SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It wasnโt on purpose (the attached email was nuked) but the video is now lost. Sadly, due to the current state of the world, that may be for the best.

From left to right, we've got a long-haired white guy making a 'hell yeah!' face and probably hearing REO Speedwagon in his head. Then there's a pretty girl with straight long hair in a pink shirt very consciously doing a posing for a photo face. Then a black guy in a blue polo to prove everyone here is cool, next to the oldest dude on the team with longer hair and a 'stache in a peach-colored bowling shirt. Then a girl with a cute bob and sunglasses in a floral shirt, and finally there's Ed who there isn't a lot to say about. Below the ball display is a wooden sign with tracks for placing movable plastic letters. In the top left it reads 'REDONDO BCH.' and top right is '1975' and between those is the mysterious phrase 'MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY'.

14.09.2025 00:47 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It is consistent in escalating its insanity, because the author has a strange fixation on topping himself. So in narrative ambition, the trilogy generally goes 1 too little, 2 just right, 3 too much. Something for everybody if youโre on board with the insane premise. Iโm team too much.

And theyโre all good, I know people whose favorite is the first, my favorite is the third.
I feel like the elephant was a turning point
