I read the piece again and became even more disappointed.
2026: "Docter said Pixar found some parents didn’t want entertainment to force them to have a conversation they weren’t ready for with their children. “We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy,” he said."

A female OpenAI executive who raised concerns about the upcoming ‘Adult Mode’ - which lets you sex ChatGPT girlfriends - has been fired for ‘sexual discrimination against men’
I've had the growing impression, in recent years, that it has become thoroughly uncool to do your best. Exceeding expectations is embarrassing, merely meeting them, even worthy of ridicule. I see it all the time. You're caught rehearsing, or journaling in public? how performative. It kept you up at night, did it? you poured sweat into it? such a try-hard.
But I don’t think this is new. It’s that ol' familiar cynicism, one we’ve cycled through before. It usually precedes a moment when people grow tired of poorly made things, and what is done carefully and thoughtfully can once again be appreciated without shame. I'm hopeful that we're about to emerge into a renaissance, and convinced that my friends who are doing their honest best are just avant-garde.
If despite it all, you keep going and try your best.
I'm here for it and thank you.
