Anthropic is out with new nonsense about Claude (or the collection of models called Claude) deserving moral consideration and/or be able to feel distress, so my inbox is filling up with journos asking me to comment. I've also got a day job, so here is a brief set of public comments on this: >>

Tonight on TCM #TCM HOPE AND GLORY (1987) One of the best films of 80s. John Boorman's autobiographical film about his growing up in World War II London during the Blitz. Unforgettable. Highly recommended. 🎥

Anthropic saying official company policy is "don't be mean to Claude" is yet another lame marketing attempt to convince the dumbest amongst us that the computer is alive and it is depressing how many people believe it.

"What if the computer has feelings" ask the people who write the code used to blow up Palestinian families and Iranian school children, to strip millions of people of their health care, to help the modern-day Gestapo put our immigrant neighbors in concentration camps. Yeah, what if.

Ben Affleck used AI to make parts of ANIMALS, which tracks, since the whole film plays like nobody cared enough to make anything feel real. My review of a movie so slapdash and halfhearted that not even Gillian Anderson gives a good performance (!) is at @thewrap.com.

If people are ridiculing your movie for looking like shit and pointing out that it's a blatant ripoff of HIGH & LOW, then perhaps may I suggest he's fixating on the least important aspects of filmmaking?

NYC is on track to have its lowest rate of shootings EVER, and the thing that is going to ruin that is the presence of ICE. If the police commissioner cannot pick the side of New Yorkers, she obviously has to be fired. The numbers do not lie.

I find it funny that he admitted he used AI in this. And I think it's going to be a contest to figure out if something is AI or it's just regular bad filmmaking.

This announced structure implies that it will remain business as usual (for now) at TCM. That likely means it will continue to lose viewers as cable hemorrhages subscribers. Nielsen reported that cable fell to 18.7% of total TV usage in July, down from 22.5% a year ago. That's a steady decline.

TCM has a future at Skydance, which is good news. And it will be part of the film group, which suggests a similar structure to its niche at Warner Bros Discovery after Scorsese, Spielberg and PTA saved it from Zaslav's cost-cutting. In the short term, all is well. But deadline.com/2026/10/turn...
