  • It’s not wrong, Tumblr was more popular for a while, although this makes it look like the crossing happened in 2011:

    Tumblr peaked in 2013 and took a sharp downturn, then crossed back under Blog by 2019 (Gee, I wonder why it didn’t recover… 🔞)





  • There’s a sci-fi story I know of with two endings, and the “normal” one ends with:

    “And he lived happily ever after.”

    From the context in the story that is actually super creepy and depressing.

    The other ending is much more upbeat, despite including a few billion deaths.

    Edit:
    I already spoiled the endings, but if you want to read it, it’s This.














  • Edit: Oops. Didn’t know who the Cannes audience was. The below would only apply if this gets a regular release. /Edit

    My guess is the audience simply won’t care and the movie will do reasonably average, depending on the script.

    Sure here on a niche forum like Lemmy we care about the incredible energy waste, the artists being exploited, etc, and that “AI art” only looks good from a distance with all the little details being screwed up at a close examination. (When it’s not a lovecraftian horror right on the surface - see “bloopers” in that video in the article)

    But the general public? To them “AI” is: Haha, funny Ghibli filter.
