Nic Cage:
He continued: “How do you survive AI? Amazon is a very AI friendly company to the tune of 50 billion dollars invested to OpenAI. I am not an AI friendly actor. I didn’t sign the waiver to let them use AI on Spider-Noir. It’s kind of like I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again. But that’s OK. So I got to get with these young directors who are Gen Z and they’re going at it their own way, whether it’s through the YouTube culture or whatever it is. They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”

"Hey, nice to meet ya. I'm Mark." "Hi! I don't use ketamine!" "I... didn't ask?" "You were thinking it though. Everyone does. I'm no druggie. "Are... you..." "Not consensually, no." "That wasn't what... I... not consensually how?" "Well you know how the government is these days." *sigh* "I mean..."

okay so this anecdote in Margaret's obituary has me crying because this is exactly what it's like being in tech and trying to anticipate failures and having men basically tell you you're being hysterical and then you have to fix it later
"the Lauren error": One day, her daughter Lauren, then four years old, was playing with the command module simulator at the
Instrumentation Lab when she somehow activated a pre-launch program, called P01, while the simulator was in midflight - which
crashed the simulator altogether. Hamilton created a program add-on in the technical documentation warning users not to launch P01 during flight.
She also proposed a software fix to prevent the error happening during a real mission, but she was overruled on the grounds that the highly trained astronauts were never going to make that same mistake. Yet during the Apollo 8 mission in 1968, that's exactly what happened: Jim Lovell inadvertently launched P01 during the flight, causing the on-flight navigational data to vanish. Hamilton and her team were called in to solve the error, and after that her proposed changes were integrated into the program. This was an early example of "defensive" programming, the

While I did clean my plate, in the end it's a gimmick that not many people may be able to taste because it's so subtle and ultimately bland. Does not meet or surpass your average box curry. 3/10

My brain still breaks at some of the behaviors I see customers exhibiting towards workers in B&M retail. A grown ass man, illegally parked outside, has the gall to say, "My birthday was in July and your store missed it. Since it's my first time here I should have this for free. You owe me."

completely true and it's a huge reason why many people do not want UBI, bc they will not be able to as easily control entertainment any longer. nearly every art scene and entertainment vector (tv, video games, etc) is completely shaped by the wishes of labor aristocrats and bourgeoisie

When translators say they hate doing MTPE because it's faster to just do it from scratch and results in better material, we're not exaggerating. If I was a proofreader and a translator handed me this, I would immediately tell the PM to fire them. No translation is genuinely better than an MT in loc.

Setting: Heaven. Crane game machine, "Souls" marquee, filled with orbs, operated by an angel, many retrieved orbs at their feet. Angel gazes upward at a large hand pointing down, sternly. Behind the angel is a devil, queued, disgruntled, arms crossed. Caption: "Let your brother have a turn already."

did bluesky hear about Miss Teen Indiana’s Garfield costume
A young woman in a Garfield inspired outfit with a Garfield headdressThe young woman from the first photo is holding a lasagna that says “lasagna my love language”missinteenusa Tonight, Indiana is going Garfield!
My state costume celebrates one of Indiana's most iconic creations-Garfield, created by fellow Hoosier Jim Davis.
Born in Marion and raised in Fairmount, Davis turned an orange cat with a big personality into a character recognized and loved around the world.
But this costume represents more than a famous Hoosier.
The hand-painted comic panels on my skirt share messages inspired by my initiative, Captivating Confidence:
"Our differences are what make us beautiful."
"If we don't have love, we have nothing."
"Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates."
To me, true confidence is found in embracing what makes each of us different and recognizing that our greatest beauty comes from within. I am so excited to bring a little Hoosier humor, creativity and confidence to the Miss Teen USA stage tonight!
This one-of-a-kind costume was inspired by my vision and brought to life by Indianapolis-based costume designer, Jess West. @jesswestcostumes
