no i think the world ending in fire and the long-term social consequences of our civilization getting hit with the giant Stupid Ray are probably more dire than IP theft
I think the whole “ai is bad for the environment” and “ai is stupid and enabling our children” arguments have kinda made people forget the biggest reason to be anti-ai.
It’s plagiarism. It’s theft. That’s how it works. It works by stealing.

lol actually yeah. teachers do, weirdly enough, have less institutional power than the young boys. when the parents treat them like princes who can’t do any wrong and the school refuses to deliver consequences, the teacher has no power to do anything

Tarkovsky on science fiction and Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey:
"For some reason, in all the science fiction films I've seen, the filmmakers force the viewer to examine the details of the material structure of the future. More than that, sometimes, like Kubrick, they call their own films premonitions. It's unbelievable! Let alone that 2001: A Space Odyssey is phony on many points even for specialists. For a true work of art, the fake must be eliminated. I would like to shoot Solaris in a way that the viewer would be unaware of any exoticism. Of course, I'm referring to the exoticism of technology.
For example, if one shoots a scene of passengers boarding a trolley, which, let's say, we'd never seen before or known anything about, then we'd get something like Kubrick's moon-landing scene. On the other hand, if one were to shoot a moon landing like a common trolley stop in a modern film, then everything would be as it should. That means to create psychologically, not an exotic but a real, everyday environment that would be conveyed to the viewer through the perception of the film's characters. That's why a detailed 'examination' of the technological processes of the future transforms the emotional foundation of a film, as a work of art, into a lifeless schema with only pretensions to truth.
Design is design. Painting is painting. And a film is a film. One should 'separate the firmament from the waters' and not engage in making comic books."
-Interview with Naum Abramov in 1970.

also, nothing in the frame should be unimportant. if it is, then it shouldn’t be there
"But can't AI just be used to complete unimportant backgrounds or clean up animation?" No. Those are entry level positions that turn into long careers. Bg painters become art directors. Clean up artists become animation leads. Stop trying to cheat.
