Hollywood Has a Major AI Hype Problem

Studio execs and major media outlets claim that AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over film and TV. The reality is much different.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

Only total contempt for viewers or an insanely cloistered reactionary world view could let someone look at lifelong propagandist and reactionary siren Bari Weiss and try to sell her as some great nonpartisan hope. We live in hell.

the recurring Walgreens push notification for a flash sale is such bloodthirsty end-stage capitalism. first time I thought it was an error but now it has evolved to include an asterisk for limitations.
