52 years ago today, Serpico hit screens—Lumet, Pacino, and one of the greatest anti-corruption stories ever filmed.

“As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster.”

You have to be a truly awful human being to watch two injured men drowning for 41 minutes and decide the best and only response is blowing them up.

there's a certain personality that's very debilitating in modern life. 100 years ago, if you wanted to buy something, you'd go to five local shops and decide. now with the internet, you need to spend 1,000 hours so you can own the best version in the world like you're some venetian patrician

The Number of People Using AI at Work Is Suddenly Falling Recent data from the US Census Bureau shows that the amount of workers using AI on the job is falling to a dismal rate.

Is that good?

Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

“we estimate employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work has fallen by a percentage point & now sits at 11%. Adoption has fallen sharply at the largest businesses, those employing +250 people. 3 yrs into the genAI wave, demand looks surprisingly flimsy” www.economist.com/finance-and-...

Rest In Peace Robert Redford

Que extrae del cine que le entusiasma?
Alguien apuntaba que Dano le parece 'weak,weak,weak', porque quizá está más cerca de su propia personalidad que de la imagen que tiene de sí mismo.
El rechazo que le provoca es tan visceral que algo más hay ahí

Sobre Tarantino y Paul Dano

Lo conocí muy poco, pero su energía y entusiasmo por el cine independiente eran contagiosas. Terrible

Tanto lío con La jungla de cristal cuando la única peli navideña que hay que ver cada año es NO CONTROLES, que es una obra maestra de la comedia y me hace llorar siempre en dos momentos muy específicos.

La estética de IA generativa es una cosa de viejos (a partir de mi edad). Son los que más se entusiasman con el juguete. Los grupos de WhatsApp de mi madre se llenan cada día de imágenes de IA deseando buenas noches o buenos días.

Creo que esto os puede gustar, @pvallin.bsky.social @gzapata.bsky.social

How it started, etc. etc.

lol remember when they were pretending you could make GTA6 "In 6 months with a team of 10" and AI would handcraft you five Oscar-worthy films daily with single-sentence prompts

Now it's "This jiggly AI slut never says no"

The Culture Wars Came for Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales Is Staying the Course.

I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

Saw a familiar joke in ’After the Thin Man’ and went down a rabbit hole of finding the earliest filmed version.

Hostias :(

Una premisa interesante y un interrogante potente sostienen cualquier desarrollo.
El problema es que una buena pregunta al final necesita una buena respuesta.

Pluribus como ejemplo paradigmático de la importancia de la cuestión dramática.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

One of the reasons why EYES WIDE SHUT has become such an unlikely Christmas movie is that it’s basically the IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE of fucking. www.vulture.com/2019/06/eyes...
