‘Andor’ creator won’t make scripts public due to #AI: ‘Why help the f-ing #robots?’

I don’t think all AI is bad, but I do think without #regulation and a solution to its negative environmental impact, it’s a dangerous, slippery slope that needs to be addressed now.

Mirror, mirror on the wall - who is the worst #actress of them all? And if they haven't died, they're still rebooting today ...

On the one hand I'm always happy when the right-wingers are busy with something unimportant, on the other hand it's a children's movie (is there anything less important to get mad about in the current crisis situation).

Ultimately, this all is too woke mob will ensure that we get even more franchises and that #Hollywood risks even less with new ideas. This will give us an even more unpalatable mishmash and less entertainment. So let the kids have their movies and tone down your racism ...

This #Classic #Sitcom Was at the Top of My #Watchlist. Too Bad #Netflix Ruined It

It’s been used in movies already, but it seems like A.I. has now been unceremoniously injected into the classic sitcom genre as well.

AI is used to change old 4:3 to 16:9 format and upscale to 4k resolution.

Did Netflix Ruin 'A Different World' With A.I.?

Netflix can use A.I. all it wants...but I know which show I won't be watching on the platform.

We're not sure any fediverse folks have splashed the cash on Fyre Festival 2 tickets (did you also try and buy Graceland from that woman in Missouri?). But just in case you were tempted, the tourist board in the location where it's supposed to take place in Mexico says it "does not exist." Edgar Gasca, from the tourism directorate of Isla Mujeres, said, “We have no knowledge of this event, nor contact with any person or company about it." The event is supposedly happening from May 30-June 2. Tickets went on sale last week priced from $1,400 — still with no confirmed musical performers or details on what will be happening. Here's more from the NME.

David Johansen, who fronted the legendary 1970s proto-punk band New York Dolls and also recorded under the pseudonym Buster Poindexter, has died at 75, his representative confirmed. Johansen was the subject of a documentary from directors Martin Scorsese and David Tedeschi, “Personality Crisis: One Night Only.”

“I’ve known David Johansen for decades, and his music has been a touchstone ever since I listened to the Dolls when I was making 'Mean Streets,'” Scorsese said when he announced the film. “Then and now, David’s music captures the energy and excitement of New York City.” Read more @pitchfork:
