š§µ: I discovered this woman, who I call Loab, in April. The AI reproduced her more easily than most celebrities. Her presence is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches. CW: Take a seat. This is a true horror story, and veers sharply macabre.
ALT a portrait photo older white woman with long brown hair holding a misconfigured stuffed animal. she has very severe rosacea below her eyes, in the shape of triangles on her cheeks. she looks slightly 3d rendered. there is a lamp in the background.
ALT a variant of the woman from the first image on what appears to be an album cover with the word "Loab" on it. She appears to be holding flowers, leaves, or feathers of some kind, on a textured, green backdrop.

There is a culture in film that encourages the very macho attitude of āthatās just how we do thingsā which is inherently anti-art ā we should be striving to improve and reimagine how things are done at every level.

I miss in like 2017 when you could post something like "Why do they call it progressive income tax when you come in the wealth of out in alienate the labor" and get a job writing for a Netflix show. Now you have to kill your friend on a livestream to get any motion.

imagine developing a SOTA disentanglement-based speech-to-speech model for vocal identity transfer only for coping movie fans to decide it's just pitch adjustment

Adrien Brody did not use AI for his performance in The Brutalist. The post-production team used AI to pitch-correct a couple of lines (one scene in a 3 hour movie) where he spoke Hungarian. We donāt have to keep doing this in 2026.
