The idea of Sauron creating powerful rings that are corrupting but helpful to elves/dwarves/humans at first, feels similar to Al n social media. The rings control the wearers will. AI-SM algorithms direct our choices by controlling what we see. And it’s hard to resist them both.

And I know that Tolkien hated finding allegories and metaphors in his work. But it’s just weird how more relevant his work has become now.

Era una sensacion rara ver en la noche tele, era como otro mundo, parecia eterna la noche
الشعور اللي كنت بتحسّه وأنت بتسهر بالليل وتتفرج على الكرتون في طفولتك.

This right here is why I love Project Hail Mary. It reminds you that scifi is much more than showing the dark extents of humanity. It reminds you there are several things to be grateful about being a human and what an awesome experience it is just to be alive…
I don't remember if this was in the movie, but in the Project Hail Mary book, there's a scene where Grace tells Rocky he has eyes, and Rocky's like, "Wait, your people have an organ that can sense radiation and the direction of its source? So you can just look up and see stars?"

Peter Jackson says ‘TINTIN 2’ will be the next film he directs. He has just completed the script. (via: screenrant.com/peter-jackson…)

Perfect Days is not the kind of film I want to dissect and intellectualise. The moment you try to understand why a 5.30 shadow of the tree leaves swaying in the wind to sunset makes you feel peaceful, that's the moment you stop feeling peaceful….

Yes, it's very slice-of-life, about appreciating simple things in life, but that's not the only thing I loved about the movie. You don't even have to agree with the director on what it's about. Maybe you'd find your own ways to appreciate it, and that's why you should watch it.

This is funny but it kinda sums up why I try to avoid AI as much as I can. I want intuition and pure randomness to guide my choices than whatever narrowness AI brings me. I’d trust the millions of years of evolution behind my subconscious than an algorithm. It’s more fun that way
Reject AI, embrace tradition

Yeah, it used an AI powered program they wrote, trained on libraries THEY made specifically for it to aid with a very tedious part of animating. It's not generative AI. When will people learn that the problem is generative AI and not AI-powered/assisted tools?
