Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.
There is a very real argument being made in Hollywood that AI democratizes filmmaking, making it available to outsiders. In truth, the cost of effective generative AI is cost prohibitive to all but corporations, leading to no improvement in quality at the cost of jobs both above and below the line.
Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · 2mo agoA24 defends AI partnership “Our relationship with our audience is something we don’t take for granted .. We want to dictate what tools get built for artists, and so they have a voice in shaping them rather than having tools handed to them. We’d rather have a seat at the table than on the sidelines"

In case there was any question, Talarico has my axe. And my vote. Let’s get this guy into the senate.
James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social · 3mo agoKen Paxton is throwing everything he has at us. He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan! I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.
A reminder that every sign has at least one bad story behind it. Sometimes many.

Having made a film at Marvel was a hell of a thing. Departments like VFX are crazy because almost everyone there has won or been nominated for Oscars or Emmys (or both). The wealth of talent there was insane. Much love to everyone affected by such a stupid purge. Y'all really have been killing it.
