Writer in the Rockford, Illinois area. Don't really like politics, sometimes talk about them anyway. Fully vaccinated, and keep the boosters coming. The Disney version of Merlin is everything I hope to one day become. I post whatever weird bullshit pops into my head. Homo non est nihil nisi homem.
And, unfortunately, in light of the next few movies in the pipeline, it seems that the 'After the Plague' age has now ended. We're now in the 'Well, guess we'll make some sequels, lol' era.
Hot take: the more sophisticated AI-generated content gets, the better humans will get at recognizing it, and the more sophisticated and interesting genuine human creations will become.
An update: upon reflection, I've decided that the third 'We lived, bitch' age ended with Frozen II. From Raya and the Last Dragon onward, we have been in the 'After the Plague' era.
I'd like to thank the people who made Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey for giving me something I can spend the rest of my life bringing up every time hipsters talk about how great it is when something goes into the public domain.
So, forget all that 'Golden Age/Silver Age/Bronze Age' crap. The history of Disney movies can be divided into the following eras:
-The fuck we CAN'T make a full-length animated movie.
-Don't you know there's a war on?
-We lived, bitch.
-So, Disneyland's a thing, now.
-O Captain, My Captain...
-Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap.
-We lived, bitch.
-The Gilded Age.
-So... heehe... the CGI ones are just as good...RIGHT!?!?!?
And, lastly, the current era:
-We lived, bitch.
Adi RobertsonGenerative AI (yes imagine scare quotes around “AI” I’m not going to fight it here) should be a dream-logic distillation of our collective consciousness but is headed toward just being another artists v techbros culture war battlegrounds and it’s so deeply boring
twitter created totally new modes of writing and art, and the fact that they’re getting slowly but unceremoniously crushed by someone who has no appreciation for them is painful
It’s very funny to me that the dominant Twentieth Century conception of AI was a slightly awkward nerd with an inhuman mastery of facts and logic, when what we actually got is smooth-talking bullshit artists who can’t do eighth-grade math.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.I'm sharing this as an actual solution to empower civilians.
Please check out TurnSignl, an app founded by Black civil rights lawyers. It lets you video call a lawyer asap through voice activation or single touch when police pull you over. The lawyer manages & records the entire convo w/police & works to get you home safe.
It's like $7/mo and free for low income people. It's in a few dozen states & will be nationwide shortly. I have it myself.
