Steven Soderbergh says his upcoming documentary about John Lennon and Yoko Ono will include roughly “10 minutes” worth of generative AI. “AI has been helpful in creating thematically surreal images that occupy a dream space rather than a literal space. And that’s been really fun because you need a Ph.D. in literature to tell it what to do. But like every other piece of technology, it desperately requires very close human supervision.” (Source: filmmaker.substack.com/p/ste…)

You didn't make anything. You stole imagery from hundreds of thousands of actual filmmakers. The proper verb for you to use is "prompted" or "stole." When they ask if "you made this," the proper response is, "No. I prompted it. I then posted the result, which is wholly derived from work stolen from real filmmakers."

This is the worst film ever made. There is no other way to put it. Simply, the worst film ever made.

My parents didn’t let us listen to Metal. Was devil worshipping music. Hard to see how they were wrong. Pantera used pentagrams. Even if “ironic,” or “art,” it’s demonic symbolism. Later in life I tried. Couldn’t stomach it. Made me physically ill. It’s the sound of demons.

A new ‘Judge Dredd’ movie is in the works • Taika Waititi is directing • Drew Pearce is writing the script • It’s currently being shopped around to studios (via @THR)

It really isn’t. The whole film (like Jordan Peele’s entire ouevre) is just a transparent attempt to make people think white people are weird and f*cked up by their very nature. It’s just part of a very familiar and very tiresome blood libel against white people.

⭐️ Have we passed the uncanny valley?! I can’t believe these people aren’t real. Normally this commercial would have cost $100k to make but I did it with Veo3 for… for $5k, thats right my time is valuable. If you want a commercial like this, it costs $5k or more. Don’t sell your talent and experience short people! 🧵 👇

What else should I add to this list?
