I blame “early birds”.  Society has been set up for extroverted early birds.  This includes the patterns established with when businesses are open and when other resources that would encourage healthier behavior are available.

I would like to see the same sort of event but give each side 15 minutes of practice.

Why do you continue to deadname X? It’s very obvious that X has gone through gender reassignment. The shape of the Twitter bird was very Y-like which implies male (not 100%) and X implies female (again, not 100%). Regardless, please don’t deadname X.

hurt the box office

Unless it releases around the same time, isn’t knowing that a longer cut is coming going to hurt the box office of the shorter version? I’m not one to see a movie multiple times in short order (I love Star Wars and have maybe watched it four times in total because I don’t need to watch it every week). Knowing that…

I appreciate the lengthy reply but, like the article, it’s irrelevant.

Netflix salary ranges are nonsense to comply with CA salary disclosure law. They put up a nonsense range so you can’t actually gauge how competitive it is and so they can play the salary dance with you. I interviewed for job there and they told me the range was $80k to $500k. No one pays $500k total comp for that…

This is one hell of a stretch. None of those roles have anything to do with using AI in the film and TV writing process, which is what the strikes are about.

I doubt these have a single thing to do with the potential replacement of human artistry with AI. For over a decade companies have used thousands of business intelligence softwares for data analytics that all count as AI in computer science lingo. These are engineering positions.

um....none of the jobs described in this post have anything to do with writing....

Let’s hope Qanon doesn’t find out about this -- we’ll end up with conspiracy theories about how the Jedi Order are a bunch of groomers ... hey, wait a minute!

The other thing they’re obsessed with? Taking a youngling of some sort somewhere else. The Mandalorian is obvious. But after the Mandalorian, Obi-Wan felt repetitive. But you can see elements of that same story in The Phantom Menace and A New Hope.

I argue that with AI art, the prompter is the creative person in the equation. There’s a difference in what is generated if I ask for a picture of “a frog in a swamp” vs “a slimy yellow frog in a foggy swamp at dusk”. So, a “good” DAL-E artist would be one that can refine the prompt to generate something that people…

So, if they do overturn it, does the monkey guy get rights ownership back and can then sue PETA et al for the money? I mean, it’s either / or, right? Either you need a human or you don’t.

I’m as anti-Musk as pretty much anyone else here, so my asking of this is not me defending him. It’s actually because I’m sure I must be missing something because if he supports doing it it’s pretty much guaranteed to be a stupid idea lol.

But he never once kicked the mouse’s butt as you are saying here? He picked a fight he had no chance of winning & one that only a marginalized sample of Americans care about, the Y’all Qaeda. But go ahead and convince yourself of otherwise if it makes you feel good.

I’ve been using Here/Nokia maps for over 15years. Still the best offline maps bar none.

I much prefer the offline map experience of HERE WeGo. This is the same mapping data used in a lot of vehicle GPS systems. It was also once part of the Microsoft / NOKIA world. But it’s since been spun off to its own entity. With HERE WeGo, you can download maps at a Country / State level without having to draw a box…

Then that next CEO gets overcompensated for “managing the crisis” or whatever. I’ve worked at/with several companies and there is a disturbing pattern of workers do something (C-Suite get bonuses), CEO does insane thing by conflating worker success with their own genius (C-Suite get bonuses), thing inevitably fails…

This is savings! Your not accounting for the cost of money which is super high right now as interest rates have risen. They might eventually have to spend that money, but they could save 10%-20% on that $100 million by deferring paying down some of their debt.  They like most other studios got screwed over when the…
