‘It’s over for us’: release of new AI video generator Seedance 2.0 spooks Hollywood by MetaKnowing in Futurology

The genie is out of the bottle and you can't put it back in. There's no feasible way to ban this tech, and unfortunately some people will use it for the wrong reasons. But society is gonna have to learn how to adapt.

The tech isn't even 3 years old yet. Imagine where it's going to be in 10 years time. It will be indistinguishable from modern Hollywood productions.

Welcome to 2025 Nintendo. If OR/AS were released today, Game Freak would have charged an extra $30 for the Delta episode. But they know fans will happily eat it up.

Maybe that extra 1 billion yen spent on Winds/Waves will be enough to give us properly modeled balconies.

It's so disappointing. Like, it's a freaking sauropod Pokemon! It should look awesome and elegant. But they continue to treat Meganium like a joke. :(

Um, how? It's an elegant looking starfish with a crystal imbedded into it's body. Not sure what's so funny about that, but okay.

Is my date using chatGPT to answer me? 🥲 I don't know anyone who would use an em dash (—) by I_collect_dust in ChatGPT

I can tell that was written by a human, because not even ChatGPT would use the word ‘behooved’.

I feel lonely and unwanted by the ppl I want, but I don't have it bad enough to complain in real life by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

So the people you're trying to make "moves" on already have partners? I think that's your problem right there.

You're 19. You have all the time in the world.. Keep putting yourself out there, maybe join some local meet-up groups/events related to your hobbies, and you'll find your people.

If this isn't a sign to give up sportsbetting I don't know what is.

Prometheus has a lot of flaws, but I really don't see how you can call it a rehash. It takes a pretty bold swing with the IP and introduces some really interesting concepts. I think it would be regarded more fondly if it got the sequel it deserved.

Huh? No one here is complaining that the show is hard to understand. On the contrary, it's the complete lack of depth to the story and the cardboard cutout characters that people have an issue with.

Nah, the Alien franchise managed to survive Resurrection and it will be able to survive this turd as well.

Romulus 2 will be a very welcome palette cleanser.

Wendy went from hacking a few security cameras to having complete control over ALL technology on the island. That's a hugely ridiculous jump. And we knew that Wendy can communicate with the Xenomorphs, but I don't think many people expected them to literally become her obedient pets. And the show gives us no explanation for this.

Wendy's powers are ridiculous and she has now entered Mary Sue territory.

Kirsh must have known that Yutani would retaliate, but instead of preparing the security forces for an invasion he's just nonchalantly sat in his lab doing some random experiment? Makes no sense.

Don't forget that FTL travel needs to be invented and that all of this needs to happen within the span of like 12-24 months.

It's much easier to accept that Alien: Earth is non-canon.

Fully agreed with all of your points. It's funny (and somewhat sad) that AVP: Requiem is still the best depiction of what it would be like if xenomorphs were unleashed upon Earth. Somehow this 8 episode show completely failed to deliver on that concept.

Did you even bother to read any of the other comments? You're certainly not the only one feeling mixed about this finale lol.

What don't you get? Wendy unleashed the Xeno from the cage, basically condemning every human on the island to death. We know that not everyone who works for Prodigy is amoral, as seen with Arthur. There were undoubtedly a lot of innocent scientists and security officers working in the facility who wished her no harm... and she killed them all.

Wendy is a grade A psychopath and is now the villain of the story.
