Probably helps if you're in the mood to chase a nostalgic moment of awe. Hayden Chrisiansen's brand of melodrama is formative to me and teleportation is by far the coolest superpower. Him and Rachel Bilson have some charming chemistry. Jamie Bell makes a good antihero. Sam L Jackson is just intimidating enough as the main villain. My favorite aspect is probably how Hayden's backstory is that once he learned how to teleport, he just tried to live the rest of his life in luxury by using the power to rob banks. That's baller and relatable.

Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours? I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy. Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.

Maybe this isn’t so much a fix for staff, but I feel like the reposting of things has gotten a bit lame. I don’t want the ā€œEveryoneā€ feed to be the same post 20 times with nothing added, especially when the thing being re-rec’d isn’t even a real reccomendation in the first place. I like this app because it is different than Instagram and Twitter and tumblr and the like. I feel like people are trying to interact similarly to those other apps here. I feel like we are all drifting back into creating the same social media AGAIN. My vote would be to remove the feature entirely, but I see how it can be used thoughtfully
