Short satire/horror combining live-action with a whole host of Al tools
took about two months (lots of visual gags and sound design) and was a hell of a learning experience!
The ending is a lil raunchy but…..tasteful?
I think?
You tell me?
@AVARY This is so real… have seen great projects die simply because lawyers refused to talk to each other. The system does all it can to crush those dreams!
@GianmarcoSoresi@CleotisBonde I think if he had the ABILITY to laugh at himself, things would probably be slightly better. just any indication of humanity/emotional intelligence/detachment from ego. Any of those things existing in him=slightly better now, in some way
I say this with so much affection for the show…
doing an earnest “is Mythos overhyped or actually dangerous?” segment, landing on the latter (hard)
then rolling straight into an Anthropic ad read…
is either the most 2026 oversight of all time or the most honest thing in media.
@FussyPastor@sevenout@higgsfield@freepik@runwayml I’ve been able to find ways around it via prompt modification for the most part, and we’re making some very weird, gross stuff. I guess it depends on content, but I haven’t had as much trouble with censorship on runway in comparison with other platforms like Higgs or midjourney
@maxsaada vous cherchez votre prochain responsable du développement ?
Voilà comment on redéfinit le box-office.
Voilà comment on sauve le cinéma.
Chiche.
HBO sending push notifications saying “don’t be the last to see the rooster!!” Like what the fuck is the rooster and who is watching it and what a sad and desperate attempt to hijack my amygdala.
Traditional media is fast becoming a pale imitation of its asshole younger brother, social media.
In 1971, psychologist Edward Deci paid college students to solve a puzzle, and it made them stop wanting to solve it.
When the payments stopped, the paid group stopped trying. The unpaid group kept playing.
Two years later, another study found something similar in preschoolers: kids who already liked drawing were promised a reward, and later drew less once it was gone.
We’ve known for a while that rewards don’t just encourage behavior, they can start to replace what drives it.
Which makes these “gamify your life” ideas a little harder to take at face value.
I’ve been treated for ADHD since I was a kid. My dopamine-starved brain would LOVE something like this.
But it also trains you to rely more on the same reward circuitry every platform already exploits…
the part of you that needs constant stimulation to stay engaged.
Useful in the short term, absolutely.
Also a little unsettling to keep building around the most easily manipulated part of your own mind.
