Listen. The average person just doesn’t need training to know that it’s wrong to kill people.
This is not some big complex problem that requires expertise to get right. If ICE is killing people, it’s from a lack of morality, not a lack of knowledge.

As others have said:
Darren Aranofsky spent most of his career lifting from Satoishi Kon, but now that Kon is dead, he’s decided to steal from even more artists all at the same time by using this gen ai grifter bs for his shitty movies

like yeah that darren aranofsky AI thing looks like garbage but i am especially bothered by the "its genAI but with SAG actors" because it shows how there is a complete lack of solidarity between actors and visual effect and animation workers

90% of my animation friends are unemployed. I'm on hiatus. The value of animation is proven every year. Greenlight new shows! Don't overdevelop. Don't chase trends. You can't chase trends w/ animation! It takes too long! Tell good stories. Take risks."Demon Hunters" was a risk & look how it paid off
Animation ruled streaming in 2025. Again. Nielsen data shows 'Bluey' repeated as the most-watched title across all genres, while 'KPop Demon Hunters' was the most-watched movie, and Seth MacFarlane won the inaugural Streaming Icon of the Year award.

I’ve been working through age of revelation this event is more then 50 books and it feels rushed in terms of art and writing. Imagine paying for each book this event isn’t worth a $200 price tag even over 3 months. No event is worth that much.

Gita Jackson didn’t do anything wrong it’s a lot of misplaced anger directed at the easiest target. If a company laid people off and then hires a bunch of scabs to work for next to nothing you should have every right to shit talk those conditions.

This is the same thing people used to say about bill gates and Elon musk. You can’t be as rich as Hank green and be a good person. At the end of the day he is always trying to take more than he gives.
I think Hank Green is wrong on LLMs
But I also think Hank Green is a guy who has demonstrated for WELL OVER A DECADE who he is, that he is an earnest and caring science communicator.
If he has a bad opinion, and I think he does, then I think people should challenge it in the same manner.

What did Pete do to make people like him again? shirked the blame for a problem he was passing the buck onto the Trump admin and that’s it. The flight control staffing was an issue before trumps lay offs, there were literal chemical spills under his watch, and he kept railway workers from striking

I also just don’t understand people that are pro environment and also pro nuclear energy. I’m not an expert but isn’t the waste going to outlive generations? It’ll probably be dumped in or near poor communities and if there are plant accidents we lose lives and create a big area no one should go

I don’t want to just turn into a Hank green criticism account but him having a reputation that he’s just too good of a person for criticism is wild. The guys trying to get people to support ai and Pete Buttigieg rn. The world would be a better place if his microphone was taken away.

Everyone defending Hank green is saying oh he does so much good but does he? He pays a lot of people to do good but is that him doing good? Not really
