The best part about this event was the new Wonka lore of The Unknown, an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls
Doesn’t sound much worse than the Avengers experience that came to my city. It was like $30 for a 10 minute walkabout of a big room with the avenger costumes and a bunch of costumes, I felt ripped off
I get the feeling that most of these "experience’ things I’ve been hearing about lately are low effort cash grabs.
The Harry Potter one back in the day that I think gave these a kickstart was honestly comparable to most museums I’ve been to, tho obviously smaller and not as interesting, they did have the actual props and costumes there from filming tho which was dope.
I look forward to more AI failures and flops and hope the public and financial backlash is intense for each every one of them. You cannot automate human creativity, and until the powers that be feel that in their wallets, we’re going to be getting more and more of this inane drivel while actual, talented writers lose job opportunities.
The company has since promised to refund customers, but whether they’ll all actually get their money back remains to be seen.
I’d be demanding it in full.
Problem is, even when we get over this shit and hire the “creatives” back, they won’t be getting the same wages.
And a lot of the money that could go to the artists is going to go to these silicone valley pricks, too. Never think for a second the people making AI like this don’t appreciate what they’re doing. This shit is custom built to steal the livelihood from artists and put it directly into their own pockets.
You’re coming from a very selfish perspective, it’s just capitalism rotting your brain.
Ai is being designed to help solve problems that affect billions of people, it’s already able to do amazing things that greatly improve people’s lives in many ways. You’re ignoring all of that and discounting it simply because you’re only worried about your own selfish interests, and you’re ignoring the benefit it could have on your life simply because you fear change.
Being able to get explanations of things in your own language and ask questions is huge for people from underdeveloped regions of the world, especially for subjects like coding where documentation is always terse, technical, and always in English. Though I’ve already used it myself to help understand a German project, also projects written in coding languages I haven’t studied - and wow is it useful for languages I do know well, it’s increased my productivity hugely on my open source project. being able to do things like drop in a choice block and say ‘put these elements in a sizer’ saves so much time, dropping a line in and saying ‘what are the options for formating this?’ and it gives me direct and comprehensive answers - that could have been half an hour in the documentation.
Of course I make open source software to help give people the tools they need to live better lives, for me the more I can create the more tools I and everyone have to improve our lives - I’m trying to move towards a better world where people don’t need to beg corporations for scraps by performing doggie tricks for them, you want to keep rolling over and eagerly giving you creativity to advertising agencies and corporate owned movie studios so they can sell more shit to the masses. Stop figuring to protect capitalism it doesn’t give a shit about you.
I know people don’t read articles, but at least scroll down to the picture of “an Oompa Loompa running a meth lab”
The look in that poor girls eyes
Speaking to MailOnline, she confirmed that not only had she not been paid she also hadn’t been briefed on what her role would involve. She explained: ‘I was angry at the time because I felt like this is embarrassing for me, and I felt bad for the people coming in as well. I actually ended up shouting at the guy. I just said to him he’s a joke and this is like embarrassing, and how can we basically live with himself, doing this to people. This is really embarrassing for me. My job is teaching kids yoga and I go into schools and stuff and I do kids’ entertainment. This is none of our faults at all. We got the job and then we got given the script. By that point I’d signed a contract and they said they were going to put us £500 for the two days which is a lot of money which is a lot of money to say no to.’
lmao
The most ridiculous part of this story is the workers showed up, saw what it looked like, and just went to work…
Like, just lock the doors and go back home. Nothing good will come of trying to pull it off, and there’s no way you’re getting paid
Not everyone can just snub their boss and say no this is not up to my standards. Not when you need to secure a paycheck so you can make at least part of your rent
there’s no way you’re getting paid
