As a prelude to the Comic Book Festival next week, our "Matinée" screening on Saturday at 11.30am showcases the Franco-Irish animated adventure film "Wolfwalkers" (2020) directed by Tomm Moore ("The Secret of Kells", "Song of the Sea"). Free booking: ow.ly/8LX550YYl21

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Ernest & Celestine is an incredible film. And it looks like a watercolor sketch in motion. Its style was a risk, and it took time and care to get it right. We explore how it happened: ─➤animationobsessive.substack.…

OK, let me solve American "economic anxiety" very quickly. I'm gonna sort it out for you in less than ten tweets and then you won't have that excuse anymore. You ready? Here goes. The cause is capitalism and greed. That's it. Nothing else. Just that.

Get yourself drawing every day. Start with half an hour, try to increase your drawing time bit by bit.

Thank you Annecy

There is no generative AI in Beyond the Spider-Verse and there never will be. One of the main goals of the films is to create new visual styles that have never been seen in a studio CG film, not steal the generic plagiarized average of other artists’ work.
