Orson Welles’ Lost Movie Will Use AI to Reconstruct Missing 43 Minutes
Since the rise of generative artificial intelligence in 2022, the technology has mostly been plugged into parts of the production pipeline as far as its deployment in Hollywood. Think visual effects, dubbing and storyboarding. As it stands, it’s mostly thought of as a tool to streamline certain processes and cut costs.

“Fairy tales are ‘a shared dream or nightmare, enchanting lie or poetic truth, gender-shaping advertising or innocuous entertainment, traditional wisdom or thought experiment, normative script or transgressive spark.’”

Bacchilega and Greenhill’s work fits alongside heightened cultural awareness of the functions of fabulism in fictions by the marginalized.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

I did 2 terms as a VISTA. I’m a millennial—I graduated right after the market crashed & there were no jobs. AmeriCorps gave me meaningful work, even though it was minimum wage. The school pantry I started still serves 100s of students a year over a decade later 🧵

I am usually in this camp but I am interested in today’s experiment and what happens if it becomes a regular activity
My fellow Americans I have bad news: boycotts need to be targeted to work. And the target needs to know your demands so that they can be met once sufficient pain is delivered. No one will notice a diffuse boycott of The Economy. There remains no substitute for joining a group and making plans.

A major reason to watch more silent film is that there are all kinds of hidden subgenres. For example, trade magazines discussed "lion pictures" alongside comedies and dramas.
