turns out the Apple ad is emblematic of GenAI not just in that 'crush creators and their tools' spirit but in the literal sense of being wholly derivative of someone else's intellectual property

perhaps the biggest surprise of Day 1: seeing the Netflix logo on back to back movies (Napoléon and The Second Act). The conflict between the streaming model and French cultural policies makes Comp incompatible, but they’ve kept a bigger distance than they need to

in the heat of a festival, I am nonetheless tempted to call Abel Gance’s Napoléon (or at least its 3h40 first half) the most transformative restoration I’ve ever seen. The audience was the first to see it this way since 1927, and it looked like it hadn’t aged a day

'Bright v1' and 'Bright (Fast)'... not since 'Wicked Little Town (Tommy Gnosis Version)' and 'Wicked Little Town (Hedwig Version).'

So it's looking like 'Not Like Us' is gonna be the song of the summer. It just dawned on me that DJs are gonna have such a tricky time maneuvering around any Drake songs in general at parties for the next few months. I mean, you can still play them... but like, when LOL?
