“Selfish, selfless, an idealist, a scoundrel, a very big man, a very little one. It depends on who’s talking about him.” Film|Comm. Studies @3brothersfilm

@lauren_wilford "If you see AI as a system from nowhere, you can make the claim that the model “went rogue,” and that it “broke containment,” both of which place agency and decision-making onto the model itself rather than the people who set the stage for that behavior."
@lauren_wilford "When we say “AI models went rogue,” we skip the entire story: the part where OpenAI manually removed the model's cybersecurity blocks. We skip that OpenAI chose to test it on a machine with a live network connection.
"Not sharp enough to really be a critique of modern life, but too high-concept and satirical to take too seriously, Defending Your Life left me wanting more."

Having rewatched the whole series in the run up to Dead Reckoning Part One, @andersjb asks: "What does each film bring to the table, and where does my perception of the series sit at this juncture in cinema history?"

Disney using AI to create title sequences is just the first step. You can't wave it away and say, "It's just the credits." They will take every inch given them, and 10 more not given them. If we don't nip it in the bud now, it will destroy mainstream cinema.
I think people are doing the film a disservice by over-praising it, but more than 24 hours later I find myself still thinking about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, especially the quieter character moments. The perfect film to watch for Father's Day with my two boys.
