AOC: Okay, let me go with the worst time one made me cry. I was on an airplane watching… what is that movie? The one about aliens with a linguist? Arrival. With Amy Adams.

positive · AI labelView post →A gift for @alfiggy.bsky.social modeled after the symbol for “time is not linear” from the movie Arrival I made the pattern myself for this one #CrossStitch #Arrival

positive · AI labelView post →Hey, come here. Need to tell you all something: Arrival is a really good movie. Thank you for your time.
positive · AI labelView post →Did you know that attention across the whole input span was inspired by the time-negating alien language in Arrival? Crazy anecdote from the latest Hard Fork podcast (by @kevinroose.com and @caseynewton.bsky.social). HT nwbrownboi on Threads for the lead.

neutral · AI labelView post →Arrival is a film that hits me harder, and impresses me more, each time I watch it. I just think it’s a wonderful, remarkable achievement. *And yes, I’ve read Ted Chiang’s short story, and that is equally as amazing. If you haven’t read his collection ‘Exhalation’ - do so.

neutral · AI labelView post →If they released a film that looked like this today, audiences just wouldn't be able to handle it. They'd react like they did when watching The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station in the 1890s, full panic, screaming, crying, begging for desaturation
