Series Director of Castlevania and Castlevania: Nocturne on Netflix!

What the fuck is it good for? Im asking sincerely. Medical people say its shit for diagnosing, its utter garbage for creative fields, it cannot teach and hallucinates false answers, programmers have to fix its code half the time, businesses find it doesn't help productivity and it causes psychosis.

Research confirms that the more skilled professionals like doctors and software engineers rely on AI, the more their skills degrade. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

My wife has forced a long pause in our FFXIV patch catch-up to Gpose with Sphene during their little afternoon walk around town I've been waiting for like 25 minutes for her to find the right angle

Statement from The Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800 on Martin Scorsese’s recent promotion of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) The Art Directors Guild represents storyboard and concept artists in live-action film, series, and commercials

Statement from The Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800 on Martin Scorsese’s recent promotion of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI):

"Mr. Scorsese, The Business is not in flux.

Oscar winning director Martin Scorsese is turning his back on the human artists who throughout his career have helped him create his most memorable works.

In the recently released Black Forest Labs video promoting their generative AI product FLUX, Mr. Scorsese asks the question, “how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew?” He claims the solution is the use of this generative AI program to do the jobs that are rightfully the jurisdiction of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers - human artists and designers who have been successfully collaborating with directors to visualize their films for decades. Mr. Scorsese's promotion of a generative AI product circumvents the input of Art Directors Guild Local 800 art directors, graphic artists, illustrators, production designers, scenic artists, set designers, and other talented Union professionals.

Generative AI is only capable of producing this type of “cinematic intelligence” by ingesting large swaths of copyrighted work, likely scraped from the internet without consent, credit, compensation, or transparency.

The skills of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers bring the highest level of value to any film or television production. To think their professional contributions can be mimicked or outshone by generative AI, which is built on work likely stolen from them and many other artists from around the world, is a betrayal of the collaborative nature of cinema."

October 15th, Rose Belmont will hunt the Night in Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse. Check out the new trailer introducing Rose (finally!), a first peek at the Castle & an insane key art by Terada-San. Imagining the story of a new Belmont is a lifetime privilege, and we hope you’ll love Rose like we do.
