Universal has a good opportunity to become the last standing dream factory. Lure away talent (like they did with Nolan), snatch up excised visionaries, become the alternative to the Skydance slop machine on the way.

Mexico’s overwintering monarch population grew 64% this winter, with butterflies covering their largest area of forest since 2018. The recovery remains fragile, but suggests there’s been a positive impact from conservation efforts in the butterflies’ core habitat. buff.ly/XoPKQ9d #ShareGoodNewsToo

Artificial intelligence tools are also used during other phases of video game production. In the art department, for example, they can help generate reference views that 3D artists then use to model characters initially designed in 2D.

AI is also used to gather references for natural environments. The game's universe is influenced by the forests of southern England, so these tools facilitated research into vegetation, trees, and other elements that later served as references for the artists.

In programming, artificial intelligence can speed up searches related to compatibility between libraries, classes or variables, as well as to solve bugs

I think we missed a huge opportunity to normalize masking as a public health tool. We eradicated an entire strain of the flu with Covid prevention measures. Masking shows respect for those around you. It shows solidarity with the disability community. It shows you value long term health.
