Of all the places “AI” absolutely does not belong, in the hands of university students and professors has to be close to the top of the list. What would a place that is supposed to be a center of human learning and founding critical thinking skills need with a product explicitly advertising its self as a shortcut to doing the work and “thinking critically” for you?

I did specifically say the leaders and aristocracy of apartheid South Africa, which I would hope to your point implies something different than a citizen of South Africa.

If Kubrick had filmed a fake moon landing the conspiracy wouldn’t exist. The nimrods that believe that shit couldn’t begin to fathom how much of an insane perfectionist he was, he’d have created his own moon
- Comment on The Peter Thiel-Linked Race Science Network that Penetrated Cambridge University and Targeted Jason Arday 3 weeks ago:
Every single member of the aristocracy and political leaders of both the Confederacy and apartheid South Africa should have been very publicly executed. And said executions celebrated with drinking holidays. We’d be in a much better spot globally

Yeah I got mixed up bit you got what I meant, and they both could easily be wrong! Art is always an ongoing subjective conversation between artist and audience and then subsequently audience to audience
- Comment on Has anobody seen Odyssey? 1 month ago:
It’s not that Siskel’s opinion or critique of the film was wrong, but his contention that his average audience member would dislike the movie for the same reasons he disliked it were at least for this poster incorrect.

Art by corporate committee, a fucking travesty
- Comment on Has anobody seen Odyssey? 1 month ago:
I want to be clear I don’t disagree at all you’re correct. Corporate control of art means they will go to any lengths to ensure profit.
But also, I really kinda glossed over the overarching problem, which is that the film industry is now driven by reviews and vibes reviewed by c-suite folks that answer to shareholders and don’t give a fuck about the actual film or show or whatever
This has always been true with the plastic arts but we’ve reached a zenith.
I will die on the hill that art cannot be considered a financial investment. It by definition has to take risks and investment people cannot handle that
- Comment on Has anobody seen Odyssey? 1 month ago:
I swear rotten tomatoes and IMDb fucked up movies and tv more than anyone talks about. You can’t REALLY make an review of a work of art, even if it is corporate produced tripe, with a percentage scale or */10 system, and before anyone comes at me I know it’s been done for decades but it was never a be all and end all thing, critics wrote articles about things and you might disagree with their sensibilities and go see it specifically because a particular critic didn’t like it, the opposite is also true.
At some point though we crossed a line where no one actually reads the criticism and internalizes it, instead they just look at the number and make it either a personal attack or validation. Thats a really bad way to experience art of any kind.
This isn’t a complete thought I feel, but I hate the reality of film and television criticism today, not because critics are worthless, because that’s just silly. If you like something Peter Travers said was dog shit go find a critic that speaks to your taste it’s not difficult and doesn’t mean your favorite movie actually sucks.
