It was good, old-fashioned, honest theft.

What an objectively off-putting final result, too. The shot of the woman getting trapped in the tram door is particularly tonally jarring. I guess they would justify it all by saying it got us talking about it, though. Like the horrendous AI coke ad last year.

Wow, thats a specimen. I'd like to say I'd have walked away from that conversatuon at Tony Abbott, but I think I would have been too fascinated to do so.

It can take the focus of the artist off their work, and intractable numbers can be strangely addictive to humans in general, especially if you can tie them to validation or self worth.

Yeah, i wonder if some of this is caused by too much information. Everyone likes to have an audience for their work, but there's a big mental difference between the olden days, and now being able to measure their number and reactions in real time per piece, and being able to compare thay with others

This is really impressive, I love the next level range of expressions you have set up here!
