Mine was that a girl came up to me and gave me her phone number and said “Call me if you’re ever doing anything.” I said “Cool, I will.” but then proceeded to be me, who’s never doing anything.

I heard it more like, the fact that our universe is expanding faster than light, means there are parts of the universe we can never reach, even at light speed, which is mathematically identical to the event horizon of a black hole, which not even light can escape from. There’s not a singularity at the center of our observable universe, though.

Just to add to this… It’s not like there’s an event horizon like with a black hole. It’s just that in the amount of time it would take the light to reach us, there will have been more space “created” than the distance the light was able to travel. For someone living near the edge of our observable universe, there’s nothing strange happening. In fact, we’d be at the edge of their observable universe, the edge of their “event horizon.”

Well the reason we know is because we’re at the center of the observable universe and Earth isn’t a singularity.

I think it definitely depends on the level of involvement and the intent. Sure not everybody who just asks for something to be made for them is doing much directing. But someone who does a lot of refinement and curation of AI generated output needs to demonstrate the same kind of creativity and vision as an actual director.

I guess I’d say telling an artist to do something doesn’t make you a director. But a director telling an AI to do the same kinds of things they’d tell an artist doesn’t suddenly make them not a director.

I’m fairly certain most people consider directing (film, music, art, etc) to be an artistic process.

It’s like the dumbest version of the trolley problem where the tracks are reversed. You could do nothing and people will die. Or you could pull the lever (convince a bunch of people not to vote for Harris) and a lot more people will die but, hey, at least you can say you did something.
