Every AI ad is so enthusiastic about the creepiest things. No, I don’t want you to use mass surveillance every time someone says they lost a pet.

Just tried to watch a 2022 “Hulu original” movie that is apparently not available on Hulu. What’s the point of these streamers if they don’t even host their own movies?

I’m going to stay off social media for a while because I don’t need to see another video of someone being murdered. ICE/Border Patrol are a government-funded terrorist organization. The main priority of anyone in power right now should be to do whatever they can to stop them.

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

The trouble with remodeling is that once the guys are in your home, you start realizing all the other stuff you need fixed. Before you know it, the projects have multiplied and all of your money has disappeared into the “just one more thing” fund.

So they can’t pay licensing fees to anyone whose creative works they stole to create their software, but they’re going to try to charge licensing fees to everyone who makes something off their software. That idea is both ridiculous and insulting.
OpenAI has absolutely zero ideas. They have no business. This is not a real business line and it’s so utterly vague and specious, I’m shocked at the credulousness to just print it without saying “there is no logical way this works of course” or talking about how the CFO of OpenAI is saying nonsense

One small thing that would make my life better is if companies stopped immediately emailing and asking me to buy more right after I purchased one of their products.

Unfortunately, that didn’t turn out to be an amazing comeback story for the Bears. Oh well.
