AI basically shows us what matters most and what doesn’t matter as much as we thought

I can’t count the number of times we’ve been told human work will be entirely replaced by AI. And this definitely rings true for anything analytical, mathematical, or text-based (writing, lawyering, accounting, coding, adjudicating, etc.). These are the first most automatable tasks that you can think of. The replacement theory is also increasingly true regarding graphic design, music and film. Yes, we still call it slop when we can see the obvious signs of artificially generated content. But that only happens if we care as much as to look in depth which 99% of humans don’t have time for. 

However, the blatant shortcomings of AI are things that, up until now, we haven’t really placed much value on, such as for example the very task for which there is a constant demand: cooking, putting food on the table. AI can’t prepare a meal. It can give you instructions and boss you around, but it can’t do much on its own. Not only that, it can’t grocery shop, and even less grow vegetables. We still have to do these things on our own or hire people (TFWs) to do these things for us. Then comes the task of cleaning and laundry, literally any basic manual labor that requires a human body to move around and do things is NOT automatable by the most advanced AI as we know them. 

In sum, AI can now make movies, but it can’t replace a hamburger flipper at McDonald’s. Yup

Here is Michael Jackson as a Walmart cashier arguing with a customer over an expired coupon. There are thousands of Sora 2 featuring MJ vids on TikTok. I can’t say that it hasn’t been entertaining. So yeah, too bad for the movie industry. Now you have to tell your story in 10 seconds.

I love this video and the way this was filmed. The costumes give me vibes from the 1920’s era, though some of the styling, hair and make-up is a shoutout to 60’s aesthetics and Liza Minelli. The song is also very good. It starts like Lana del Rey but it evolves from there. I don’t understand why people are complaining. I actually want to see more of this style. It suits the era we’re living in. 

Mélange des genres

Film super captivant et très proche de la réalité. Le film explore les préjugés des policiers à l’égard des survivantes de violences basées sur le genre, ainsi que la démonisation de tout collectif féminin, les trips d’infiltration des policiers et l’amour des mises en scènes et la création de couvertures convaincantes (incluant des pages de sites web anti-datées), la corruption au sein de la police, l’attitude cavalière envers les survivantes et le désir de criminaliser les contacts et groupes de support de toute survivante qui a efficacement réglé un problème en tuant un abuseur.  La policière essaie par tout moyen de trouver une preuve quelconque de complicité incriminant le collectif, mais sa couverture commence à s’estomper… 

en plus, c’est une comédie. C’est drôle par moments.

Partir Un Jour, le film qui a ouvert Cannes cette année

J’ai eu la chance d’enfin voir ce film, et vraiment c’est une surprise agréable. Histoire somme toute assez simple, mais la réalisation et l’interprétation sont extraordinaires. Les Français viennent de mettre la barre assez haute.. du coup. 

Partir un jour by Amélie Bonnin is a French musical comedy (and also a very physical one) and in my opinion one of the best made films this year. I want to see more of this genre.
