Hatred of AI now reaching the level of cultural consensus that becomes attractive to advertisers

So uh.. Former Paramount CEO is further killing an already dead franchise at his studio with generative Ai, yippeeeeeeeeee.. I don't love them, but the Chipmunks deserve better than this

I’m embarrassed to say that I have a little bit of a soft spot for Alvin and the Chipmunks. The 2007 movie is my biggest childhood guilty pleasure, so to see them come back as AI slop is disappointing. No franchise, no matter how hated by the public, deserves the fate of being reduced to AI slop.

Alvin And The Chipmunks as a franchise is dead to me now. Cause of death: Generative AI.

Obligatory

Exclusive: Alvin, Simon and Theodore are making a comeback, with the world’s smallest boy band being revived for a new generation.

Former Nickelodeon and Paramount CEO Brian Robbins has acquired a 25% stake in Bagdasarian Productions, the company behind ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks.’ He plans to revive the franchise through short-form social media content as a launchpad for a new movie expected in late 2028.

They're vicious and delicious! The man-eating monstrosities known as Spidersaurs made their console/PC debut four years today, bringing with them explosive run-'n'-gun co-op action and an awesome Saturday-morning-cartoon-inspired theme song!

Lemme tell you a fun fact: the "4K" is sourced from a filmout of the 2001 HD restoration. That's horrible on its own (you get a digital resolution brickwall), but then they DNRed it. youtube.com/watch?v=i56B... This was scanned on a mediocre scanner yet looks far better.

If you're not in the US and you want stuff from them it's tedious even with the UK version of the CR shop it's impossible to find everything because they don't ship alot of Aniplex titles, so you'd go to RIghtstuff, but with them gutted you literally have to go through Amazon and PRAY that they ship

>>Be Sony >>Make licensing partnerships that expire and then remove a bunch of movies from people's hard drives >>Promise to stop printing discs for your disc-based video game system >>Force a paid membership to access physical anime products >>You will never own anything ever again

Fuck Crunchyroll. Locking their store behind a paywall. No wonder anime is one of the most pirated forms of media! Cuz all the major platforms are SHIT!

New York:

A hidden terribleness about the AI translations of older games that keep popping up lately - in this case Tricolor Crise for the Dreamcast - is the way they knock the wind out of the sails of the people who are trying to actually do it properly. LLM version didn't even use the right character names.

Christopher Nolan has praised Obsession and Backrooms for moving cinema forward “Those films are so mysterious and ruminative … and yet young people can’t get enough of them”

Also, some people are pointing that "Amnesty quit the article because fear", forgetting this www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article/inside-europes-billioneuro-antigender-movement

Being rejected from becoming an artist wasn't Hitler's villain story, it was the excuse he was given to fully go nuts

over the course of my life i've heard many many people say "it's too bad hitler didn't find success as an artist, maybe this could have all been avoided" and rowling really gives the lie to that

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

ICE has fatally shot 11 people since Donald Trump's second term began. These are not isolated incidents. They are the predictable result of a cruel, violent system. Abolish ICE.

like i GET that a lot of the cast was sidelined for the finale but that's because its focus was on unpacking whatever the fuck was up with jax which was. basically the only real mystery the show had.

is it playing favorites or is it "the author's self-insert is treated as a main character and i don't like that"

Andreas Deja animated some great characters at Disney Animation. Such a talent.

He made a little cameo in Goldblum's Sydney concert not long ago 🥲 I didn't get to see him, since we saw the Brisbane show instead. To think that was only a month or so ago. A huge loss for Australia and New Zealand. May his legacy live on.

As an Australian, I'm not used to celebrities being so close to home. My partner and I attended a nearby convention in matching Grant/Sattler costumes without even knowing Sam was there that day. We never saw him. But maybe for the better - I didn't want him to think we were going to be annoying.

Rest in peace, Sam Neill ❤️ Doctor Alan Grant was my childhood hero.

Why should I respect a corporation who claims to believe that piracy is a crime when they’re gonna steal my games WITHOUT MY CONSENT at the end of the day?

"TOY STORY" will be at $1B by the end of the year. The box-office story that's shaking out is the same one predicted for awhile: Millennials are the blockbuster audience, Boomers and Xers are wait-for-streaming, Zoomers are falling into familiar teenage patterns (horror and "new" IP)

We have canceled our sponsored stream with SNK. We have heard the concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government.

the way things are going i'm looking forward to being the only one who knows how to read in 3 years

We're not still doing this. the US President signed a bill explicitly focused on Trans Women. V-coding in prisons exists. We are NOT "all faggots in the eyes of the state".

Something I’ve noticed is that it’s extremely easy to tell when erotica is written by AI because narratively the computer doesn’t know how to climax. It doesn’t know what’s actually horny but what combo of words are horny, leading to a story that’s just edging in circles with no build up or payoff

The Times' op-ed section was really eager to work with me when I got laid off at Vox, and I wrote a few pieces for them. I am proud of those pieces, and the editors I worked with were fantastic. And also any time I pitched a piece on queer or trans life, it got turned down or ignored. Ah well!
