one of the more interesting rumors i've heard about Mr Beast is that there's been a fair number of engagement data faking for the past three or four years, and it has started to come up among advertisers after the awful Beast Game Show had miserable ratings
Genuinely incredibly fascinating study in what marketing vectors lead to literally zero sales here, wowwww

It’s important to think of this systemically. Women are less likely to land managers and agents to begin with, and then less able to be able to transform successes or even jobs into higher visibility and more attention in the town. The reason they do so well in contests is many are read blind.
The number of women screenwriters on this years Blacklist is... abysmal?

Why aren't more women percolating up to fav unproduced screenplays in LA when women fill the contests, workshops, labs, and other unpaid opportunities.

Are women getting read in the right places to cut through?

Seriously... this is the tech that not a week ago had big people on one of the main AI companies saying how he wants public hangings and how he wants to use AI for war and surveillance.

Like you cannot be any more cartoonably evil. Then there is Altman and his abuse of his little sister.
I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

And I should note I actually do believe there are positive use cases for the amorphous suite of tools we inelegantly lump into “AI,” and that there are ways we can balance them out against an economy that is good for the collective whole - but making that case is very specifically not *my* job

you have to make a positive case for AI tech and assuage people’s very reasonable fears of what it will do their livelihoods, you can’t just call them stupid and ignorant

imagine how incredibly insufferable I’d be if I spent all my time sighing heavily about how stupid and ignorant the public is just because they’re afraid of drones and how they can be misused

this is exactly what some AI boosters sound like to me

Yes, there are nice people working on AI technologies who have nothing to do with the high level execs or companies who constantly terrorize the public, but again, while I am a bit more sympathetic to those people, it’s still your collective industry’s PR issue to fix

I indeed would have more sympathy for the AI industry writ large around public perception if there hadn’t been years now of genuinely constant attempts at the highest level to make everyone who isn’t an upper-level manager terrified that AI will destroy their livelihoods

before you claim I just don’t understand, idk man, I work in civilian drone technology, I think I understand the general concepts that surround “the tech you believe can help people has an absolutely anthrax-level public perception” well enough

The advice to "draw feet" is really good advice but looking at some of the reactions to it, I think folks misunderstand. The point isn't that we regularly need to know what a characters feet look like. The point is that we need to see where the feet (and therefore the characters) are in space and...
