It’s hard to believe that Annapurna leadership (and Ellison specifically) are surprised by this. It reads like Ellison is known for backing out of deals or simply not honoring them. Why should the staff believe she would honor a spinoff deal?
Hope the team is able to get something off the ground.
It’s of course troubling that AI images will go unidentified through this service (I am also not at all confident that Google can do this well/consistently).
However I’m also worried about the opposite side of this problem- real images being mislabeled as AI. I can see a lot of bad actors using that to discredit legitimate news sources or stories that don’t fit their narrative.
I loved the original, and enjoyed this one. It was a respectable sequel, especially given how most sequels are hot garbage. Worth a watch if you enjoyed the original movie. Not necessarily theater worthy, but it was pretty great to hear the original Danny Elfman theme playing in the theater during the intro.
Or, perhaps a mashup of both???
I don’t understand the folding phone thing. It feels like tech now is all about creating ridiculous features and tech companies trying to convince us that we want them while ignoring things that would actually be worthwhile like repairable phones, headphones jacks and minimal bloatware.
" optimize staffing levels to be more comparable with industry leaders”
I will never understand why investor types like to play follow the leader rather than giving strategic or financial reasons for business decisions. Who gives a shit if every other studio is laying people off? If the staffing is right for your company then following other industry leaders will only make things worse and cement you in a place behind those leaders.
So, I skimmed the article and may have missed it. Why is this anything more that tinkering with and (maybe torturing) mice? What’s the actual scientific value here? (Assuming invisibility potion wasn’t an actual goal)
Perhaps medical dyes for imaging?
+1 Usual Suspects for sure. That movie blew my mind.
I think I read somewhere too that AIs were actually better than people at captchas.
Have NFCU for my mortgage and car loan and it is absolutely astonishing to see how behind they are in tech. To set up autopay on the car note they wanted me to send in a form and wait something like 6 weeks, and I got no interest discount or anything for doing it. Ended up setting up autopay through my regular bank online in about 3 minutes and said forget it.
Why do tech companies keep pushing this crap on us when society has clearly communicated that it is dumb?
They’re just as ridiculous and overpriced as you’d think.
Pandora has a station called “music for studying” that I find pretty helpful. It’s a combo of instrumental electronic and classical and it’s just upbeat enough to keep me focused without being distracting.
If I remember right, OpenAi started with this model too, and they do lots of shady stuff. Not that this is the plan for Proton, but I completely agree that simply creating a nonprofit that owns the for profit brand doesn’t guarantee good behavior.
It’s especially exciting that there’s an existing medicine that appears to help with the brains waste removal process. Should speed up time to get a treatment out for widespread use.
If they wanted to make this movie a success they should have had ONE PERSON from the writing, directing and (most importantly) casting team sit down and play the games.
Actually yes there was a study showing that recently
Good. I’m sick of seeing the “pet this cat” reviews at the top of the list. Hopefully this changes some of that stuff.
Would be interesting to see the GOP try to run with this messaging. As much as they hate “dei hires” they would jump all over that part, but seeing that it benefitted a white male would likely make them short circuit.
It blows my mind to see so many leaders so nonchalant about genocide.
