed

Smiling as I imagine all the young kids who will see this and get inspired. Demystifying the filmmaking process is extremely important, and homeboy is one of the best at it.

@robertoblake Didn't you just say you're enjoying Mario being anti-ai? x.com/robertoblake/s…

Anti AI people are going to cave the minute 3 of their favorite franchises or products use AI… Or when their friend group outnumbers them or their significant other does something with Gen AI and ask them to support… It’s only a matter of time. You know why I know what? I’ve watched nearly all performative nonsense like this over the decades. Photoshop was the big one… And computer animation… Digital cameras vs Film was an all out war that some of you are too young for, you’ve known nothing but digital. 25-30 years ago digital photos were a blasphemy and you were destroying art. Alot of you are also too young to remember the “video games waste electricity argument”. Yes environmentalist came for video games… And yes they came for PC Gamers and did entire pieces showcasing landfills full of computer parts and it got mainstream media attention. Netflix was directly attacked during the days it sent DVD… Streaming was attacked as well in defense of keeping block buster. Online shopping was demonized for taking jobs. Uber was demonized for taking jobs from cab drivers. Almost every innovation has been demonized at mass scale… The public forgets in a few years and the people with pitch forks pretend get were never on the wrong side…

@MarioJoos I for one have been loving Mario's current "Scorched Earth" arc.

I'm going to say what most of us already know. People like these are the reason why the "inauthentic content" problem seems bigger than it actually is, and why most of it is bullshit. Let's take a look at this post. Context: I'm only responding to this because this "narrative" is getting out of hand, and there's maybe 1 out of 1,000 channels like this that genuinely didn't deserve to get demonetized. Let's get into it. The channel is an IShowSpeed clipping channel, but the public message? Claim #1: Every single video starts with MY idea, story build-up by ME, clips cut & arranged by ME. You're still using another person's content in order to achieve these. You didn't pay for his flights, you didn't pay for his production staff. I mean, at least show us your license to use his content. Just because you're editing the clips, whether you use AI or not, doesn't mean that you suddenly possess the rights to this footage. On top of that, just putting the "Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976" paragraph in your description, which all of these channels seem to do, doesn't mean that you're actually creating content which falls under fair use. Claim #2: I didn't start LightMoviesX for the money. I started it because it's my passion. What passion are we talking about here? A passion to share Speed's content? If that was the sole reason why you're doing this, you wouldn't be complaining about monetization. You're literally complaining about being demonetized, which is literally your ability to generate money through other people's content. Claim #3: I'm not asking for special treatment. I'm just asking for ONE real human to actually look at my channel and my Appeal Video. You are asking for special treatment, just like hundreds of others trying to guilt trip YouTube into giving you a pass. You're a problem because it's people like you that take up YouTube's time, which needs to go towards creators who actually deserve to get a proper appeal process. Do better.

@taherdhanera Wut.

oh no, you used the camera to shoot the film. oh no, you used editing software to cut the film. oh no, you used CGI. oh no, you used VFX. oh no, you used dubbing. oh no, you created fake sets. oh no, you used green screens. oh no, you used stunt doubles. oh no, you used makeup and prosthetics. oh no, you color graded the footage. oh no, you used motion capture. oh no, you recorded Foley sounds. oh no, you used background scores. oh no, you used autotune on vocals. oh no, you used wire rigs for action scenes. oh no, you used drones for aerial shots. oh no, you used miniatures instead of real cities. oh no, you used matte paintings. oh no, you used body doubles. oh no, you used teleprompters. oh no, you used render farms. oh no, you used sound mixing. oh no, you used ADR to replace dialogue. oh no, you used stock footage. oh no, you used smoke machines. oh no, you used fake blood. oh no, you used lenses to manipulate perspective. oh no, you used filters to change the mood. oh no, you used playback monitors. oh no, you used digital de-aging. oh no, you used face replacement. oh no, you used animation pipelines. oh no, you used Unreal Engine virtual production. oh no, you used render engines. oh no, you used storyboards. oh no, you used previs animatics. oh no, you used sync sound technology. oh no, you used stabilization rigs. oh no, you used cranes and dollies. oh no, you used subtitles for global audiences. oh no, you compressed the movie for streaming. oh no, you used digital projection instead of film reels. oh no, you used software to simulate explosions. oh no, you used compositing to combine shots. oh no, you used LUTs to create cinematic looks. oh no, you used virtual cameras inside 3D scenes. Traditional cinema mocking AI filmmaking while forgetting it was built on every fake technology before it.

@maximusgrave It was a vibe, and looked nice but nothing was actually said.

I'm hiring an editor and as a demo, I gave him the topic of Retardmaxxing Should I hire him?

@Ramiroytoy @MarioJoos That's implying viewers overall prefer AI made content over human made content?

@MarioJoos @HHillierSmith Would you still have the same take if viewers preferred AI assisted content over 100% human content? If yes, it seems like you’re asking YouTube to put creators’ needs over viewers’ needs which doesn’t make sense. Shouldn’t viewers decide what they want to watch based on merit?

I need your attention, just once. For the sake of protecting human creators.

@EvanEdinger I've wanted someone to recreate my favourite top gear challenge for years and I'm so glad it's finally happened!

Forgot to mention, new YouTube video on HillierSmith Go Watch.

@erichustls But the content will be garbage though.

Faceless Instagram pages will be the biggest side hustle in 2026: • Can be made with AI in 1 day • Only requires 3-5 hours a week • Can rinse & repeat as many times If you want to make $10k/month in passive income… Follow these 7 simple steps:

@PopCrave Why is everyone mad? Dude's likely been burned by so many people thinking he's cheap and wasted his time, so is putting firm healthy communicative boundaries to ensure he can trust the potential client? Good on him for standing his ground, that shouldn't be shamed.

Glambot director Cole Walliser is under fire for his responses to a possible customer inquiring about the camera for a wedding. Walliser reportedly doubted the woman’s ability to pay for his services.

@MomentProCamera I want it.

Here's how to get rid of Apple's processing in your iPhone photos 👀

Everyone intentionally mis-understood this movie, it's meta commentary about how the movie itself hates being made is what made it honestly wonderful.

The best discovery isn't the algorithm, it's curated people sharing what they love to you.

What's the best YouTube editing you've seen this year? Bonus points for sharing TikTok/Reels too.

New Video 'The One Edit Your Story Is Missing' Go Watch

"They are craving meaningful content" Say it louder for the kids in the back.

"The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what "works," but art opens up what is possible."

I'm still skeptical about Al. BUT the enhancement tools (Firefly's Gen Extend esp) has rescued my edit more than once. Adobe also announced at MAX that @adobefirefly has UNLIMITED CREDITS on AI image and video generations until Dec 1 Might be worth a try... adobe.ly/fireflynewoffer #AdobeMAX #AdobePartner
