So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

Gavin Newsom being a transphobe is a plenty good reason to not vote for him but on top of that, he’s not been a good governor either. If you’re gonna go all in for an evil person, they should at least be good at their job.

IndyCar and V8 Supercar driver Simona de Silvestro had a dream to race in these Olympics, and has realized that dream. She's worked hard on the various tours trying to qualify. She qualified as ITA-1 into these Olympics.
But she's a bit off the pace here, she'll be 21st and miss the final heat.

Even better: The Continuous Sidewalk.
Instead of forcing people to step down into the street, we make the cars step up into the pedestrian space. It prioritizes the person walking or rolling, keeps the path level for accessibility, and physically forces drivers to slow down.

Last year, it took an Axios engineer 3 weeks to complete a project. This past week, a similar project was completed with the same amount of work in 37 minutes with AI, writes Axios CTO Dan Cox.
