"Very Competent Story" lol even these shitty guys admit it won't actually produce anything actually good

Have you seen the Russo bros’ shit?

I liked Winter Soldier, dang it

It takes a lot of people to make a movie

Markus and McFeely really did carry those two's careers, huh?

We don't stand for bad mouthing Community in this house.

Wait are you serious?

Russo fully believes these weird thoughts are deep, insightful, rad and powerful

These people are the biggest losers on the planet. “Make a machine that makes a dead woman want to date me.”

Is that not the enduring appeal of Greek Mythology?

I don’t think it can be reiterated enough times: NOBODY WANTS THIS

This reminds me of my thing about like, why do we care what's canon You can imagine a story going differently from what the author wrote. And both versions are... fiction So why do we care which one is on the printed page? And yet, we DO

Because while you're very welcome to have as many versions as you like, each version should ideally at least try to be consistent with itself.

It’s because we l want our stories to not only be ours. We like them not only because of their quality, but because we share them with others as a part of our culture. This is the biggest weakness of generative AI, they are as disposable as dreams. It’s why this sounds like pornography consumption.

That is a much nicer explanation than my angry nerd rant and it makes a lot of sense.

This was such a good article about canon. www.themarysue.com/star-wars-ex... Also: Henry Jenkins, Director of Media Studies at MIT: “Fan fiction is a way of the culture repairing the damage done in a system where contemporary myths are owned by corporations instead of by the folk.”

Star Wars Expanded Universe No Longer Canon | The Mary Suewww.themarysue.com So Disney has decided that they're going to nuke most of the previously established Star Wars canon. I think this is as good a reason as any to finally bury the destructive concept of canon in fiction...

"Head-canon" is a term I have come to love.

Tech Bros who resent having to pay for art and writing want it

There's enough star trek horny nerds out there that you'll be proved very very wrong. That's basically use case #1 for the holodeck. I still agree it's weird putting dead people's likeness in there.

Further, I don't know enough about self insert fanfic, but isn't that basically 90% women writing this?

The Venn diagram of "horny nerds" and "tech bros" is 2 circles. Tech bros are like frat boys who realized tech paid more but didn't require so much education. They think the Empire is cool, and are mad Star Trek is woke now.

have you seen this website, which is like %30 horny nerd

As correct as it ever was.

important graph right here

Yes - but not tech bro.

which is my main point

THIS IS WHAT AN IMAGINATION IS FOR

This as I have probably said before is why I 99% disbelieve that aphantasia is a real thing rather than people describing the same thing differently

There is definitely a market for awful things

No you don’t get it, we *have* to develop the Marilyn-Exploitation-Bot 3000 because if we don’t, our enemies will make one and use it against us

“We have unleashed great evil upon the world, and the only way to stop it is to pay us more.”

(cold as ICE, what you just said!)

Wow. That is a lot of words to say basically nothing. Just like it took him two 3-hours movies to tell a 2-hour story.

And very badly, at that.

These are the men who tell women they have to keep dating them or they will die alone.

Mr. President, we cannot allow an AI-Marilyn gap!

Some people have never watched the “Don’t Date Robots” public information film with the Monroe-bot and it shows

AI as protection racket

nothing is inevitable.

(just to head off any potentially overly literal interpretations—i get it, i’m autistic—yes, there *are* some inevitable things, like the heat death of the universe. but if someone is telling you something’s inevitable, first make sure it’s not something they’re trying to manufacture consent for.)

That doesn't sound appealing at all. Why would I want a movie featuring me that I didn't get to participate in? Rich people are such losers.

Oh damn a hit skeet. Didn't think I'd see that happen.

Mimics my voice? They think I want to listen to my own voice, ever?

Don’t worry it will be porn and there will be no dialogue

I have to use the phone for work and sometimes I get an echo so I can hear myself. Five minutes of that is too long. I can't imagine hearing it for over an hour.

It's so jarring to hear myself. I've been told my voice had deepened, and my throat physically feels different when I speak. But I still hear the 12 yr old. X.x

the classic thing that most people love, having to hear and see themselves from the outside

I accidentally flipped a selfie to where I was facing myself instead of mirrored, and I damn near gave myself nightmares. How the hell can people stand to look at me?

The people trying to ram AI down our throats keep finding new ways to utterly miss the point of the creative arts, it's truly horrifying.
