Boots Riley came out swinging after Martin Scorsese announced his involvement with the AI company Black Forest Labs on Tuesday, guessing that the filmmaker joined the firm as an advisor to help provide for his family and that Scorsese “doesn’t give a fuck” since he thinks AI will “fall on its face anyway.”

The “I Love Boosters” filmmaker posted on X: “My guess: at 83, they gave his family a gang of money (they throw tens of millions left&right) he wanted the income stream4them& feels like ‘AI’ will fall on its face anyway, so he doesnt give a fuck. If that’s not the case, extrafuck him. Separately, go see I Love Boosters today.”
