  • I definitely agree with you that DnD was legit, it deserved far more attention than it got, and not just for the writing and performances.

    You can call that defensiveness if you like; I think that downplays the intent of pointing out the constant barrage of painfully biased internet whiners regarding anything comic book related at play culturally, but I’d argue there’s an objective measure that’s unfair in your criticism. In D&W the interpersonal violence is an extension of emotional processing, and an expression of who the characters are, and also why they are uniquely suited to help each other heal in ways their powers can’t help with. Basically, violence is all they know and how they both solve all their problems, and being unkillable gives an opportunity to work out other traumas without they typical consequence of ending people who would want to help. But yeah of course there’s an element of bias at play for all of us, and flaws in every movie to varying degrees.






  • The reason we hate AI is cause it’s not for us. It’s developed and controlled by people who want to control us better. It is a tool to benefit capital, and capital always extracts from labour, AI only increases the efficiency of exploitation because that’s what it’s for. If we had open sourced public AI development geared toward better delivering social services and managing programs to help people as a whole, we would like it more. Also none of this LLM shit is actually AI, that’s all branding and marketing manipulation, just a reminder.
