it's really annoying that any time something else terrible happens in the US due to our government/whatever, there are people who are in a rush to be like "why are you surprised???" as though it's a contest to be the most jaded possible person about how terrible all of our lives are. don't do this

Seriously academics get genuinely excited about this, it is often the best email they will get all month. I once had a professor send me not just the paper I requested but six more that he'd written that related to the topic he was so happy someone outside academia wanted to read his work

Everyone keeps posting this as if it's real. It's a sloppy blog post trying to package one gimmick from a Brian Eno documentary into a trend piece. The gimmick isn't even AI, it's procedural generation. I'm begging you to read actual articles

This looks like a sloppy blog post trying to package one cute gimmick for a Brian Eno documentary into a trend piece. There's no evidence in this piece that anyone wants to do this to Hollywood movies

The whole AI thing does make a kind of perverse sense when you think of its target customer as the societally checked-out CEO and SVP who hasn't read or written an email or memo themselves in 20 years, doesn't use the internet or watch movies, and mostly talks with their stock broker
