Fact check: the "ai actor" is not capable of wanting anything because it does not exist, the videos containing it are the machinations of psychopaths unable to engage with the humanity required to create art

Tilly Norwood has been billed the first AI "actor" in Hollywood which raises questions about what awards synthetic performers should be nominated for. In an exclusive chat with CNN's Elizabeth Wagmeister, Tilly Norwood responded to questions about winning an Oscar.

I think this is what bugs me about people automatically calling everything out of AI slop or vibed. I promise you, there is actually a talent gradient involved. You just need to learn to recognize it.

Common travel mistakes and how to avoid them

100's of fascists storm Dover *explicitly* to block roads with the threat of violence in a racist "protest": No arrests. Just Stop Oil members plan to disrupt a highway in a zoom call: 4-5 year sentences. The pigs don't go after fascists for the same reason Peter Parker never fights Spider-Man.

Anyone who expected the stupid lake renaming to be the line at which big tech resists the fascism they've been enabling and encouraging to this point... why would you possibly think that.

I missed the first wave of reporting, and only saw headlines on them staying out late and drinking, and was honestly confused about what the big deal was. Pretty shit that this stuff is diluting the actual issue

wow they were out super late? not getting worse than alleged sexual assault they allegedly did drugs? still not worse than alleged sexual assault they allegedly hired topless waitresses early in the morning? again not worse

I'll never get sick of this chart

An investigation by @propublica.org and @drilledmedia.bsky.social has found that the same modelers who overestimated the potential of CCS repeatedly underestimated solar power - one of the energy technologies that would allow more oil to remain in the ground. projects.propublica.org/why-carbon-c...

Sounds like a skill issue

It is deeply silly to have human legs on a machine in a factory, but it is extremely savvy to put human legs on a share price boosting scam attempt where you need simplistic and wide-eyed coverage in a major media outlet

Andrews was a polariser, not unpopular. A large and very loud minority detested him but more liked him, pretty much throughout his career.

Using A.I. for a shitpost/meme completely misunderstands what makes them funny. High effort ones are funny because someone put a ton of time into something silly/stupid. Low effort ones are funny in large part BECAUSE they're janky and handmade.

In my time in male leftist spaces I met, again and again, similar kinds of self-embarassed guys who held a deep, nostalgic longing for various forms of unreconstructed masculinity and a hissing resentment of feminism in general. Lost patience with one once and told him: "Go fight your actual dad!"
