“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately

You aren't resisting fascism by using their tools

Be better than that

Got my copy of this amazing book of #frazetta’s horror paintings published by American Hero Collectibles over the weekend and it is fantastic! I got the slipcase, but there’s a hc and pb also. The giant trim size makes each page an art print worth framing and they’re even perforated for detachment.

hey a small request:

don't use fucking LLMs or generative "A.i." for anything. they destroy your brain. they're wide open to manipulation by right wing billionaires. they're full of lies. they're based on theft.

just say no.

Dead to me

Jeremy Smith @mrbeaks.bsky.social · May 21

I'm heartbroken by Darren Aronofsky's decision to embrace AI (ditto Natasha Lyonne's recent announcement). The artistic bankruptcy speaks for itself, but Devin brings the receipts (via a previous interview) as to how this is a profound betrayal of his loud-and-proud environmentalism.
