The irony of it all is how fucking reactionary so many professors are.

I had an existential crisis watching A.I. For the first time. How everything we do and say and are can be reduced to programming: “I’ll break…you’ll break…we’re in a cage.”
Thinking alongside Roland here, I continue to think an application of genre theory--with its emphasis on recycling tropes--to AI would be immensely useful. Someone with a better grasp of its mechanics want to coauthor "A Genre Approach to GenAI" with me?
There's also something very queasy about the aesthetics of the film. The mixture of CGI and practical effects, plus the extremely melodramatic lighting made me feel consistently uneasy and unmoored.
It was sheer magic to collaborate w/ Kelly Gallagher on this anarchic feminist video--from last night's festivities celebrating DAISIES (1966) at the NYC Czech Center! In anticipation of a @jcmsjournal.bsky.social dossier edited by @tanyagoldman.bsky.social & Masha Shpolberg 🎂🎞️

Saw A.I. last night. There's lots to say about Spielberg's own ambivalence towards his legacy, the commodification of sentiment, and the impermanence of innocence. But to me, the most notable thing about the film is how gross I felt watching it. I had a bad, bad time and that's interesting!
It's definitely got something to do with the way he self-reflexively combines extreme cynicism with extreme schmaltz. It made me feel both revolted and weepy at the same time!
