He won by being very anti AI and pushing for more protections against it's use in filmmaking.

What you are seeing is the last true Hollywood movie star before AI takes over.

SynthID is more than just the invisible watermark. If someone has SynthID Portal access they could test if this removal tool works. Regardless the watermark is important so when Google does it's next model training runs they exclude AI images and videos to prevent model collapse.

Why are they looking? Aaron-Taylor Johnson is the obvious pick.

The Last Unicorn. I was a kid and didn't understand the messaging, I just knew it made me profoundly sad.

His performance in The Batman really changed a lot of peoples opinions of his acting ability.

Let me solve this step by step. 1. Initially: * Total people = 100 * Left-handed = 99 people (99%) * Right-handed = 1 person (1%) 2. Let's say x left-handed people leave * New total = 100 - x * New left-handed = 99 - x * New right-handed = 1 (unchanged) 3. We want the new percentage to be 98%: * (99 - x)/(100 - x) = 0.98 4. Cross multiply: * 0.98(100 - x) = 99 - x * 98 - 0.98x = 99 - x * 98 - 0.98x = 99 - x * 98 - 99 = 0.98x - x * -1 = -0.02x 5. Solve for x: * x = 50 Therefore, 50 left-handed people need to leave the room to bring the percentage down to 98%. Let's verify: * New total = 50 people * Left-handed = 49 people * Right-handed = 1 person * Percentage = 49/50 = 0.98 = 98%

Go see this movie. Very fun ride. Also see Jack Quaid in Companion which also underperformed at the box office. Both great films.

Someone said this was like the Drake-Kendrick Lamar feud for geeks. But it isn't because everyone is on Palmer Luckey's side whereas Drake and Kendrick both had support from their fan bases.

At least NEON and A24 release there film at the cinema. Steaming movies just doesn't have the same effect. And Netflix is restricting filmmakers by have certain requirements for their films.

Huge ego to do that when they were only allotted 20 seconds.

I simply cannot believe that some people do not have an inner monologue. It astounds me that anyone could think in such a different way. This question will help clarify and convince me that some people really don't experience an inner monologue. How do you decide on dinner? 1) With Inner Monologue: 'I wonder what I am going to have for dinner tonight. Maybe pizza? I've been craving that. Where should I get it from? Oh, I think Domino's would be good. Let me look up if they have a coupon.' 2) Without Inner Monologue: Visualize Pizza: Seeing an image of a pizza in the mind. Feel a Craving: Sensing the desire for pizza without putting it into words. Picture Domino's: Imagining the logo or a scene of the Domino's restaurant. Recall Coupons: Remembering seeing a coupon for Domino's without verbalizing it internally. Which one best describes your thought process?

It's incredible I haven't even been asked to make a donation yet.

The AI industry's impact on website infrastructure costs is evolving into a two-pronged challenge: First, websites bore the computational burden of AI companies crawling and training on their data. Now, a second wave of costs is emerging as AI agents actively browse websites in real-time to answer user queries. This creates repeated, high-frequency traffic that strains server resources.

Love how we're getting A-list actors doing horror now! Hugh Grant playing Mr. Reed in Heretic was wild, and now Malkovich going dark in Opus? Horror fans are getting spoiled with these killer castings 🙌

The movie Artificial is going to be wild. Let's see if Andrew Garfield can play a convincing Sam Altman.

Just so everyone knows. Deleted scenes and James Gunn's commentary are being added to the digital release of the movie tomorrow when the physical version is released.

It is going to be worse at licensed characters because it isn't scraping the internet, copying licensed work like Deadpool and Mario. It also has a huge blindspot in sports images that Midjourney does not for the same reason. Adobe is being responsible not stealing from artists.

Over regulation is a big reason Europe is so far behind when it comes to AI.

At least they are doing live demo's something Apple hasn't done in years because of issues like this.

The White Sox are 10-28 so far this season. If they turn it around and win the World Series then we will finally have definitive proof that God exists.

Dave Bautista is way too small now to play Marcus Fenix.

