the computer spit this out and someone said “ok good enough” and I’m supposed to care about it why

From the beautiful native stereoscopic 3D animation of The Book of Life to... this. Cameron, Soderbergh, and Aronofsky was bad enough, but Gutierrez??? I never expected him to give up on art. Looking at the image it appears to be straight up slop 😓

All Wicked fans should check this out, I got my order in. So many awesome artists involved. Very exciting! #wicked #gelphie

What a delight to screen Zootopia 2 in pristine Dolby 3D today at the community cinema (familycinema.ca) for our final show of the season! I paired Pixar's lovely Bao short with it as well, also in 3D. We had a crowd of over 300! 🤩 #film #movies #disney #zootopia #3D #3-D #3dmovies #wdas

Disappointed to share that the James Cameron Billie Eilish concert film is slathered with AI-conversion tech by the same Outsyders group that ruined the live-action lilo and stitch film's "3D" presentation. #3D #stereoscopy #3-D #movies #film

I wish I'd have set up a dedicated optical drive enclosure earlier! It's so convenient to rip multiple discs at once and cover all use-cases with one box: CD/DVD/BD/3D/UHD, redump, disc quality scans & more! Highly recommend all physical media enthusiasts look into it. #dvd #bluray #uhd #4k #makemkv

Been waiting ages for James Cameron to discuss the possibility of granting Aliens a stereo conversion. Titanic and T2 are stunning in 3D so I hope he can complete Aliens and Terminator as well! letterboxd.com/journal/jame... #3D #3-D #stereoscopic #stereoscopy #bluray #movies #film #aliens

Birds of a Feather: James Cameron on collaborating with Billie Eilish, and everyone’s new favorite Avatar character, Varang • Journal • A Letterboxd Magazine

The entire home entertainment division of Disney has been eliminated... wow To go from Buena Vista putting out stellar stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray releases every few months to completely dead in 15 years. Tragic :( www.thewrap.com/creative-con... #disney #marvel #3d #physicalmedia #bluray #dvd #film

Incredibly, AO3 declared an end to beta status after 17 years 🤯 I never thought this would happen tbh, I assumed OTW would consider it in a mid-development state forever! Funny to see the logo without "beta". Seems invites are still being used. www.transformativeworks.org/ao3-is-exiti... #ao3 #otw

If you're on the fence about getting a DLP projector or an aspect ratio changing screen, don't hesitate. You'll regret having not done it sooner. I am so sad Wicked isn't on 3D Blu-ray. The UHD versions are among the best looking and sounding home media releases ever 😓 #projection #3d #hometheater

I wish I was this optimistic. Stereoscopic film is so inaccessible right now 🥲 It would be an absolute miracle if manufacturers gave the slightest care about 3D :(

in another 10 years, VR will be "the next big thing" again, probably after another attempt at 3D TVs

I'm no journalist, so maybe there's an obvious reason not to that I'm not seeing, but I do find it odd that it's not standard practice to publish transcripts alongside highly condensed interview pieces like this.

Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 8mo ago

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

Yeah I don’t understand why the focus in articles like this is always “is it working for you” instead of “what do you have to say about the massive ethical implications of using it?”

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

Bluesky continues to collaborate with awful governments and ignore user privacy. Their new move is to require UK users to submit their ID to Epic Games lmao. www.theverge.com/news/704468/...

Bluesky is rolling out age verification in the UK

Bluesky users in the UK can verify their age using their face, ID, or payment card.

Bluesky is unethically collaborating with dictators. It operates a Turkish content labeler, which any account registered in Turkey is required to subscribe to, and censors posts. I'm disappointed, but not surprised. Was a good run here.

That's so much the wrong direction (centralisation, opacity). Why not improve on the DNS-based verification? (which is decentralized and transparent) Sounds like a cheap marketing move :/.

Seeing Bluesky had to remove posts the Turkish government demanded removed Is it possible to do this similar to how chilling effect (now lumen) handles DMCA notices? Content preserved but removed? Like this? lumendatabase.org/notices/5106...

I honestly thought y'all were making this up

YouTube and twitter are really turning up the dial on their awful ai-ml video encoding. Everything looks disgusting when compared to higher quality original copies. I wish companies like Disney were smart enough to upload their videos in 2160p containers to get around this mess, but alas.
