  • Created by Peter Luisi, the movie has been marketed as the “first feature film written entirely by AI”.

    It follows a celebrated screenwriter called Jack who finds his world shaken when he encounters a cutting-edge AI scriptwriting system.

    After initially being sceptical, Jack realises the AI matches his skills and surpasses his empathy and understanding of human emotions.

    This sounds like the dumbest movie ever written, by AI or otherwise.














  • It’s not just “they make products and services that people buy”, it’s that “they maximize their personal profit at the expense of people and the environment”.

    It’s easy but reductive to blame consumers for consuming, when it’s worth noting that biodegradable packaging costs more than plastics that will never break down, so corporations will choose cheap plastic over environmentally friendly packaging 99.9% of the time.

    The incentives are wrong. Instead of maximizing profit we need to ensure that profit is not maximized at the expense of sustainability, at the expense of pollution, and at the expense of the entire future of our planet.
