I love seeing people complain about AI on an AI companyās platform. It shows theyāre either hypocrites or they donāt know theyāve already lost the argument.

One of my favorite books as a kid, not sure I'm excited to hear it's going to be a movie. Hopefully it turns out well.
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is developing a movie adaptation of "Hatchet," Gary Paulsenās 1987 young adult survival novel.
ā¢ The film will be written and directed by Derek Cianfrance, best known for films such as āBlue Valentineā and āThe Place Beyond the Pines.ā
ā¢ Per the synopsis: āHatchetā follows ā13-year-old Brian Robeson, who is stranded alone in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash with nothing but the hatchet his mother gave him.ā
ā¢ Paulsen later expanded the story into a five-book series that included āThe Riverā (1991), āBrianās Winterā (1996), āBrianās Returnā (1999) and āBrianās Huntā (2003).

This is no different from saying a person who uses deadly force to stop a mass shooter is the same as the mass shooter because they have also taken a life.
Good morning! Soā¦help me out here-
What's the difference between the U.S. government live-streaming the execution of a terrorist and Islamic terrorists broadcasting the beheadings of their prisoners?š¤·

Most of the objection to television executions seems to be that it's... distasteful. Gauche.
Many agree that execution is fine, so long as it's done behind the scenes.
But our culture has a tendency to sweep aside anything that makes us uncomfortable, as if hiding something erases its moral impact.
However, insofar as executions deter other potential attackers - they should be televised.
And yes, insofar as executions represent our society taking the life of another human - they should definitely be televised.
We don't like to see the sausage being made. But that doesn't change the fact that a pig is slaughtered.
We don't like to talk about casualties of war. But that doesn't change the fact that almost any choice made by our political leadership will result in the deaths of innocent men, women, and children, somewhere or somehow.
We sanitize language surrounding abortion. As if referring to something as "healthcare" changes the reality of killing and dismembering a human fetus.
Televising executions isn't about entertainment, and it's certainly not about bloodlust.
Instead, it serves two purposes.
1) Deterrence.
Just as seeing images of rotting lungs on cigarette cartons is a greater deterrent against smoking than simply knowing about cancer, a public execution is clearly a greater deterrent against crime.
2) Responsibility.
It's no small thing to sentence a man to death. And if we, as a society, are to execute people (which I think in certain cases we should), there should also be absolute clarity over what that means. The death penalty should never be reduced to some bureaucraric process with its human element erased.
Hiding our executions doesn't make us more civilized than ancient civilizations, it just makes us less transparent.

I've already seen this.
First look at Mike Flanagan's āTHE EXORCISTā film, starring Scarlett Johansson, Chiwetel Ejiofor & John Leguizamo.
The film follows a detective who watches the execution of a serial killer - only for his murder spree to continue in demonic ways.
In theaters on March 12, 2027.

This is a direct attack on @TheQuartering
YouTube is cracking down on clipping channels and prioritizing original content for Shorts
Channels that recycle other creators' content without adding "real value" will get less push in the algorithm

Of course it wonāt because Hollywood is far-left.
MCU star Mark Ruffalo has continued to speak out against attempts to disrupt voting in U.S. elections despite potential risk to his career as The Hulk, but he seems confident he can do both. bit.ly/4y4zIjf

Hypocrites don't know they're hypocrites.
Honestly wtf is wrong being anti-AI and supporting Neurosama????
Unlike big corpos, we're talking about an indie developer who trained an AI alone with publicly accessible data anyone can either give or not.
And also, surprise surprise, she dosen't need AI to make what she is.

Florence Pugh must have some major blackmail material on Kevin Feige.
