Old Man Succumbs to Chatbot Flattery, volume 25841.
But also, Lucas was always exchanted by cgi, even when it looked way worse than practical effects.
Crap-looking Special Edition Jabba has awkwardly entered the chat.
Classic George L, I wouldn’t have expected any more from him
He climbed the ladder, and now he doesn’t care if it gets kicked down.

common George Lucas L
Flukey dilettante regards stochastic parrot as unfathomable prodigy
Read all about it
This reads like one of those mass-delete gibberish Reddit comments, lol
It’s not every day you get to use a word like dilettante, so I figured I’d make a salad
Thanks for that, Dennis Miller.
Old, white and wealthy. Of course he thinks AI is the future, all his kind do.
Lucas has never seen a technology he wasn’t willing to shoehorn and abuse in one of his films.
He’s like the polar opposite of James Cameron.
it probably produces dialog that sounds more like it was written by a human
Harsh but accurate. Without Carrie Fisher to doctor his scripts (and his wife to find the film in the edit) Lucas was a director famously indifferent to dialogue or character.
My calendar app seems to have also “gone to the dark side.” It says next year will be 2027.
When did “easily making an obviously accurate forecast” start being referred to as “going to the dark side?” I just don’t see the connection…
Are the Sith, like, seers of the obvious in some of the expanded lore books?🤔 Maybe in the books the Sith tell people whenever water will continue to be wet, Sarlacc pits will remain dangerous places to practice parkour, and Space will continue to exist?
That’s a lot of words to smuggle in the baseless assertion that “AI is inevitable and we must embrace it”
NFTs are inevitable. Crypto is inevitable. Metaverse is inevitable.
Who said you have the embrace it? Do what you want! Doesn’t change what others are doing, nor should it.
I still have all three of those. I’m guessing you’ve got none.
Mmm yesss, cry about the down votes more.
Thanks, they’re representative of the clueless masses blinded by irrational hatred. Nothing will change by pointing them out, but it sure is entertaining to the pragmatic few.
Nah, they represent your shit take!
You’re so witty. Did you come to Lemmy straight from Reddit, or did you spend a couple years on Musk’s Twitter to really refine your brilliant takes?
You can’t (in good faith) claim “AI is the future” is “an obviously accurate forecast” when half of Lemmy is actively trying to dismantle that notion.
Why not? Like babies at a space opera, they can cry all they like about things they can’t comprehend that they wish would go away.
Except they’ll be just as effective as they were at making Bitcoin go away. (Bitcoin still exists, people still use it.)
If by “it’ll decay into a pathetic corpse of its former self after destroying things with actual value,” then sure.
But we both know that’s not what you were trying to imply lol
What will decay into a pathetic corpse of it’s former self after destroying things with actual value? The only things I can think of that match that description are the USA in the short-term, and humanity in the long-term.
Hmmm… Maybe you meant to respond to someone else.
Of course an AI booster would be a misanthrope too.
Thanks for your slanderous and inaccurate assessment.
Of course someone who confuses the use of a technology with the technology itself would also confuse an observation with judgment.
You’re the one who was reminded of the rot and failure of NFTs and decided to say “nuh-uh, actually people are bad instead.” You’re a misanthrope.
It’s your job to prove these things are actually worth keeping around at all.
Dude, USA affects all of the world already in a very significant way. Western world especially. While the decay of American imperialism is something a lot of us would like to see, it will, in the short term affect everyone negatively. The USA will not go out without a fight. Already, people across the world suffer because of it. It is precisely because of the USA and their economy. Economy, which is undoubtedly, by their own accounts, dominated by the AI tech industry. So, although indirectly, people outside the USA are negatively impacted by the AI. Not to mention direct impact it has (military literally being driven by AI).
Only one disagreement: you’re confusing the technology with it’s use.
A gun isn’t a blindfolded execution
A car isn’t a vehicular manslaughter.
A pool of water isn’t a homicidal drowning.
AI is not what you just described.
So AI is whatever makes you right and me wrong, basically? Of course the ones responsible are the people building products based on AI. Nobody is arguing LLMs themselves are evil. What I’m talking about are massive datacenters built overly fast so that they need to use evaporative cooling and micro-turbines is an utterly irresponsible use of that technology. It’s like rushing to build a faster car than China and so you don’t install brakes and your cars start killing everyone on the streets. Of course a car isn’t evil, it’s the people irresponsibly designing them. AI tech is constantly doing propaganda fear mongering that if you don’t use their product RIGHT NOW - you’re getting left behind. If you don’t integrate them in your business RIGHT NOW, you’re gonna get overrun by competition. And the product is not nearly as reliable as they push it and not nearly as powerful as they claim. It’s a universal tool that is inefficient at any specific, specialized task. In fact, it’s painfully INEFFICIENT. But you and I wouldn’t know it, because nobody is publishing exactly how much it costs to run and how much they are subsidizing the use of it. The technology is useful, even revolutionary, but the way it’s overwhelmingly being used right now is bullshit. This way is not sustainable, not profitable and will end up costing the entire world. That’s what’s gonna happen. The technology will stick and people will find best uses for it and start paying attention about its use. But I doubt it will survive in this current form.
Nobody uses Bitcoin lol, it’s a speculative asset now, not a cryptocurrency. You’re an idiot if you use it.
Appreciate the ignorant ad hominems. You represent Lemmy very well.
I’m sure he’ll make gobs of money off of it, as contradictory as the fan base is they will fill the theaters
Which he would get exactly $0 from since he has no ownership of Star Wars anymore.
Anyone who saw the Special Editions and expected anything else deserves to be unpleasantly surprised right now
The guy that essentially added lasers to Japanese movies and somehow became a multi-billionaire is a fan of stealing other’s work with minimal effort and reusing it without permission?
I’m shocked. Shocked I say.
I mean, to be fair to the 70s version of Lucas, that’s basically how all art works. New combinations of old ideas.
To an extent, sure. All the great painters started off as art thieves or apprentices creating duplicates of existing art pieces, etc.
But like AI, Lucas quite arbitrarily mashed together ideas, whole plots, visuals, and even editing styles of stuff he liked and got quite lucky that the main audience he attracted had little interest in any of the disparate parts he stole. Don’t get me wrong, like AI, he made something kinda neat that if you’re not very media saturated you might like; but also like AI you’ll always feel as if something’s… off. Like you can tell the pieces don’t really go together. Like it’s the facsimile of itself. Like it’s what would come out if you tried to describe it to someone.
Generally Art uses themes, minor parts, heavily practiced individual strokes. It is not a jigsaw.
Who cares. He has zero talent, and his movies are childish…
