🧵: I discovered this woman, who I call Loab, in April. The AI reproduced her more easily than most celebrities. Her presence is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches. CW: Take a seat. This is a true horror story, and veers sharply macabre.
a portrait photo older white woman with long brown hair holding a misconfigured stuffed animal. she has very severe rosacea below her eyes, in the shape of triangles on her cheeks. she looks slightly 3d rendered. there is a lamp in the background.

a variant of the woman from the first image on what appears to be an album cover with the word "Loab" on it. She appears to be holding flowers, leaves, or feathers of some kind, on a textured, green backdrop.

I can't imagine a future in which a Letterboxd sale does not result in everyone's data being used to train AI for curation, recs tailored to "niche" interests, greenlighting & marketing. A digital pancaking of everything wild & enthralling about discovering film culture.

it is my strong belief that if we gather enough algorithmic folklore researchers in one place, we can establish a full Loab Studies program at a university somewhere within 5-10 years
