In Review: It’s Not Too Late for the Movies to Reject AI A dramatic week in the AI wars made it clear that the future is far from lost, and that we can't afford to fight for it on the tech community's terms.

Narrator: β€œThe movies did not, in fact, reject AI.”

Demo, by Muttergutter 4 track album

I generally keep this account focused on my writing, but alongside my many varied pursuits, I’m also in a punk band! We put out our first demo a few weeks ago & today is Bandcamp Friday, in case you want to help us fund stickers & other merch.

Manhunter is good but not great & inferior to The Silence of the Lambs; Red Dragon the movie is not bad.

Dollar Store Discs: 'Don’t Speak' (2020) Is Flawed but Human In our latest dive into the dollar DVD bin, we checked out Scott Chambers' 2020 creature feature Don't Speak.

Ended up back on the floor of the dollar store & if you are a huge fan of this movie, please don’t tell me, cuz it hurts.

IKWYDLS reboot made some back-half decisions I wasn’t in love with but I’m *riding* for this movie because of how girly it is.
We haven’t had a bigtime teen girl oriented slasher in a while & it’s been needed.

So we enter the space, or we watch the tape, expecting simplicity. But holy shit. I'm still not alone. Something knows I'm here. & it’s not happy.

I can retreat all I want into some imaginary simpler time but I can never escape the eyes.

Hey, analog media! It wasn't algorithm recommended, I don't have to get yet another app to enjoy it, I can just pop a tape in & the fact that I watched it won’t be sold to some advertiser that calculates it with a few thousand other data points about me & uses that to try to sell me stuff
