Bunch of missing stops and unlabeled dots on the green lines. Even with MBTA green line projects this is wrong. Boston metro is full of turbo transit nerds who argue nightly at breweries about how to build a proper spoke-hub model for the T so these clowns could have popped into any of the many local establishments and had about a dozen experts chime in to volunteer help. But of course AI is used by the non-experts because if they do not know it already then that means no one knows it.

Wasn’t there also a local celebrity MBTA expert on a reality dating show too? Cmon MA officials, do better.

The slop startup dubs this “Audience Intelligence” and claims pixar experience. There are two “interactive movies” by them, Pickford AI. No employee there should even consider themselves adjacent to artists.

Alamo Drafthouse built a reputation on strict viewing rules to provide a pleasant immersive experience at their theaters.

All of that is gone. They switched to you using your own phone to order food/drink so people are on the phones more often than a regular theater. And now they are doing AI “audience immersive presentations” where the audience remains on their phone to submit prompt garbage to AI generate dumb movies.

Support your local theater. This chain got too much love the last decade. Being in the northeast we only recently got an Alamo but plenty of small local theaters exist in and around the city (brattle, coolidge, west newton all if you are in Boston).
