I was in SF for a anniverary showing of Ghostbusters and there was a no shit minor earthquake just as the reactor was switched off - lots of looking around and muttering "was that...planned?"
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Again, it will never be as good as a person doing it but it will be cheaper and everyone will have shittier and shittier services, imagine everything being CVS forever
As was true with the translators I heard from in an earlier edition, copywriters never felt that they were being replaced because the AI's work was better. It was almost always worse. It was simply cheaper and faster, and deemed "good enough" by clients.

I spent a thrilling night under observation in the ER this week and I can’t say that I, or the elderly woman grunting in pain next to me, really cared about “becoming consumers again”
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

current Word sucks and also changes things so that docs formatted in a different update are now an unread mess, and it also reformats when you turn into a pdf, which is the industry standard over here in hollywoo. Google docs also sucks ass and they scrape for AI
