If Julian Assange is extradited to the US, you can wave the First Amendment and global press freedom goodbye. I spoke with @jlpassarelli, @_taylorhudak and @Moncaro
and wrote about why we must demand his pardon. #FreeAssange #FreeAssangeNOW

You’re telling me Bill Belichik came into Pittsburgh and handed the home team a devastating loss? Shocker.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
My $0.02 and could draw straws to decide 2-4.
Gonna be a long, long wait until my IMAX 70mm screening on the 25th.

“my children’s judgment of AI slop has been immediate and harsh”
THATS MY GOAT
Christopher Nolan on AI:
“I’ve never seen a more rapid wholesale dismissal of a supposedly foundational jump in technology in my lifetime. So much energy has been expended on bringing in AI, but if you look at that generation’s reaction, they’re utterly rejecting it. [My children’s] judgment of AI slop has been immediate and harsh. They see it for what it is very quickly – and it’s much easier for them to identify it, because it grew out of an online world they know really well. And while that doesn’t mean that every aspect of the technology is useless or meaningless, in film-making it’s hitting at exactly the wrong time. After years of driving towards heavily virtual environments, we’re seeing a renewed interest in more tactile, more real forms of storytelling.”
