Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
SAM ALTMAN: “WE SEE A FUTURE WHERE INTELLIGENCE IS A UTILITY, LIKE ELECTRICITY OR WATER, AND PEOPLE BUY IT FROM US ON A METER.”
@LukeBarnett i know who you're specifically referencing and what's additionally interesting is mapping the venn diagram overlap between ex-church video guys who couldn't cut it in the "real world" (because they didn't realize they were being artificially propped up) and the aye eye film bros
noticing a very marked move towards "this is my opinion and it is the right one you dumbasses" tonality, especially in the film adjacent creator space. like - nothing is a question, it's always an ANSWER. not judging, just observing... *shoulder shrug*
anyone at DIFF this weekend? i'm screening my debut feature, STAGES (for the second time) after a lovely SXSW premiere. If you are in Dallas, would love to see you tomorrow! a film about trying to figure out how to make a life in music. diffdallas2026.eventive.org/schedule/stage…
to top it all off, STAGES won the "Best of Texas" award. A beautiful nod from the hometown before we take this baby out into the wider world. Next stop, DIFF, then we're off to the races. Thank you SXSW and my wonderful cast and crew. Sharing a film is scary, but worthwhile work
Well, SXSW was a hell of a week. 5 screenings, 7 near sleepless nights, and an emotional rollercoaster that I won't soon forget. So many friends and colleagues who showed up. So many layers. Leslie Grace is a movie star. David Ramirez is the most vulnerable artist I know.
@tonytost went to a DGA Q&A with Denis for Dune2 and the moderator opined, "how does it feel to know that you made a masterpiece?" Denis demurred and spoke about how all he sees are the flaws, the missed takes, the adjustments he should have made. His response, "I'll do better next time"
@imPatrickT @EATCR0W this part. the analysis is for later, for *why* a thing feels the way it feels. so much of the *making* part is "this feels right, this feels wrong" or "i like that" over and over again until you discover later the "why" of it all.
Less than a week until STAGES, my debut feature, premieres at SXSW. I've spent so many years working that festival on the music side, cam op'ing, DP'ing, and eventually directing live performance sessions. I'm incredibly excited to share this film there. schedule.sxsw.com/films/2253651
@bronsnnn It's premiering at SXSW next week! schedule.sxsw.com/2026/films/225…
Sentimental Value was my favorite film of the year. Like reading a novel. So dense, so complex, yet so light on its feet. A truly masterful piece of filmmaking.
this. filmmaking is collision with things outside of your control. the end.
I have such a hard time imagining ever being infatuated with A.I. as a writer, filmmaker, or viewer. Most of the magic is the alchemy that occurs when an authorial vision mingles with the needs & contingencies of other people, of material reality, of the medium, & of time itself.
@aishamadeit so sorry to hear that. have a big dead in the water campaign that i directed this year that is a real heartbreaker. def a part of the business that really, really sucks.
@JosephKahn Devil Wears Prada is in my top 5.
the big short guy is tweeting. defcon 3/4, i'd say...
Sometimes, we see bubbles. Sometimes, there is something to do about it. Sometimes, the only winning move is not to play.
@axknickerbocker @ScottJeschke uh, that is one of my favorite films! will only continue ascending to its rightful place over the years...
@imPatrickT @RealGDT @TIFF_NET @FrankensteinGDT headed to the DGA screening in new york. looking forward to GDT's Q&A :) :) f
