If Disney had the guts, they've got a great set-up for NATIONAL TREASURE 3...

Might make for a good meta episode of "The Studio." 😅

I'd revise #2 to "Why do studio executives complain that every little thing is a plot hole?" The vast majority of the exposition I've ever written has studio fingerprints on it.

I'd be unsettled if I hadn't at one time been a Tesla owner or a Twitter user.

This happens every day -- and not one reporter will ask this anthropomorphic sphincter why he apparently doesn't follow politics?

Men will literally make “Lady In the Water” instead of going to therapy.

Can we not put the fact that this happened in L.A. a few months ago and is still happening in the memory hole quite yet?

OPINION: White, toxic masculinity has become a plague on America, and it's about time white guys started speaking out about it, and putting it down.

Toxic white men are taking over but I found a simple way to fight back

White, toxic masculinity has become a plague on America, and it’s about time white guys started speaking out about it, and putting it down.The time to look away and ignore it as if it isn’t plainly in sight is long past, because it is quickly wrecking this country — again.Too many of our noxious, wh...

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

So the average family will pay between $3K-$4K in additional costs on goods, and get $1K-$2K back?

You'd think a guy like Trump would know how bribes are supposed to work...

You know what, never mind, maybe let's defund you after all.

Curious, since you've turned on everyone who's ever defended you, who do you think's going to have your back when this is over? No one can dismantle NPR like you're doing right now with shit like this.

And given the unfair reality that male actors regularly work more, land more leading roles, and earn more, why would this money-making venture choose to make a doe-eyed ingenue instead of a leading man?

The answer is obvious and gross.

So no, @npr.org, the answer to your question is fucking no.

David Leslie Johnson-McGhouldrick @bravecarrot.bsky.social · Oct 2

You can't make an AI actor any more than you can make an AI basketball player -- people like the aspirational aspect of watching talented HUMANS and feel wonder at their accomplishments. Watching "Tilly Norwood" act is like staying home and watching your dryer spin.

Could 'the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman' be an AI avatar?

Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated avatar, is being compared by its creators to A-list human actors. SAG-AFTRA and others are pushing back.

And given the fact that male actors regularly work more and earn more, the reasons for making her a doe-eyed ingenue feel obvious and really gross.

I am shocked, SHOCKED, to discover that Republican’ts are blaming the shutdown on brown people. 😐

This anthropomorphic sphincter actually said, “those people.”

I guess if you’re binging, but if I get to season 5 of a show and they resurrect some character/storyline from season 1, I’m grateful when the recap is like, “Hey, heads-up, that shit you forgot about is now important again.”

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
