@menefilth no disagreement there, we might be talking past eachother.
all I meant to express was that there is nothing reprehensible about perceiving insignificant details in interactions with a person you desire, pretty universal human experience (and not "repulsive")
so flüchtig der Moment auch war – für einen unwahrscheinlichen Augenblick verkörperte die Sowjetunion jenes, das uns immer flieht im Wind, den ewigen Traum der Menschheit

Jede Thalia-Filiale hat den bösen Tisch mit unschuldig klingenden Büchern wie "55 Dinge, die wir von Hunden lernen können", in denen dann Sachen stehen wie "Tipp 27: nicht jedes menschliche Leben ist inhärent gleichwertig"
There's an old saying in Schelling—I know it's in Hegel, probably in Schelling—that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as... as... tragedy... the second time as... as... it's funny if it happens again
Stellen Skarsgard on the the growing presence of AI in the movie industry:
"For thousands of years, people have been very much interested in people. Describing people is what theater does, what film does — and what we do best. In film — even better than in television — you can describe all the unspoken words, all the unspoken facets of a relationship that are almost impossible to explain but are still there. We will always be curious about other people. That curiosity will never leave us."
What form it takes, how it will be produced — maybe some people will be happy enough with what AI can produce, and some will not. But I think the main problem for the moving image industry today is the concentration of capital. And the concentration of capital is the problem for every industry, for humanity. AI is nothing without the men behind it. AI is owned by the tech barons standing right behind power."
