When asked about the proposal during the press conference, Crabtree-Ireland said that “This ‘groundbreaking’ AI proposal that they gave us yesterday, they proposed that our background performers should be able to be scanned, get one day’s pay, and their companies should own that scan, their image, their likeness and should be able to use it for the rest of eternity on any project they want, with no consent and no compensation. So if you think that’s a groundbreaking proposal, I suggest you think again.”

The Hozier 'fans' that thinks he's just a bog man that sings about white romance is the reason I'll always advocate for compulsory English

#they really listened to a teaser about cannibalism and thought 'sexy'#when it's a metaphor for capitalism and this dystopian-esque society we live in #let's not forget the disservice to Nina Cried Power either #rambles #hozier #eat your young

The "The Axe Forgets" when Syril Karn is looking out of his window on Coruscant, he looks directly at the sun. He doesn't turn away until the sun has moved behind another building. It is clearly a short time where a gap in the buildings allow him to see the sun, and it reminds me of one of the things I have always found the most interesting (and devastating) about Coruscant:

Direct sunlight is a privilege

Only the wealthy, powerful, and privileged get to see the sun, the sky, the horizon, anything other than the next building next to them.

And Syril doesn't even appear to be that low, compared to some of the people we meet in The Clone Wars.

The supposed apex of civilization, and not only do you never see nature, but you never even see natural light. Life is shadows and the hum of artificial lights.

This should be remembered every time we meet a character on Coruscant other than a Jedi or a Senator. They are desperate to just see the sun.

#andor #coruscant #coruscant is a dystopian nightmare #no sympathy for Syril #He's obviously a dick #But this is the first time I have seen this implied feature of the galactic capital addressed #they don't even get to see the sun

In Breaking Bad, the fact that "Jesse's lack of ambition and disdain for authority figures was not a character flaw, and in fact those traits were what ended up saving his life/soul" still went over some of the audience's head. So his character arc in Westworld is basically the same character arc - minus the subtlety.

The fact that we even have to specify "do not sell my personal information " is an absolutely buckwild concept when you stop to think about it

#do the people who write/edit/publish/approve these articles not hear how insanely dystopian this sounds...#capitalism #reminder this is not a free market #in fact the USA is only rated around the 25th least govt regulated market #and isn't it convenient #how it's the ultrawealthy corporate lobbying groups who are able to influence much of what regulations the USA DOES have 🙄#groups like ALEC that are comically evil - like straight up cartoon villains #Cruella de Vil irl type shit #and they just WRITE LAWS that will make them richer at the expensive of all the rest #and essentially legally bribe the actual so-called lawmakers to push their bills through #that isn't democracy... obviously #turns out the invisible hand is just a giant goddamn middle finger. shocking.#capitalism as a theoretical concept relies on the idea that transactions will be entirely or at least predominantly voluntary #and that both parties in the transaction will act out of self interest #but somehow everyone making transactions out of pure self interest and nothing more #ends up working to the benefit of society on the whole #which doesn't really hold water to begin with but gets even more laughable when you take into account that #it falls apart at stage 1 when you realize transactions can't be truly voluntary if #one party is struggling for survival and the other just wants a 7th yacht

This is Shooting Range, a dystopian short film made in the Soviet Union in 1979. It’s about an American man who takes a job as a living target at a shooting range, unlike right wing dystopias like 1984 or The Giver, he isn’t controlled through crass brainwashing, the ruling class doesn’t care what he thinks; instead he is compelled to voluntarily submit himself to the whims of the capitalists, because otherwise he won’t have food for his family to eat or a place to live.

TFW you realize the world has always been dystopian. Unsafe, full of greed and violence. Dystopian movies and books aren't about the future. They're about what is and always has been.
