For those who say "AI saves time". Time for what? If it's replacing time spent working in the arts then it's killing the slow intimate process artists love to be immersed within. Time to do what? Time to confront existence? Or to distract yourself with scrolling through slop?
Seriously WHY though. What are you doing with your time if you're using AI to write your texts, play your games, and summarize everything for you? I don't understand the purpose.

Real artists are losing their jobs, missing out on work, struggling to make a living or support their families, etc. because of a supposed "new way of working." Passion is being replaced by prompts, and the ignorance shows. The apology needs to be as loud as the disrespect.

This movie is fantastic. Every scene. Every line. Perfection. No notes.
Thought this movie was a bit exaggerated when it first came out. Re-watching it after 2024? It's not far fetched at all.

Here's the thing with AI… Artists are having their work STOLEN by multi BILLION DOLLAR AI companies to train their AI models and those companies are profiting off unpaid and stolen work. That is theft and it is illegal. If these multi BILLION DOLLAR AI companies want to contact the writers, artist, filmmakers, costume designers, graphic designs, musicians, animators, etc and offer to PAY THEM for their work to be used in their training models… then fine, that is the artist's choice. It's essentially the artist selling their work at a price the artist sets. AI companies can afford to pay artists, artist cannot afford to have their work stolen. If the AI companies don't pay for work with consent of the artist… IT'S THEFT and should be punishable under copyright right law. TLDR: fuck you, pay me.

The obsession with apocalyptic stakes in action films is exhausting. Not every story needs the fate of the world. Smaller conflicts can feel more immediate, more personal, and often more thrilling.

What recent trends in films do you dislike?

This take is unpopular because it’s real immature, btw. I’ve literally watched white classmates develop real empathy for Black people because of To Kill a Mockingbird. Fiction can expand how folks understand motivation, fear, contradiction. The shit essays and self help books barely touch. Autobiographies always have a spin but good Fiction often doesn't tell you what to think. It drops you into situations where every choice costs something, and you have to sit with ambiguity and imperfect decisions, which builds REASONING. I've learned about West African traditions, Constantinople's politics, and political struggles of the Ottoman Empire from fiction. Malcolm Gladwell is cool, but he didn't improve my vocabulary like Ursula K. Le Guin. Fiction isn’t just entertainment. It’s mental rehearsal for being human. Escaping into a book can be as good for your brain and self regulation as meditation. And yeah, let me add one more chaotic perception I've had: Many “non-fiction only” men I've met are uncreative as hell and tend to treat women like achievements.

I find it hard to believe we're debating whether ebooks count as real books at a moment when literacy has fallen off a cliff. I don’t care how you read, whether print books, ebooks or audiobooks. Read widely. Read daily. Read for any reason or none at all. Just read.
Replying to @pearlreads_
ebooks don't count as actual books, sorry.
