David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

If you haven't listened to the trailers for The Harbingers — please do!! It sounds so cool so far, I'm really excited to tune in!

Gabriel Urbina @gabrielurbina.com · 7h

The first season is 16 episodes, between 30 and 45 minutes depending on the episode, all telling a continuous, ongoing story.

The dream is to make multiple seasons of it, and fairly quickly? But we need the show to find an audience first. So if folks are curious, definitely tune in next week!

Alex @iamalexlemire.bsky.social · 7h

how long do you expect it to be? multiple seasons like wolf 359 or a single season like unseen?

Joni Mitchell is still wearing that crown as far as I'm concerned.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

THE HARBINGERS comes out one week(!!!) from today!(!!!!)

Here's another quick peak at the script for our first episode, out October 14th!

ADAM BLACKWELL
Okay, this - we’ve only got a few
minutes left. So we’ll call this
good for today, rather than diving
into a whole other topic. Does
anybody have any questions?

Practically every hand in the auditorium shoots up.

ADAM BLACKWELL (CONT'D)
Any questions that... don’t have to
do with my unusual abilities?

Slowly... most hands dwindle downwards.

ADAM BLACKWELL (CONT'D)
Yeah, all right. Everyone, I need
you all to understand... This is a
serious class, okay? I take the
academic study of Harbinger
languages seriously, and I expect
you to do the same. Anything else
that I can do... that’s not really
what we’re here for, okay?

A wave of half-hearted “okays” sweeps through the room.

ADAM BLACKWELL (CONT'D)
... which is why we’re only going
to do this once, okay?

NEVERMIND, WE’RE SO BACK. Everyone is leaning forward.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true
