Swell the sound, ye kings and nobles,
Priest and people, rich and poor;
Babylon is fallen, to rise no more!
The Puritans in England and the New World instituted Baconian/Rosicrucian reforms to education, essentially inventing mass literacy. I think that's why you get such prevalent 'English wit' as this
I seriously think that Michael Hudson will be remembered far longer than Milton Friedman or any of these other hacks, whose historical legacy will be footnotes of western decline
Hate for CT is so forced - not unlike safe edgy jokes about the French - average CT resident enjoys poking fun at the state in the same outdated way the Simpson’s called Springfield shabby before the American Dream died. Far uglier scenes in Mass, Florida, etc.
You Can See Everything - Another hypnotic exploitation film from Oppenheim. You end up learning more about what kind of person Amanda Seyfried is than you do the impenetrable Elizabeth Holmes.
Laughing at the emotional cope in the comments, sorry folks this looks indistinguishable from Gaurdians of the Galaxy 9 and just parroting “slop” isn’t going to hold up for long!
Watch the new trailer for Gossip Goblin's #GodsDontGiveGifts, coming to theaters this December.
The problem is that most blockbusters are already “slop” or worse than slop, so there is only potential upside to this if it allows heterodox filmmakers to make their unfundable projects real.
We can imagine young guys getting scouted for talent in AI festivals
The art of Directing a film and “prompting” are very similar - the director is not the cinematographer, gaffer, editor, foley artist, actor, location scout etc. - he is the one “prompting” these forces.
If an AI collaboratively constructs a film set and blocks out actor movements in 3D by your direction, at what point does this stop being “slop”?
I can direct movies in my head; I see the characters and setting. An AI direction platform that creates concrete settings and remembers fine tune prompting for export - this is my dream.
It’s absolutely insane that our legal system anonymizes the accuser but not the defendants - de facto guilty until proven innocent.
Newly released Text Messages in the Cornell University Case
It seems the more that comes to light, the clearer it becomes why prosecutors may have declined to bring charges.
These text messages obtained by ABC News don’t show someone discussing a rape. They show someone being beaten down by campus gossip, embarrassment, and the fallout from what happened.
Then, on November 8, she wrote, “I think I’m done talking to you. I know you lied.”
That same day, she made her complaint.
