Social media really is a cancer. If you can’t even say a word like “die” because it will potentially upset advertisers, then I guess I’d rather have the internet…die. (That’s right, Meta, I dared to say that forbidden word. You better never train your AI on federated content! )
Milhouse is not a meme
Its only a matter of time before tech will be able to generate controlled/scripted moving images of full synthetic humans. No actors needed. Will it be shit and devoid of any emotion? Absolutely. Will the mass devour it like crazy because it is heavily marketed and promoted on social media and other channels as the next new big thing? Absolutely. They will love the 200th Marvel CU generated crapfest and with not a single frame recorded on physical media. Because they NEED to see deadpool giving a HJ to magneto while making an edgy remark about godzilla’s sausage apparatus. And will it generate millions of revenue for the studio while also saving millions in actor fees, fx and other trades? You got it. The director is now a member of the board of directors.
Huh. Aspartame. I never thought of AI as aspartame but that is a really good comparison. They’re not the real deal, you can taste the difference although most people wouldn’t care, it’s cheaper, and it is detrimental to the consumer (the effect of AI being the death of real creativity and wonder about what the human mind can come up with).
Dont blame developers. It’s never developers that make decisions. It’s the management, the shareholders, the project manager, the product owner, the whatever-mba-dipshit on top. But never the developers. They just execute and comply and if they refuse, they’re let go. A developer is a fleshy code printer. A resource. They don’t have real power. They’re a factory worker. Remember that. Don’t blame the worker, blame the boss.

I know Black Lotus is one of the most (the most) valuable MTG card, but why is that so?
It’s a nice card, but not all that extremely powerful or special, is it? Was it just super rare? It’s from one of the first series, I believe?
