Hundreds of conservative operatives outlined a plan that Donald Trump, or any Republican, could use to purge climate action from the federal government.
Well honestly what does trump (or most republicans) care anyway? They’ll be dead in a few years so they don’t need to be concerned if the world is baking. All they care about is next quarters earnings.
A top Pentagon official has attacked this week’s widely watched congressional hearing on UFOs, calling the claims “insulting” to employees who are investigating sightings and accusing a key witness of not cooperating with the official U.S. government investigation.
Agreed. I can’t help but feel like this hearing is intended as a distraction. My midwestern city just had another thunderstorm with 70+mph winds and its the 5th or 6th of the summer. We’re in the middle of the hottest month ever in history and it’s like DC is humming along as if it’s business as usual. Nobody is even trying to do anything about fixing climate change or even just improving emergency preparedness for severe weather. Instead we have senators literally sitting in congress catatonic and having strokes on TV because staying in power is more important than doing anything for the country.
My thinking is that from a studio’s perspective it may be like a proof of concept that AI can get close enough to do what they care about make a passable imitation that gets buts in seats that will generate ad revenue or ticket sales. Fundamentally they aren’t really concerned about producing quality material as long as it sells, so if the AI can get them to something kind of good its likely worth their attention. I think that’s what writers and actors are concerned about and that is why even an unfunny south park episode is a threat. Fable can say their work is research all day long but their goal can easily change the second a studio shows up with a check in hand.
Also it is not clear here is how much human editing and tweaking was done after the AI was finished with it’s part. I suspect people kind of helped the AI get to a final product, but without them disclosing their procedure it’s hard to know.
