Dil Chahta Hai is a personal favourite, but the ensemble cast also helps in that one...

Listicle from media website that still includes the chatgpt prompts in the text.

We might as well cut out the media middlemen and get AI to generate our listicles ourselves. Why see ads?

New startup idea: LinkedOut. A site where you track the assholes you absolutely don't want to work with, ever again. Alerts you when any HR from those companies pings you.

Depending how much you hate them, you can assign them a 1st, 2nd, 3rd level distance to keep.

THE LIFE OF CHUCK opens in select cities Friday.
Everywhere, June 13th.
Go see it. It will brighten your day.

I'm old enough to remember when Frey made up whole swaths of his "memoir." Frey has always seemed like a grifter, and him using AI to write passages in his new novel isn't surprising when you know his past grifts like this YA one. Rich white men get chance after chance after chance, don't they. 😒

Five black and white favourite movies

Khamoshi

A Stitch in Time

Super, man!

Here's what's *really* going to happen:

All the technical parts of the creative process - computer animation gruntwork, sound leveling, copying around and formatting the screenplay, splicing together multiple takes, ykwim - are going to be replaced by AI. Letting creatives do it all by themselves.

A quote by Stephen King A friend came to visit James Joyce one day and found the great man sprawled across his writing desk in a posture of utter despair.James, what’s wrong?'...

reminds me of this story from Stephen King: www.goodreads.com/quotes/20093...

(i.e. don't sweat the number of words :) )

Copilot consumes Nadella’s life outside the office as well. He likes podcasts, but instead of listening to them, he loads transcripts into the Copilot app on his iPhone so he can chat with the voice assistant about the content of an episode in the car on his commute to Redmond. At the office, he relies on Copilot to deliver summaries of messages he receives in Outlook and Teams and toggles among at least 10 custom agents from Copilot Studio. He views them as his AI chiefs of staff, delegating meeting prep, research and other tasks to the bots. “I’m an email typist,” Nadella jokes of his job, noting that Copilot is thankfully very good at triaging his messages.

If you thought social media had scrambled America’s CEOs just wait until they’re fully cooked by AI apple.news/AJ_ht7MMyT9G...

A multi-season Hindi adaptation of Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake)'s Parker series, set in various cities in India, with the later seasons focused on the Mumbai underworld.

Man, that would rock.

Instead of the bland, "have a nice day," add some suspense by saying, "I hope you enjoy the next 24 hours."

Almost nobody wants you (or encourages you) to spend time with your friends. Your office doesn't like it, your family wants more of your time, your hobbies try to pull you away. But you absolutely need to prioritize them because they're the only ones you can be honest with.

They're very open-minded to be honest.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

I love when folks discover horror with a movie or a book. We’re over here like, “Oh, you loved Stephen Graham Jones? Sinners is your new favorite movie? You’re “getting into serial killer stories”? Come on in! Oh, we have such sights to show you. Whatever you’re into, we have it.

Finished reading Nick Cutter's The Troop yesterday, and am now cutting up bean sprouts for dinner. Ugh.
