I'll be curious to see how the DC press corps holds Trump, Vance, Johnson et al accountable for the bald-faced lies they've been spreading about the No Kings protests and protesters.

I'll also be curious to see how the press covers those same lies when they're rolled out ahead of the next protests.

Well this isn't what I was told to expect from these protests

NYPD News tweet: The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted.

We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests.

Sectaurs was one of those toylines I was fully prepared to get WAY into at the time…buuut no one else really did so I wasn’t allowed to.

Plus, they were on the expensive side relative to other figures.

Between Sectaurs and Rambo, though, Coleco had some folks who knew what they were doing.

If you have no visual skill, you’re not a filmmaker. You don’t have an idea.

If you need AI to create, you’re not a creative, you’re a thief.

These people are disgusting pigs.

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world. www.businessinsider.com/marc-andrees...

Didn't go to film school? Don't worry. Legendary investor and movie buff Marc Andreessen doesn't think that will be an issue for future creatives.

During an episode of "Monitoring the Situation," the podcast for the venture capitalist firm that Andreessen cofounded, A16z, he said advancements in AI technology — like OpenAI's Sora 2 — have made it possible for a new type of filmmaker to emerge.

"The filmmaker with no visual skill, or access to a set, or to a camera, or to actors, but with an idea," Andreessen said on Friday. "It's going to start with shorts and animated things and so forth, but it's going to work its way up to full movies."

There are many reasons mid-80s Crockett is better than anything WWE has ever done. This would be one.

As someone who’s watched the business since 1984, I don’t know how anyone makes it through a RAW or Smackdown awake. AI is the natural progression for a company that lost its identity 25 years ago.

This appears to be legitimate so I'll repost it.

WWE is now using AI storytelling and will use it more and more now that Paul Levesque is neglecting his duties to try to get into politics.

So far the best it has come up with is Bobby Lashley (now in AEW) becoming Tensai.

WWE has a contract with Writer AI, a platform which has already been fed WWE content.

Cyrus Kowsari was hired last month as the new Senior Director of Creative Strategy. He had previously been a Producer for Buzzfeed from 2016 to 2022 and for ONE, the MMA company, from 2022 until last month. He was introduced to the creative staff by Paul Levesque.

In introducing him, Levesque said that Kowsari would lead WWE’s transition to AI based story telling and integrate AI into creative services like video and graphics. He said that this shift is inevitable when it comes to creative in pro wrestling.

Kowsari said he would both manage AI storytelling and be a liaison to the White House as Levesque is taking on more duties in politics in some form.

Thus far the AI software has come up with what one person with knowledge of the situation called absurdly bad storylines. They pitched a storyline where Bobby Lashley, who the AI thought was still with the company, could come back as a wrestler who was obsessed with Japanese culture and history.

The feeling is once bugs are worked out that AI will begin to have major impact on storyline direction.

Another promotion previously tested out AI for creative help and suggestions and found it couldn’t understand pro wrestling and storylines.

Not only that but with respect to Nick Fury…

-the Ultimate version of the character is Black

-Marvel bent over backward to introduce Black Nick Fury Jr. into the 616 without changing anything about the original character

These guys tell on themselves every step of the way.

In his first term, he took PPE from blue states and either gave it to red states or impounded it at the federal level.

No one said or did anything about it. Thousands died.
