yeah, exactly youtu.be/zm3GtYvXasQIs not even a complicated type of AI, just some prompting and blending in After Effects, Id expect this from a student film not Disney
Both SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) are demanding increases in base pay and residuals in the streaming TV era plus assurances that their work will not be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI).
Hollywood execs want to keep producing $200M trash films based on recognizable IP. The long term plan is likely to shift to AI for writing and eventually even simulated acting performances. A new Marvel movie starring CGI Frank Sinatra or whatever. If the creatives don’t make a stand now, they’re going to get steamrolled in the near future.
Why is it that callow bitches like this always go for the t-shirt collection and then contrast that with their 'designer' jeans. Blue jeans are also casual dress, massively overpaying for a tag does not mean you magically have your life together.
My t-shirt collection is a display of my support for dozens of artists, content creators, and charities xwho go out of their way to make sure their material is good and their sourcing is ethical, and yeah some of them are even left over from high school, because I'm still fit enough to wear them and because I don't shop 'designer' fast fashion garbage that's pumped out by slaves and into a landfill by next year because it's either not trendy, the elastic's worn out, or you're just too fucking fat now.
Sorry my first post-nigration comment is full of vitriol but shit like that hits a nerve.
Not surprised at all… nor am I surprised that the spineless legislature let him do it We need to unelect this bonehead from any and all positions of authority he might ever actually dream of having.
“I don’t even think the governor knows what’s going on. I don’t think this is a fly on his radar right now,” Newhouse said, noting that DeSantis is a former navy lieutenant.
"Oh I'm afraid that the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive"
@Col3814444 Using Trump’s playbook, except organized rather than stochastic. Pure fascism to create this private paramilitary force. He’s been working on this for a long time.
it was a “military organization”, he said, that will be used for “aiding law enforcement with riots and illegal immigration”.
The whole time I was reading this, I was wondering how the fuck any of this is legal, and this passage answers my question perfectly: it's not. The constitution explicitly says that the military is never to be used for policing purposes, because the founding fathers were terrified of this exact kind of overreach happening as a result. This is the same as if the Third Amendment somehow became relevant again in modern times. That's why they branded the militia as "disaster relief," for the same reason as Fox News is branded as "entertainment" and not news media; they know this would never hold up against the law.
On the Lawfare podcast, Ben Whittes, who has been very critical of Trump for years, seemed perplexed by DOJs position that the case isn’t complex given the number of classified documents and there being separate charges for each document. They noted that when asked the Justice Department couldn’t identify a similar case that went to trial in under a year, but here DOJ is asking for trial in less than six months.
Cannon is a hack who has already been rebuked by a conservative appeals court. Her reputation is in the shitter. It will be interesting to see what she does here, try to revive her reputation in the legal community somewhat, or continue to be a partisan hack. I don’t think it would be surprising or even unreasonable if she sets trial sometime in the spring of 2024. If she wants to be a complete hack she’ll set it for after the 2024 election in November, giving Trump the opportunity to quash it by pardon or his control over the Justice Department if he wins.
Even if she sets a reasonable trial date, I’m sure she will have plenty of other opportunities to decide motions on a partisan political basis. Will she be an outright hack like she was when she appointed a special master? Or will she softly tip the scales in Trumps direction while preserving some plausible deniability as reputational cover? Those are the only two realistic scenarios going forward.
…audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.
Let’s listen. [Begin Videotape]
STEVE BANNON: And what Trump’s going to do is declare victory, right? He’s going to declare victory, but that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they’re going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump’s going to take advantage — that’s our strategy.
He’s gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it’s going to be even crazier. Because he’s gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden’s wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.
