Every piece of AI art is like waking up on Brexit morning and realising you share a country with some really mean, simplistic, malleable people, and you’re going to have to negotiate that reality from now on. That it’s not worth trying to do better. Cos more people don’t care than love.
I hope not.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Watched 160 movies this year (never enough) and read 73 books, largely thanks to an influx of Shakespeare in my diet in the last few months. Finished Dickens this year and tackling Hemingway (and finishing Shakespeare) in 2026.
Watched 154 movies (still not enough) this year, and 62 books. Dostoevsky was read, and now onto Dickens.
I watched 151 movies and read 48 books in 2023 (including all of Faulkner). Going to exceed that in 2024 (including all of Doestevsky).

It’s hard to not see the Netflix/WB news as a sort of doomsday scenario. The constant mergers and large scale absorptions of brands might be good for business, in theory, but they are bad for art; they are bad for creators; they are bad for preservation. Which makes it bad for us.

NBC’s insistence on showing everything but the parade in its parade telecast is really bumming my kids out.

It is, actually.
Is AI inherently bad? Of course not.
The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose?
Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming?
I doubt it.

Streaming has made it so frustrating to know when movies are released. Frankenstein is coming to streaming soon. But it’s in theatres now! But not your theatres. Or most theatres. Just some theatres…somewhere. Go see it! If you can. But you probably can’t. #Frankenstein
