Quick update: This is apparently a legit BD release, BUT only a catalog re-promotion. All 3 trilogies are being re-released on Blu-ray next month ahead of May the 4th. No new remastering or extras of any kind, just a re-release of the EXISTING Blu-rays. So there you go. @thedigitalbits.bsky.social

Heads up to STAR WARS fans today: This art has been circulating online this morning, with a claim that a remastered Original Trilogy Blu-ray release is happening NEXT MONTH on April 7. It’s 100% AI-generated BS. The Death Star plans are NOT in the main computer system. @thedigitalbits.bsky.social

One MIGHT have hoped for a more thoughtful, nuanced conversation about issues as weighty as AI and the future of humanity. But... nope.

That feeling of watching yet another legacy Hollywood studio get purchased by billionaires / mega-corps for... you know... reasons.

I didn't notice this at all. Is it possible it's related to the particular hardware a viewer is using?

Who is the "AI Asian Guy" and Why is he Manipulating Silver Markets? YouTube video by Ryan McBeth

Humanity is in SO MUCH TROUBLE with AI if we don’t get control of AI SLOP. It isn’t Skynet or HAL we have to fear, it’s fake propaganda and BS generated by people who mean to cause chaos.

DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media As streaming continues to dominate the film and TV industry, many Gen Z movie watchers are opting out and choosing physical formats instead.

This is certainly encouraging. Tip of the hat to my Gen Z readers out there! @thedigitalbits.bsky.social
