I assume this would have already been on your radar, but just in case it wasn't and is something you're interested in...

Alas, not in the UK. I shall remain Mr Christmasless.

"...who previously lacked the skills"

This is such a gross, belittling way of looking at it since they'll still lack the skills and likely always will.

Anyone who uploads AI content will either succeed and continue or fail and stop. I doubt either will pivot to doing it manually.

While I'm glad people have an understanding of aspect ratio and cropping it's a shame that it's the (incorrect) takeaway from this rather than the reiteration that everything has VFX, even a bunch of men standing around in suits, and it's not a bad thing!

Pyro is so 80's. You hit play on a fancy modern PowerPoint presentation, don't you? 😉

My sister had Ronan Keating's If Tomorrow Never Comes as her first dance and the wedding DJ himself said "normally play this one at funerals". Just before her first dance at her own wedding!

Despite the fact that the whole song is basically "I *need* this person to know that I love them *so much*".

I've not seen the first one. Was Mario a stone cold cunt in that too? Why'd he break little Bowser's heart like that?

Do we definitively know that it's a ballroom for dinners, dances, etc. and not just a room with a big ball pit? Because if it's the latter then we should be condemning all previous presidents for NOT doing that.

I couldn't vote for Ed because every time I see him I fancy a bacon sandwich and I wouldn't be able to sustain that for five years.

The thing about software development is that the fun part is the top level thought process and chucking some stuff together that achieves the outcome you want. The worst part is cleaning up that mess and getting rid of tedious bugs.

So yeah, even here AI is taking away the exciting creative part.

Woah there! Are you accusing me, a 42 year old man who voluntarily watches DCOMs as self-imposed homework before listening to a podcast, who recognised a film director not just by looks but also voice, a *nerd*?! 😁

Any time I see Master System it unlocks the shame I felt being the only kid in the UK with a Master System II when everyone else had a Mega Drive.

Still, I bet none of those kids even played Alex Kidd in Miracle World, let alone sunk years of their childhood dying in the first level.

😭

The only redeeming factor is that she was screaming them with all the grace of that one guy everyone knows who wanders through town with a little radio and the locals go "oh, him?"