The ACA was based on Mitt Romney's MA healthcare reform bill. Now we in MA are again going to lead the way when we pass Mass-Care which would guarantee all residents comprehensive health coverage through a publicly-financed Massachusetts Health Care Trust, eliminating private insurance for covered services and providing all medically necessary care including doctor visits, hospital care, mental health, dental, vision, prescription drugs, and long-term care—with no premiums, co-pays, or deductibles at the point of service. Mark if you really cared about fixing healthcare in this country you would support this.

Anyone claiming Unitree or Figure or any other humanoid robot manufacturers have surpassed Boston Dynamics fundamentally misunderstands robotics engineering. Boston Dynamics remains lightyears ahead in terms of dynamic stability, complex movement algorithms, and real-world adaptability. Their proprietary control systems have created an insurmountable technological moat. While competitors showcase flashy demos, Boston Dynamics robots operate in actual industrial environments, solving problems no other platform can touch. The gap isn't closing, it's widening.

Yes, imagine if Veo 3 used Veo 2's generated gymnastic videos as training data. It's easy to see how the model's representation of gymnastics would degrade over iterations. That's model collapse and a real issue as more online content is AI generated.

So they will sit at home working on there side AI projects LMAO.

I thought you supported the American Worker? If Trump makes a deal to give Nike an exemption on the Tariffs if they start moving manufacturing back to the USA you are going to have a lot of egg on your face.

Worst yet for Gal? Already a low bar. It must be awful.

Marvel is so back with this movie. Go see it everyone!

We were too harsh on Steve Ballmer as CEO for Microsoft. Sure the stock was stagnant for a decade, but Windows 7 was fantastic.

Dumb. Dell has fired almost 20k employees last few years. Short sighted Wall Street loved it but now there products are suffering. Monitors with coil whine, computers with poor build quality ect. And look at there stock now.

Read the comments to the article. LMAO. WE aren't close to AGI. Fundamental problems and challenges exist that we don't yet know how to solve need to be solved to reach AGI. LLMs most likely won't get us there.

Sam Altman.

Delete this 🤣 if T-Mobile sees this they'll correct their mistake.

She probably doesn't want her diary used to train an AI model. Obsidian > Notion.

Good too many are gullible and fall for the trailers.

1 person leaves! Percentage = 98/99 = 0.989898... ≈ 98.99%. Clearly you are wrong.

The Titanium move was always more about premium feel and marketing than function. It's heavier and conducts heat a lot worse. We are now seeing the same thing with the Air. Form over function.

Nissan doesn't realize this and most don't think about it. But them being named by Mozilla as the car company that violates privacy the most has hurt them among the younger generation. The meme going around was Nissan wants to know when you are having sex. From Mozilla: "Nissan's privacy policy is probably the most mind boggling creepy, scary, sad, messed up privacy policy we have ever read. And we here at *Privacy Not Included read a LOT of privacy policies. Please people, if you care even a little about privacy, please stay as far away from Nissan's cars, apps, and connected services as you possibly can. Here's why: They come right out and say they can collect and share your sexual activity, health diagnosis data, and genetic information and other sensitive personal information for targeted marketing purposes. We absolutely aren't making that up. It says so in their Nissan USA privacy notice. And that's not all! They also say they can share and even sell"Inferences drawn from any Personal Data collected to create a profile about a consumer reflecting the consumer’s preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes" to others for targeted marketing purposes. Yes, Nissan says they can infer things like how smart you are, if you have a predisposition to drink, if you are acting depressed, and if you are any good at chess (we're guessing that's what they can infer..it could be even worse than that), and then they say they can make as much money off that very personal information as they can. Nissan, you suck."

Netflix should do what Apple did with F1 and give it an exclusive wide theatrical window. Brad Pitt is a huge box office draw.

