@sabrinaonfilm Crazy work to compare this guy to Scorsese after his first film.

@Rec_A_Dork @Pigeonsdestroy What do you think the bubble bursting actually means? Do you remember the dotcom crash? Did the internet disappear or did the crazy investment and speculation just end? Clue: we are using the internet now, after the bubble burst.

@Pigeonsdestroy @Rec_A_Dork I hope people are screengrabbing these tweets so that anyone over 35 and has seen this all before can have a good laugh in a year or 2.

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@VALC_6 It's always been that way buddy...

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@idollkgs How does AI erase human intelligence again? Please explain and not goalpost shift or attack me.

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@Rec_A_Dork @Pigeonsdestroy Time will tell. My money is on Scorsese.

Because I want a future where a talented 20-year Pixar veteran doesn't pitch my boutique studio an amazing project he has been trying to sell for 15 years, that has gone nowhere because the execs at studios trust him enough to create classics for them (that he has no ownership of) but not to create things they don't own.

I want a future where I don't have to say no because my studio can't afford 150 Million for an animated film, and so his film that is AMAZING just dies on the vine.

I want a future where a creator hears no and then does it himself with his own team, and they own and profit from it.

I want a future where creators with new ideas, and from different backgrounds and perspectives, that have spent their entire life training their skills only to be ignored because either their idea or even they don't fit the studio mandate.

As an artist and professional that has spent my life fighting for stuff like this, through transitions like traditional to digital, linear to streaming to YouTube and social, I have seen this before. I have seen the slop claims before (which are often true when professionals arent creating it), Ive seen the job loss fears before, and I have even seen the scared artisan be manipulated into fighting against their own interests. In each of those cases the industry became bigger, more democratized, and the giant studios had new competitors who would never have had a chance before. And audiences find new passions, new content, and new creators to fall in love with.

Thats why I am not anti-progress. It wouldn't matter even if I was, as also in my experience, time has a strange way of moving in one direction no matter who tries to stop it.

@KINGGDC209 @comicaccuracy ...yep, it definitely doesn't stink.

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@comicaccuracy @KINGGDC209 The irony of a villager with a pitchfork believing his own opinion so much that they refuse to question their own assumptions - saying that a legendary director is "buying his own shit" (after the commenter has been buying his shit for decades).

Classic irony.

I don't know why I do this to myself, but here we go:

Explain the theft. When have artists been paid for their work being referenced to train anything. Never to my knowledge. The real points of the process where actual theft could happen are still considered theft and still applicable to the same protections that we've had for years (piracy of content used to train models, users using tools to violate protected works.)

Can you explain the theft? All I ever get is a goalpost shift to the environment or job loss or pure Ad hominem when it's brought up.

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@DominicHailsto1 I always love the AI witchhunt posts where people call everything AI, not knowing that designers and compositers arent perfect. It's almost better than the actual movies.

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@KINGGDC209 @comicaccuracy The irony.

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

So "real artists" can use AI. What if you actually have no good case against AI, and are really mad at exploitative conglomerates who run Hollywood and look for every excuse to reduce labor force and increase margin.

What if instead of actually fighting them, you fight against artists and small teams being able to afford to see their visions come to life. Artists with a history of protecting the little guy like Jorge Gutierrez?

Hollywood has been exploiting it's labor force and gatekeeping content creation, as well as maintaining a stranglehold on content production and distribution for over a century. With Hollywood just now starting to integrate AI into their production processes, how do you explaon the monumental job losses, unfair practices, lack of funding for original content, etc up til now?

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@trygraptor Or you have a bad take. Time will tell I guess.

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@TwinkleTeeToes @lifewithart_ AI is slop, right? You should be able to tell instantly.

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@homemadehooplah @FullBastion17 Explain the false equivalency please. Its a direct comparison.

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@cat_lover99 @reformedmuse @DawsonEJoyce Or he can use ai. Or he could choose not to and do it himself.

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@BruxaMalditaaaa @Pigeonsdestroy @anishmoonka Then nothing to worry about. If there is no need, then surely noone would use it, right?

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@DougTenNapel So simply put, and so true!

[Carl Reed @2nlabs]

@JimRotVideo @TheGreatErenan Watch out guys, some guy from twitter said it's true so it has to be!
