[whispering to date while watching Neil Blomkamp's latest slop movie when slop first appears on the screen] That's slop

Blomkamp IS a great filmmaker, but to see him strongarmed into this bullshit is going to be a huge red flag for multiple reasons.

It’s actively stealing from creatives, making people dumber, driving up the price of technology and helping kill the planet, my guy.

Seems that's exactly what everyone in these comments is saying they're gonna do, so ... ?

If it would just stop stealing everyone's art, poisoning neighborhoods, and burning the planet, I'll do that. Until then I think I'm a smidge entitled to tell it to fuck off whenever I see it.

I want Gen AI to cease to exist entirely so reacting with maximum vitriol is the only correct response because then maybe the next loser who thinks about doing something like this remembers how everyone hated it when the last loser did it and then maybe just doesn't.

That would be the correct course of action if it was simply a movie that has content you find offensive, but not about using a technology that is harmful from end to everyone except the stakeholders. We have a moral obligation to advocate against a job-killing work-stealing energy-wasting monster.

I mean consumer computer hardware prices alone are enough to riot over.

Hard pass. Fuck this and frankly fuck him.

Sounds shit

Well, at least we’ve found a director we don’t need.

"OH SHIT well i think she's going to make it so that's good" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wbt...

More proof that District 9 was lightning in a bottle. Maybe next time try an AI Director. 🤖 🎥

I prefer ‘cuntent’.

What a slap in the face to the entertainment industry, the arts, and the fans.

Just unwatchable uncanny valley boredom.

That sucks. I used to like his work, but I can't abide plagiarism.

hope he can find some bots to watch it

What a fucking let down.

I’m not shocked, I’m just disappointed.

Oh, come on, Neill, You Too?

Should be taken down for use of stolen assets.

The amazing thing to me is how these guys spend so much time looking at fake stuff they forget what the real world looks like, release something everyone else can tell instantly is AI, and are bewildered at the backlash.

I mean he used CGI with real actors who got paid. So what?

Suddenly I don't feel so bad about that canceled Alien movie anymore, or the canceled Halo movie for that matter

Stop trusting white South Africans

Canceled beyond any hope of reprieve.

Ugh, nooooo

[Typing on Bluesky while watching the AI movie when AI comes on the screen] “That’s AI”.

He would be the last person I would think to do this shit. so disappointing

Yes Good

What a pathetic loser

A generational let down of a filmmaker

Well that's depressing. I hope he was paid a sufficient amount of millions by whatever AI company to be worth it for him to end his career.

this sucks but given what happened to him i do kind of get why he did this

Ai is fucking gross

Ew. Really Neill? Really?

I guess I clung to Blomkamp because of how much I loved District 9 but I'm done now. At least we got Sharlto Copely out of it.

Now "Chappie" looks like a masterpiece, huh?;)

I don't remember. I saw it posted last year during the initial outrage of art theft where everything we had ever posted online would be scrapped and used against us.

I made it 5 seconds in - London wouldn't have a traffic lane on the right, a traffic light is showing red and green at the same time, and a cyclist completely vanishes in the middle of a junction... Tried again - the military part feels like a below average Call of Duty cut scene.

Ohh well guess I pretend he retired after District 9 and Chappie...

Yeah, people in this thread are winning every single day with their Luddite politics. Ai keeps regressing in capability, importance, and investiments. Oh no, actually, it is the exact opposite, and you all just look increasingly silly.

That looks like every other AI "movie". Same problems. Just because Blomkamp prompted it (not directed, not made... prompted) doesn't mean it's not slop.

Just no no no

Holy god, this shit is embarrassing. I can't believe they thought this was ready for release. The myriad uncaught mistakes/hallucinations and Tommy Wiseau level continuity errors should have been ironed out before this ever saw the light of day. Had to repost to add the obvious: fuck AI and LLMs

He deserves it all and more.

Yeah. It's a "FUCK no!" for me, dawg...

that's not chappie

This is doubly frustrating because he’s already shown us he CAN make art, and now he is CHOOSING to generate images instead. Embarrassing, honestly.

I tried watching it and couldn't make it past a minute at a time, and I skimmed through it. Bad uncommitted sounding voices, unfocused, like the cutscene of a shitty video game.

Valuable resources we're wasted for this..

Good.

Good to know I can safely discard his work going forward.

From hero to pathetic zero.

Honestly, it looked terrible.

Seeing directors use the plagiarism machine just flat out sucks

Director of Crappie

As well he should.

He should face a front lash

when are they gonna learn? we don’t want this crap.

Because it's shit.

I'm thankful for Chris "how real of an atomic blast can we make" Nolan

Shits trash

Credit to @twonks.bsky.social

Neill can fuck off.

looks like shit, from an ass

neill slopkamp

damn my respect for him just went poof

Haha screw him

Looks like shit.

As he fucking should.

Mitch is looking a little better.

Good, fuck him.

As well he should.

Damn…

Somehow I must find a way to have negative feelings about an afrikaaner

That is very unfortunate to see that he did that.

Disappointing. I really liked the short series his studio did.

Down with the Machines!!

I can't believe I was a fan of this guy.

I mean, on top of the fundamental lack of credit in the model itself, of course.

my understanding is that they fed the model with performances but did not directly act their lines.

It sounds like while there were concept art and actor voice and likeness modeling on the front end, the whole thing was generated end to end via prompt.
