I made it my New Year's resolution to resume work on, and ultimately complete, my next novel — a horror mystery with a dark aquatic edge, BELOW US. #WritingCommunity

I won't give too much away now, but here's a few images to help set the mood...
On the contrary, I'm tired of seeing characters that look like squishy cutesy Play-Doh models with big googly eyes tailor-made to be toys. So designs like Wildwood, Rango, etc are incredibly refreshing to me

This is a testament to the hopelessness of generative AI based on human training data to be creative.
This is a statistical hologram of every version of the Odyssey Elon could steal. This is the midpoint of all the junk related to the story in its training data—every crappy Youtube video, B-movie, and school play, all mushed together.
Everything you see from these things is mathematically mid. It has no understanding of what it’s depicting. It’s just illuminating our own exhaust. Nothing is being created.
It’s like the first time humans saw movies—of a train coming into a station. They thought a real train was coming through the screen and ran away.
That’s what’s happening with AI. Once you see slop for what it is, you will never be afraid of it again.
Watch Episode 1 of our Odyssey series made with Grok Imagine.
Let us know in the comments if you'd like a full breakdown of how it was done!
Creative collaboration with @WonderStudiosX and director Dev Walker @glumlot_

"We want GOOD original movies"
Wildwood is one of the best animated films of the decade
"There wasn't any marketing"
Had more views than doomsday
just admit that you guys are filled with excuses and only want to be performative when it comes to supporting original films
#Whalefall is getting done dirty at the box office. If you're willing to suspend your disbelief it's actually quite a freaky, visceral, and sometimes thoughtful thriller. The sentimentality gets too sappy at the end, but the whole package is a good time. 7/10

Buddy is such an interesting film because when watching the film it’s genuinely a really good film with really decent horror beats and dark comedy
But when you watch clips it’s just another “childhood thing but scary” with a lot of childish and cringey dialogue 😭

Things that I have, unfortunately learned WELL against my will about at least half the horror community:
1. None of y’all would ever bat an eye at Regan from The Exorcist (a child who had her autonomy stripped from her), Carrie (a victim of literal abuse and torment both from her mother and classmates), Jason (once a CHILD victim who died tragically), any deadites from The Evil Dead franchise, to name a few, being added, but yall draw the line at Nikki for some reason.
2. Obsession was clearly baby’s first horror movie for too many of yall, because why are we acting like Nikki is the first SA survivor to become a horror icon?
3. Y’all need everything SPOON fed to you because, why are we also having discourse on whether or not Freddy Krueger was a child molestor?
4. It’s okay for Freddy to be a child predator, but when The Grabber comes into the conversation, it’s pearl clutching time
5. Not a single one of you actually cares that the LITERAL CAST AND CREW LOVE SEEING HER ADDED
6. Too many of you care more about a literal FICTIONAL character than yall do about real life SA survivors telling you it’s actually more offensive that you only see Nikki as what happened to her.
7. You ALL need to touch grass yesterday!
YouTube has screwed me and freaked me out so many times I get a nauseous jolt in my stomach every time I see a notification. Blegh
AI-generating your point does not make your point any more valid. In fact, I'd daresay it does the opposite.
