    I think this is code for “True to the art of the white race.”

    There’s literally terminally online people mad that the Odyssey just… isn’t that.

    Making an AI generated movie at the end of this year is billionaire equivalent of giving treats to your sickly pet before the euthanization.

    In addition to the obvious, wasn’t Homer not a person? I feel like I heard that it was more of a legend people collected stories under. May have that mixed up with something else though.

      Sorta kinda. There might have been a poet we know as Homer, but the consensus is he did not “write” the trojan war poems (we only have two out of the eight - illiad and Odyssey). People have been arguing about this before any of us were born

    In just two years, the premiere will be held at a big party at my cool (not weird) house on mars. The guests will all be real robots that do cool (not weird) dances to thank me for throwing the wildest parties. The AI actors will all have my normal and very regular speaking cadence, comic timing and cool (not weird) body shape. Anyone who isn’t a robot but wants to attend will have to get pregnant by me, and from that point forward we will only communicate through filed lawsuits.

    When you really want to misunderstand what historically accurate in the context of Homer’s Odyssey means.

    Aren’t there a bazillion adaptions that only have white English actors already. And of course they didn’t care when non-Mediterraneans whites were given roles to play people from the Mediterranean. Like where was the outrage when fucking Gerald Butler played Leonidas with a Scottish accent.

      “Who are you getting to play a Greek guy from a small island spitting distance from Egypt?”

      “After reviewing the candidates, we settled on the most stereotypical Boston Irishman under 60”

      I guess they didn’t go with a Skarsgård, which shows some restraint.

    One of the most historically-accurate period movies I’ve ever seen is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

    “'ow do you know he’s a king?”

    “He hasn’t got shit all over 'im!”

    Even the mythology of The Iliad and the Odyssey doesn’t match up because at the time it is meant to be set, Aphrodite wasn’t worshipped, yet she basically sparked off the Trojan War in the myth.

    How about a shitty pocket FM version of Elon Musk’s stupid life starring Erin Page as the man child?

    I’d laugh at the commercials for that. All that pocket FM is good for. Or Elon Musk.

      There’s much speculation that Musk’s companies tend to work best when he sticks to attracting attention to them (which he actually does quite well, I guess) but he keeps his nose out of their technicals and business.

      And… well, he attracts attention by doing controversial stuff on Twitter.

      Being the biggest troll possible is literally his job.

    Chronic internet dwellers doing nothing impactful with their lives try and dog on the man doing perhaps the most impactful moves for humanity as a whole in the modern age, simply because they don’t agree with his pretty normal political views that align with what most people with real lives also have (see who’s currently the US president who also won the popular vote): part #571

    Surely there will also be tears dropped on BlueCry as they all drive home in their Teslas and tune in to the next SpaceX rocket launch, witnessing a live piece of history that future generations will applaud

            Like these arguments you guys present to me are the most pathetic disingenuous arguments imagineable lmfao, do you truly think points like this hold any actual value

            Have you never comprehended the absolute basics of user-generated content and how the website owners are not responsible for their user’s own actions, practically every website you interact with has a checkbox you agree to on signup which specifies precisely this

            I guess all other companies that distribute AI models designed for other use cases but whereby this is possible by nature of the very technology itself are guilty of this too, and if you decided to write 10 names in your next comment and murder them all next week that’s Lemmy’s fault for providing the platform too, and if someone on Neocities makes a website of <insert anything bad or against the law here> that’s Neocities fault for providing the technology too, and if you bought some pencils and stabbed some dude with it that’s the pencil companies fault for making them too sharp, and if someone said a slur in a LittleBigPlanet level once at the age of 11 that was totally Media Molecule’s fault for allowing voice recordings too XD

            Utter dumbassery of the highest caliber, cannot imagine being so lost to believe the dude made Grok for that and not the 99.9999% of normal daily use cases millions of people actually use it for on X (AKA the use cases people pay for it for and of which he overwhelmingly profits from hellooooo)

            OpenAI must have made ChatGPT primarily for a sex chatbot too ofc lmao, good lord get a grip

                Do you remember my comment from less than an hour ago?

                Apparently not since you’ve strangely failed to respond the entire point I made in it… ah but surely that was just an accident and not because you can’t address it or something right?

                I’ll give you another chance now, but do be sure to also explain to me why I should bother acknowledging or responding to your further points until you respond to mine, I’m looking forward to the banger argument you’ll come up with

                Unfortunately for you I’m a functional adult pal these childish ignore tactics ain’t gonna work in a debate with me, happy to accept your forfeit though if you’re truly incapable of answering back properly without any idea on what to say

                  you totally aren’t mad. very functional adult

                  What debate are we having exactly? My expressed position is that Elon Musk will not have sex with you, no matter how much time you spend glazing him online. Do you have a counter to that position? Are we going to accomplish some Hegelian dialectic shit and come to a middle position? Perhaps Musk will allow you to suck his cock, since you are so eager for it.

        Does it ever get tiring permanently living in lala land with your fellow fantasy-goers

        I feel like it can’t be healthy to be detached from reality this heavily, perhaps consider stepping outside these bubbles once in a while or talking to normal people IRL
