"Signing an AI actor"?
How does an AI actor actually get implemented in a production? Is every human on the show just talking to a video of a synthetic person on a screen? Or is there an actual physical humanoid robot there? Or is it just adding a image of an "actor" in post-production?

I would sacrifice so much to return to 2014-era Google search functionality. I hate shitty ai summaries and how we just have to accept that the machine will just lie to you in an authoritative tone now instead of simply fetching relevant information

Last night I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
