The Very Latest AI Breakthrough

This is a technical breakthrough but poses many dangers for all employed in Hollywood specifically and our society more generally. Imagine politicians saying things or doing things that they never actually did. Imagine seeing videos of white police officers beating up black people … that never happened. Do you think that China and other nefarious actors on the world stage are going to hesitate to inject such propaganda into western social media?

      I am too poor to buy new, so I am an avid buyer and seller of gently used, perfect, equipment. And I’ve actually bought from Wayne before … I’ve even been to his home in Fontana, CA. He’s a fabulous man … a retired Asian Electrical Engineer. And I’d love to relieve him of this Rosewood Signature cart.

  4. given how readily a huge portion of the swirling masses swallow what the see/hear/etc unfiltered, and repeat the gossip, it does not bode well. we are headed for a time when Big Brother’s 2 minutes of hate is a real thing. guess who Big Brother is, guess who the target of the hate is, guess who is doing the loud hating on cue.
    gawdalmighty lm glad l was born right in the middle of the baby boomers. what a joyful time, meeting exchange student that summer of ’69 l just found a pic of the cots we rigged up in the basement of the farmhouse come non-denominational church south end of town. my big brother got wind of the place, l went there out of curiousity and wound up moving there summer of Woodstock so of course we had to have a freebie too.
    l was the electrician. 17 and l already knew about duty cycle and no prob substituting a 20A fuse in the panel to catch the spikes when the bass player hit the strings same time as a loud chord and the singer belting it out.
