Anecdotal, of course. Which states they going to? Do they compare to CA?

i usually go to gcombinator for my greg updates

I've been thinking a lot about this across many different mediums, not just filmmaking, and I think it's one worth digging deeper on.*

What is lost when losing the (understandably annoying) process of the grind? By letting LLMs do the busy work, do you lose the opportunity to stumble into randomness? Do you lose the understanding of what is possible/interesting with the medium?

And do you end up in this derivative future where decisions are made by a system that was trained on all the previous uses of it?

Obviously that's fairly hyperbolic, but I have absolutely felt the pull of it all. When it decides to take a couple extra steps I didn't ask for creatively and I think "eh, that's fine."

- tons of variation in font sizes (this one has 15 different text sizes!)

- more typically, a lot of overexplaining

...you know it's vibe'd, specifically with Claude!

you mean the first or the thirteenth.

Hilariously this is successfully tracking these cameras being overloaded with requests in real time.

100%. I had one in my cart before I uncovered this stuff. Obviously people have a right to speak (and to buy the product), but it's too far for me.

Cost per kill ("CPK" in industry lingo) is a dark phrase that feels disturbingly within reach of some of these companies.

Not to go off topic, but there's some similarities between that and the way that Hacker News is run/moderated. But I believe they've found a pretty ideal balance. Even though they occasionally annoy me with with fun things taken down, I understand the need to have some consistency.

Perhaps they need to take a page out of dang (and team)'s book.
