One underrated bonus of mask use is that you can hide your expression when your Lyft driver starts saying, "Have you heard of 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad'?"

JB Pritzker is a billionaire. Nancy Pelosi is a hundred millionaire.
That's just two people out of a wealthy and well-connected national party.
The leadership could easily finance this PERSONALLY, to say nothing of campaign funds already on hand.
It's a choice to do business as usual instead.

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here:

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

In 1998, the (bad) Italian movie Cucciolo somehow managed to do something important: they shot quite a long sequence in the now-defunct SegaWorld London, located inside the London Trocadero. The park opened in 1996 and closed in 1999.
Here is the entire sequence.

it’s a testament to how good The Pitt is (and how desperate America is for real wokeness) that you don’t even mind when they look 1 degree to the right of the camera and do a PSA about fent use or patriarchal violence or nursing shortages and safety. I’m 100% serious, it’s great
