The Criterion Channel -- Film and Content Discussion

[Matt]

Pulse should be your next watch. I'm definitely not alone in thinking it's one of his best (if not the best). After that, I'd say Charisma and Bright Future, then the rest.

For those who may be revisiting the Eno documentary each month to see a different iteration (the documentary was designed to be continually mutable via a specially-designed non-AI software program and The Criterion Channel streams a different version every month)...

So October has the Channel's fifth, and apparently last, version of Gary Hustwit's Eno documentary (the film's homepage indicates the title is leaving on Oct. 31st.). As far as previously unseen material, this final iteration is a disappointment. As with previous installments, the first half remains largely the same. At the 39 minute mark, we get a replay of the segment on Harold Budd which was present for the version streamed in June but has been missing in the July, August, and September versions. The segment may be extended this time but I can't swear to it. Apart from that, the only new content is about a minute-and-a-half of Eno giving his opinion on AI (this starts at the 56 minute mark) - appropriate given Eno's love of generative art and the template of Hustwit's documentary...

Spoiler

Not much of a spoiler, but Eno thinks we should slow down the development of AI.
