Shout-Out to Matt Groening before the money poured in! A person you don’t know passed away yesterday. She lived her entire life trying to make other people’s lives better. She was the humblest person I’ve ever known. Cancer took her away. She didn’t deserve this. She was a queen . Life goes on. And on.
It’s Sunday And Things Aren’t Right-An Open Thread

I wish…
Tariffs (a regressive tax, of course) will hurt the poor & middle class, not trumps billionaire buddies. These tariffs are paying for their tax cuts, of course.
& the billionaire owned press will blame dems & “entitlement programs” for the pain & say the solution is to kill the ACA & Social Security.
The rubes will eat it up & keep voting republican because “republicans are fiscally conservative”
Just like they have been for the past 40 years.
By the way, I’m here in Donald Trump’s Washington D.C., the Land of Absolute Fantasy.
I’ve made a fan of Balls! There are some really good “fake AI trailers” in this method.
It’s using AI as a creative tool, not a substitute for human creativity.
Pure AI is soulless dreck. We’ve been using AI tools in high-end VFX since the late 1990’s, from very basic to more advanced; the technology just keeps maturing.
I’ve posted this before, but I still think this “Flintstones” trailer is the best one I’ve seen so far. This has so much human creativity (and decision making) in the implementation of the AI tools, that’s what makes it so good.
Oops! Forgot to Control-C before Control-V! Try again (Scooby is good too):
Balls, look at the difference between the “Scooby” trailer and the “Flintstones” trailer. They were made by two different creators. The “Flintstones” is vastly superior of the two. First, it is short and to the point, second, it has consistency and quality control.
The “Scooby” trailer is inconsistent, too long, rambling, and seems thrown together.
