Yeah, reading the article paints a more complex story than I had been reading on here since his death. The police had come out to their house “four dozen times” before, barbequing in the living room on the day of the house fire, allegedly showing up at his neighbor’s house with a crossbow before the police removed it from the home.
It’s a tragic situation, regardless of whatever details ultimately come out, but I think it’s probably best to let the investigation and courts sort out this mess.
Seriously, lol. Whenever you hear interviews by actors talking about their heavily costumed roles, they talk about it like it’s war trauma. I bet this dude was having a bad day.
Also, I always laugh when I see costumes that can’t bend at the neck and have to turn like this. Reminds me of Batman.
I can hear it
A lot of people aren’t familiar with his early work.
Do it for them.
It’s a terrible day for rain.
The captain found a nice sunbeam and took a casual 14 hour nap.
Those old cartoons really didn’t hold back, huh?
The boy?
I don’t imagine quitting the internet, but I can picture the internet fracturing into smaller sites with resistance to AI through obscurity - sort of similar to how we DO get occasional spam bots on Lemmy, but it largely isn’t worth bad actors’ time to target this platform.
Either that, or larger platforms with some sort of verification process, but that seems like a losing battle in the long run.
A couple of comments are suggesting that, but I remember this scene and just assumed it was a weird still from the movie.
I’m confused why someone would’ve recreated it, or modified part of it with AI, but it’s possible.
That’s how I’ve always interpreted it too.
I do envy their ability to take such big risks though (often because they have money to fall back on, I assume).
I’ve never been in a position to take a risk like that without jeopardizing my (and now my family’s) future.
It’s not something that’s unique to tech, but I read it as a joke about enshittification due to greed.
Lots of start-up companies start out all idealistic and positive, then don’t stay true to that mission as the founders age and want more (or sell out to a bigger company).
Sometimes I forget how long it’s been!