Seen this before with Cisco and dot-com bubble. The scary part is everyone knows the Cisco story, but the incentives are too good to care. VCs need deployment, OpenAI needs chips, AMD/NVIDIA need buyers, everyone's stock goes up. Nobody wants to be the one asking "wait, but who's actually making money here?" when they could be riding the wave. Classic bubble logic: this time is different because AI is real (it is), so surely the unit economics will work out later (???).

Don't worry Jenna Ortega is use to being horror scenes.

Ridiculous that they were even able to get a patent on the Nemesis System and now that Warner Bros cancelled the Wonder Woman game we aren't going to see the Nemesis system anytime soon.

All these researchers wouldn't have left OpenAI for Meta if AGI was imminent.

If Samsung or Apple implemented this I would go caseless. Maybe that's why they don't.

Great movie. The film's mental health message is profound: both protagonists tried to handle their demons alone and refused help from others. The entity fed off of their past trauma to gain control. If you're struggling, reach out for help.

Are these AI experts those trying to raise billions of dollars to keep their company afloat? I don't think Climate Experts have the same incentives.

It's criminal that this movie isn't getting a theatrical release.

Why did they rush out Apple Intelligence then? It's very unlike them to rush a product out. Samsung has had foldable phones since 2019 and yet Apple has taken its time and won't be releasing a foldable till 2027. They must have real FOMO of missing out on the AI bubble.

Upload your MRI to @grok and when insurance denies your medical claims also use Grok to write your patient appeal.

I swear to god. If he dresses up as a clown I am going to lose it.

Elizabeth Holmes must feel like she was so mistreated. All she claimed was that Theranos' technology could run blood tests using a few drops of blood instead of a teaspoon amount. The current crop of tech CEOs are promising immortality 🤣

Very good work. Love it. Ignore the hate from the anti ai crowd. Those who use AI tools know this type of work still takes a lot of skill and talent.

Why make it seem like this was your first time?

UPS are Union Workers (Teamsters) and it shows. Take care of your employees and they will take care of your customers.

Hurry up so @bryan_johnson can stop having the worst hair dye job I've ever seen.

This makes sense. Clayface's core ability is shape-shifting which is a natural metaphor for deepfake technology and AI manipulation. The premise of an actor using artificial means to transform himself into others directly parallels how deepfakes allow people to digitally become anyone else.

This is going to be good.

Sam definitely told Trump that AI will be able to reverse his age in order to secure this deal 🤣

When LED bulbs were first introduced, experts predicted they would dramatically reduce electricity consumption for lighting. Instead, global electricity use for lighting increased because the low cost and efficiency led us to using them everywhere like inside your Gamng PC :)

So pumped for this years Oscars mainly due to Conan being the host!

Everything in moderation. Should children on their birthdays be denied Cake, Ice Cream and Soda because they are living in poverty? Think about that before you advocate for changes to the SNAP program that would have unintended consequences.

I suspect most of these AI influencers have never actually built anything substantial with AI. Anyone who has would know how far we are from AGI.

My bet is Hush - Thomas Elliot, a childhood friend of Bruce Wayne turned villain.

Yup those are the real benchmarks. Everything else is just nonsensical.

This is wild. Just tried in Claude Sonnet and it gaslit me that it couldn't display emojis in text responses at all until I called it out. Then it failed and didn't realize why it was having trouble displaying a Seahorse Emoji.

Allan is correct Harris will win.

Oh no Apple will have less money for Stock Buybacks. How terrible for you Wallstreet folks. Last 10 years instead of investing in America by building factories and paying American workers they spent $645 billion in buybacks.

Going to see more of this with AI agents. Just cold emails, calls and AI slop on social media all around. Going to get wild out there Troy.

Have you never watched Club Random with Bill Maher?

Our Netflix subs are about to be $50 a month.

Yes but your original made you look like a wise Celestial being.

Ya so what? Android is the operating system on Samsung Galaxy phones. It would be like saying Microsoft showed off new windows features on a Dell laptop instead of a Surface device. No one cares and is irrelevant.

