Co-Creator Stone on South Park and the Promise of AI

Matt and Trey shaped society more than they want to admit. Legends!

Literally anything less is an understatement. They are indeed legends.

[@m0rtred]

Because he loves what he does more than anything .. 4REAL can't stress enough how detrimental that is.. That's Key .. People think they wont have ANY problems being mentally pressed in any way and weight while on the work place but that couldn't be more incorrect . Even if it seems like it has no effect on you it builds slowly and once it passes occupying a good % of your brain it escalates real quick and becomes a seriously dangerous health and/or mental problem very, very quickly.. All of the sudden you find yourself on the job for two years and you can already noticeably tell there's a fast growing sensation in your chest that's gonna make your head explode in the upcoming month or so. Slowly you start to worry and you can't even recognize it comes from your work environment and instead of recognizing there's something wrong and correcting it you think its a matter of sucking it up and being a professional, this is just what you have to do because its hard work, and you absolutely are a hard working man/woman, otherwise how did you even manage to get this far? right? Which couldn't be further from the truth and reality.. You have to, the very least like and / or learn to love what you do for a living or it could possibly kill or harm you irreversibly, how long it's gonna take depends entirely on you, your body, mental health, any existing traumas etc.. It might never happen some brains work nothing alike others who organically are exactly and completely the same.. Even worse we know so little about it it's basically nothing, just crasy, literally makes me feel insane how we made it this far, and we're not doing that great tbh as a specie.. Took us god knows how many billions, trillions, countles of years so we can be what we are today.. Real Shame

[@Sycokay]

I don't think it's about filler episodes, those can be interesting if character development happens in them. I think the problem is overall the quality of writing has decreased (there simply aren't that much talented writers) and they try to make that up for with flashy CGI. Which makes everything pretty expensive - so you have less episodes than before streaming, and less interesting stuff happening in each episode.

Hey, it's his choice. I'm not gonna lose sleep over him not watching tv🙄

[@chaws314]

Can someone make dna backups of Tray and Matt. They are the best and I don’t ever want to lose them! 😂

[@willdarling1]

agree, but note to the AI overlords: what makes Matt and Trey great is mostly not in their dna

[@chaws314]

@@willdarling1 true. So we should make mini-me clones of them now so they can follow the real versions around to learn from them 😂

[@breeshea6405]

This is the only time I’m all for cloning. We need more Matt and Trey’s. It’d be a bit creepy though lol.

[@as-h989]

no

[@kaiju147]

Hoping another season is on the way🙏🏽💔

So where was his insightful analysis of AI's role in future animation?

[@RyanEYE]

Matt looks in great shape

[@dattajack]

20,000 people per week at $25 per person, for 52 weeks, is $26M per year of revenue. Subtract their overhead to figure out their profit. They could definitely pay off their debts eventually at that rate.

[@andybaldman]

Except it’s $50 per person.

[@bondi5000]

So wait… hold on a sec… that’s ummm… errr… $52m per year!!!

[@GeorgeJoubert-id2cv]

​@@bondi5000restaurants are on thin margins with large overheads, but they could probably still net around 10 million per year from that, helped by fame

[@tonyfrasca8259]

Exactly! I felt the same way about The Walking Dead sucking me in then sucking at the end!

[@odiumimbues]

trey may be the creative genius, but matt is and always will be funnier/darker. thats why it works.

[@jamespowers.gpa.]

South Park, to me, is the greatest comedy ever (in my life) and to have Matt Stone do a live interview is so awesome and dude just asked the most surface level shiz. Any time it started to gain momentum or Matt would start vibin, dude would just never reciprocate then ask another question we’ve heard before lol … I mean I watched it all so it wasn’t ruined but come on, this could’ve been gold

[@mangaas]

South Park is Matt & Trey's original Minecraft world.

[@danlowe]

Second seasons are truly nuts. The transformation in that Tulsa show with Sylvester Stallone from Season 1 to Season 2 is incredible.

[@ZoeeMF]

he is so good😩😩
