Badly needed at this moment.
AI slop swamping the net.
I love when the AI Slop Bros come out with another one of these slop sequences bc it proves they don't actually know any of the art of filmmaking. This is a visually incoherent nightmare and no self-respecting human filmmaker would ever let this leave the editing room like this https://t.co/NSUiW6hb1p

“If we can be the most mature version of ourselves.”
Umm, how often does that happen? Optimism because it’s the happiest solution isn’t maturity – it’s wishful thinking, at best.
Currently listening to “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies” by Yudkowsky.
12 days after releasing a major upgrade to Claude, Anthropic today released ANOTHER major upgrade:

The software industry is facing imminent havoc.
Also, Hegseth is threatening Anthropic because they are refusing to remove safeguards for U.S. military use:

As an avid SF reader for over 50 years, I’ve encountered renditions of every apocalyptic or horrifying scenario fiction writers can dream up, including sociopathic or murderous AIs, like Colossus, Hal 9000, Skynet, smart robots, and so forth. However, growing up under the nuclear threat of the Cold War, there were a lot more scenarios involving human screwups triggering Global Thermonuclear War just based on tribal ape behaviors (I’m looking at you, General Ripper).
I’d like to re-align the popular perspective on the dangers of AI by pointing out that their scariest behaviors are already encapsulated by what humans do to each other, from the Holocaust and the Khmer Rouge and the Rwandan genocide to bog-standard dictators running torture prisons, or even just the sociopathy of for-profit corporations externalizing the ecological and humanitarian costs of their operations.
Regarding the action movie: What this AI produced is just as unrealistic and stupid an action movie as I’ve seen lots of human writer and directors make.
