Controversial opinion... Not all horror has to be event horror and that a lot of what we are perceiving as Indie Horror success right now is actually just a form of mainstream-like hype.

Take Longlegs... The trailers, the casting of Cage... These are classic mainstream cinema tactics.

Novelty is fine, but doesn't that ho back to the times of free vomit bags and life insurance policies?

Maybe grabbing attention should be from well crafted films telling great narratives that resonate with audiences, and if you have to think "outside of the box" then your box isn't big enough in the first place.

This is the internet. It's OK to swear here.

Exquisite.

Also the first twin stick arcade game I played.

So, like none of these folk read The Running Man then?

Or many of the hundred times this idea has been used in Sci-fi.

I suspect most memes are just 1980s British mid stand-up routines in disguise.

The devil is in the details. Different contracts state different usages.

Often, I'm hired to make things for folk, and they own it entirely. I see these things out in the world, I sometimes see other artists hired to butcher it to fit a new purpose. But that's OK, I account for that, and often I hand over the source files from the things I make... Layered documents etc.

However, there's a really disturbing trend of large companies appropriating fan art and claiming that because they own the IP any derivatives belong to them too. This is far ickier.

The main thing though is credit. You'd think that giving a nod to the original artist would be nice. It costs nothing and can have a massive impact on their business.

I mean, this was in 2016.

People made worse decisions that year. A lot of people.

And opposing those actions is not antisemitic.

We take those two things together as truth and we are getting somewhere.

Love how this story grows arms and legs. It was actually a Jimmy Carr joke that folk pretend was real.

Can we swap out the word "hallucinations" for the word "bullshit"?

I think all AI/LLM stuf should be prefaced as "someone down the pub said..."

So, "someone down the pub said you can eat rocks" or, "someone down the pub said you should put glue on your pizza".

Hallucinations are cool, shit like this is worthless.

"There are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android."

So there are ways.

Wow, he must have really learned his lesson from the last 9 telling offs.