Agreed but with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors now performing on par with M series Apple is in trouble. The Dell XPS 13 with Snapdragon X Elite is above M3 and very close to M4 performance and we all know CoPilot is way ahead of Apple Intelligence when it comes to AI.

Most didn't watch those indie movies. This was in reference to his male fanbase which drastically increased when he got all those comic book fans by proven them wrong that he could play the role of batman.

AVATAR: Fire and Ash is my most anticipated movie of the year. I can't wait to see this in 3D.

Doritos cost $7 dollars a bag. The fight is lost.

Formula One should use the in car camera's that Apple specifically developed for this film. They are much higher resolution and picture quality versus the ones they currently use.

If people can't see where this is heading then they have their heads buried in the sand. Hollywood quality AI generated movies will be possible within 1 or 2 years.

That's the James Gunn cringe humor we are all looking for.

Infinite Money Glitch.

Very sad news. Everyday Robots developed general purpose robots that could clean cafeteria tables, separate rubbish from recycling & could even open doors. The robots use AI & reinforcement learning to adapt to new situations & improve their skills. #ai wired.com/story/alphabet-lay…

This example is absolutely Bananas!

Hey Geoffrey. You originally predicted AI would become smarter than a human in 30-50 years. Now, you say it will happen much sooner. How soon?

Lily Rose-Depp was fantastic in Nosferatu.

Will OpenAI respect the "Disallow" command in robots txt when website owners add "User-agent: GPTBot Disallow: /" to protect their server resources from both AI training crawls and real-time AI agent browsing? We need clear confirmation about whether this block will be enforced for all OpenAI's current and future AI interactions with websites.

Already better than Wikipedia. Haven't even been asked to make a donation yet 🤣

Hulu may have canceled 'A Court of Thorns and Roses", but at least we have 'Longlegs,' the best horror film of 2024, just released on Hulu. Nicolas Cage is fantastic.

I love when I ask CoPilot to write out the steps on how to accomplish X in Excel and it just hallucinates the steps. Drives me crazy.

Dune is Hans Zimmer's best work since Crysis 2.

He said private and you recommend a Google product. He wants a zero knowledge LLM. Something open source that can be run locally.

Do people not realize Samsung Galaxy Watch has had accurate blood pressure readings for 4 years now? Apple's approach isn"t even half as good.

Fun Fact - Luca Guadagnino is among the rare few who continue to shoot on 35mm film instead of digital. 🎦🎞️

Imagine you have an ice cream cone on a super hot day. To keep it from melting, you'd need to put it in a special freezer. Now, quantum computers are like VERY sensitive ice cream - they need to be MUCH colder than any freezer in your house! So scientists built something like a magical Russian doll freezer. You know how Russian dolls fit inside each other? The quantum computer chip sits in the very middle, like the tiniest doll. Around it are bigger and bigger "freezer shells": The outside shell is as cold as the North Pole The next shell inside is WAY colder, like colder than any ice cream you've ever touched The very inside shell, where the quantum computer lives, is so cold it's almost as cold as anything can possibly get! Each shell helps keep the inside colder and colder, just like wearing lots of warm coats in winter - except these "coats" make things super cold instead of warm! The scientists use a special type of super-cold liquid (called helium) to make everything this cold. It's like having the world's most powerful ice pack wrapped around the quantum computer to keep it working properly!

Android backups are not E2EE. It's not zero knowledge. Meaning Google holds the encryption keys and can unlock/view all your cloud data if they wanted to. Apple Advanced Data mode stores the encryption keys on your Apple Devices so Apple themselves couldn't unencrypted the data. Big Difference.

No Generative AI was used in making Frankenstien. In fact, Guillermo del Toro recently said during a panel - F*ck AI.

Many Windows users who computers couldn't upgrade to Windows 11 switched to MacBook Airs.

At least they simplified exporting Apple Notes to Notion via Markdown :)

In my defense no one should read past the first few books. Things get wild and not in a good way.

Don't sleep on this show. It's fantastic for anyone who loves movies. So many easter eggs and clever commentary on the industry. Plus it's hilarious!
