this discourse is one of the biggest mass psychosis events i think i’ve witnessed outside of politics in a long time i genuinely cannot believe how mad people are about his correct comments
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."

You can put anyone who immediately processed what’s happened in LA through the lens of “optics” and potential electoral impact on a permanent “pay no mind” list. What would you do if you were black bagged and saw your kids taken into some unmarked SUV?
theyre criminalizing basic mutual aid for unarmed civilian protestors to shield themselves from having their eyes shot out of their heads when the militarized police use 40mm projectiles, explosive ordinances, & chemical weapons while theyre exercising their 1st amendment rights
