Yeah, um, okay, so I'm in the outskirts of London at night with the windows open and can now definitively tell you "what does the fox say" and apparently it's NIGHTMARISH SCREAMS????? WTAF???

Watching The Odyssey in Athens with Greek subtitles is wild because every so often Greek letters will pop up at the bottom of the screen and I'll think, wait... does that mean some character is talking right now?

Originally got tickets to see The Odyssey one year ago for Burbank IMAX when they went live. But then had to cancel the tickets because of a trip to Malta to produce a film. Made plans to visit Greece after the film and got tickets to see The Odyssey in Athens... (continued)...

Went to Sicily with plans to fly from there. A volcanic eruption cancelled my flight in Sicily. Took a night ferry back to Malta. My flight from Malta to Athens is delayed. I'm stuck for a second time on a (lovely!) island in the Mediterranean. The journey to see this film had been a real...well...

AI characters take many forms in films. "Conway" in my sci-fi short TETHER is inspired by all the times I've yelled at Alexa. Actor Joe Russell discusses bringing Conway to "life" with star, Geffri Maya, in this BTS short I made about my film! Tethershortfilm.com #scifi #filmsky #scriptsky

Couple arguing near me in airplane: Him: If I'd known you were gonna to be long in the bathroom I would have gotten Mexican. There was a Mexican place right across from the bathroom. Her: Him: If I'd known I could have gotten some. Her: Him: They had CHIPS. Her: (deadpan) Yeah that sounds amazing.

Update! Him: I guess this anger is all cuz I burped and didn't say I'm sorry. Her: You burped in my face. Him: That's not something I can help. Her: And then you always do this, you make an excuse. Him: I'm trying to apologize and I get yelled at and boycotted! Her: (fake coughs in his face)

I was recently horrified to discover that Vimeo had added (without my knowledge) AI captions to my film, and they were about 90 seconds to 2 minutes off from the actual actors. A massively unprofessional (and damaging) surprise of unwanted bullshit. Anyway this article is spot-on.

Wasn't this the villain plot in "Real Genius?"

I wonder if this surprising victory has anything to do with coming so soon after Disney backed out of their Sora deal? I wonder if after that implosion there is a feeling at the executive level that AI will be problematic replacing artists for the unknown future since it's susceptible to child abuse

(I also noticed that the previous strike ended not long after California courts ruled AI generated stories could not be copyrighted... If producers replaced artists with AI they wouldn't own that IP)

Had a weird dream where all our phones had been replaced with simple ones without screens, so the govt could monitor all our texts. Kept trying to do the old-school texting of hitting buttons several times. People kept saying we should have jailed him when we had the chance.
