This week’s film selectiion is a technical masterpiece, made in RDR2. It is both an homage to the game and the film. John Wick’s Red Dead Redemption is made by eli_handle_b.wav, and is worth every second of your time watching it!

This is not genSLOP… or is it?! This week’s discussion focusses on a recent genAI meme, vlogging from the Fall of the Empire as a Stormtrooper tourist. The series we take a look at is by Galactic Archives, which has garnered a phenomenal number of views in just a couple of weeks. Its quite different to The Glurons we discussed a couple of months back by NeuralViz, which remains a standout for us. There are some excellent learning points from the way this short / series has been created as a narrative arc though, despite the creative process and generative tools leaving something a little unsavoury in the reactor core.
