The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)

By Martin Ansin

Calling Cormac McCarthy’s authorial style a “mistake” that AI no longer makes is so funny

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

for me “doom scrolling” is actually just the pathological hunt for the first piece of news that indicates this whole unbearable moment is about to unravel

we need a no history month. historians deserve a break.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

the New York Post hed: I THINK YOU SHOULD LOUVRE

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

Tweet from a loser that says, "I will have 30k to make a fully AI film, what’s the plan? I’m supposed to have ideas by next week. cmon guys what would you want to see? I like sci-fi but it feels to obvious for AI 🤷‍♂️"

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

need to make everyone in San Francisco watch this video every morning and every night

The thing about weird artists is that they do exactly as implied: They make the weird choices...and weird choices are innately human. A machine can only approximate weird, but it will never know what it means to intentionally skew. Weird art is power and possibility. Strangeness is existence.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Strange what some folks understand as political. This was absolutely an explicitly political performance.

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

Doing art badly is good and sacred

Remember, sneering works. It’s working now. That’s why the lowliest AI fan and the CEO of Microsoft are trying to get us to stop saying “slop.”

AI art is supposed to be its flashy flagship and treating it as disposable rubbish (which it is) ruins everything

They say “But you LIKED this art when you didn’t know it was AI!” like it’s some kind of gotcha.

We liked the original artist upon whose stolen work the machine was trained. Kindly point us in their direction.
