This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Also, again, a reminder that "AI" is such a broad and useless marketing term that it's almost entirely useless. I can't say I will never use "AI" because it covers so much programming ground, including ground previously not under its umbrella. I can say what creative things I won't use it *for.*

"I don't like movies that *rely* on 'CGI'" is a ridiculous thing to say.

I’m increasingly uneasy about the flood of AI images on social media. They are mostly absurd and frustrating. They may sometimes be creative experiments, but the fact that so many users take them at face value says a lot about our collective loss of visual literacy.

“We don’t have to be kind, anymore” is a sentiment that seems to be manifesting explicitly and implicitly all over the place. An alarming number of people seem to be relishing the opportunity.

One of the new official pics of new Jag prototypes reminded me of this spy photo of the Rover SD1. Although actually, the finished Jag has more of an XJ-S vibe. I mean that as a compliment.
