@stux to be fair that's probably incorrect. I would guess that there's a nucleus of Warner Brothers (and other) corporate executives hoping that this remake will put enough shine back into the Rowling brand that they can squeeze another couple of decades of money from it. I wouldn't be surprised if "a new generation of children" has been invoked in corporate boardrooms, as the purported beneficiaries of flogging Harry Potter back into service for a new TV show.

@alina I would like to try that stuff again. I feel as if I've only had one really fair crack at the stuff and my other experience was under strained bad circumstances...long story. but there's other 2C compounds that look both synthetically achievable and possibly good for psychonautica...

@amosmulder Is @Blender's software even all that good? One can only hope that there are, in fact, alternatives in the works—from what I've seen so far anyway the Blender "user experience" is a deeply unpleasant one, so the knowledge that Blender's also been sopping up lots of technofascist cash suggests to me the crying need to abandon Blender altogether. Now that's a long-term sort of answer; it takes time to make software as complex as Blender. But holy heck...it would be nice if there were something else out there. Almost anything else!

@amosmulder Oh, and let me point out something obvious: shitty @Blender UX is, from the perspective of the "generative AI" slop juggernaut, a golden opportunity. "Generative AI" starts to look like an awfully tempting shortcut solution to shitty software which people don't want to abandon for business reasons. #Blender and indeed almost all complex corporate #software is a nightmare for the unsophisticated user—in steps the slop machine, offering the user the tempting choice of not caring that the software is overcomplicated bloatware because now an "agent" is handling it.

@Ricardus is it rare to refer to Bobby Fischer? I suppose there's a lot of chessic folks who would prefer to forget him
