This is a filmmaker who knows what he’s talking about.
“Tedious VFX work”, bet he’s talking about gruelling work like rotoscoping, at least that’s what first came to mind.
'Backrooms' director Kane Parsons isn't a fan of generative AI
"If I could snap my fingers and make generative AI disappear forever, I probably would"
"Creatively, I get no enjoyment from using those tools. It defeats the purpose entirely for me"
He thinks there may be uses in tedious VFX labor 'but right now it's difficult to discuss objectively because there's so much at stake and so many genuinely harmful consequences already happening"

I still don’t get how some people in spitter can call themselves allies while at the same time supporting one of the largest transphobes on this platform, who considers his daughter dead
@Blobifie Wow, that seems like quite the infrastructure change, all within the year!?
I was thinking this, then I thought about how Blue themselves would define vertical operations, and if there’s any looseness to it with their idea of the definition if yk what I mean
Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.
I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.
We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.
