I don’t think I realized how valuable my skill of being able to bang out a B+/A- 10-pager in 24h would be when I was in college. I always ended the process feeling deep shame and self-loathing for putting it off until 24h before. But at least I fucking wrote it

Miyazaki: “Good job.” Yamamori: “It’s so short, though” Miyazaki: “But it was worth it.”

Crazy right?

Ghibli trend…

people on the timeline creating AI slop art for a show that is so deeply, at its core, about the philosophy of humanity... 🫣

my extravagant lifestyle of paying for housing and buying groceries is really getting in the way of my ability to save money

I know we live in a world where anyyything can mean anything AND NO BODY EVEN CARES ABOUT ETYMOLO—

You're all making grandpa cry btw

This four second crowd scene from Studio Ghibli’s The Wind Rises (2013) took animator Eiji Yamamori 1 year and 3 months to complete

it's been accessible since the stone age you fucking idiot

half these people making "Ghibli style" edits haven't even watched a single Hayao Miyazaki movie, just like the people making Wes Anderson parodies hadn't watched Wes Anderson. it's all just shallow aesthetics to them. profoundly anti-art movement

They coordinated with the Red Cross. They went in to save lives. Israel executed all 16 of them—ambulance crews, first responders—then buried their bodies & destroyed their vehicles. This isn’t self-defense. This is a war crime. A massacre. And the world is still silent.

"AI has made art accessible." we were drawing on cave walls, pick up a pencil

Canada is potentially about to elect a Prime Minister with a PhD in economics from Oxford, Mexico elected someone with a degree in physics and a PhD in energy engineering. America elected a barely sentient turnip.

Massive canary in the coalmine moment

watching a famously anti-fascist environmentalist creator’s artstyle co-opted to sanction literal fascist propaganda…it’s a pure distillation of evil perverting good. I am full of rage

Look, call me the fun police or whatever but Hayao Miyazaki didn’t spend his entire life cultivating a distinct artistic identity so that AI could reduce decades of his discipline and integrity to meme fodder. It’s a shame how easily y’all abandon principle just to feel included.

I am actually so worried about the future man. The irony of using Dune as the source for your AI bullshit is insane, and just more proof that people that use it are lazy and stupid. You are ignoring the actual meaning of the book, which is inherently anti-AI, for engagement on X.
