Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Now that Zendaya is the most photographed and maybe talked-about person in the top two films at the worldwide box office, can we get her a solo lead?
