There’s a post somewhere that goes something like β€œIf you ever wonder why something is designed / built that way, the answer is because it’s cheaper”

How about we all accept that both the β€œEast Wing” and β€œWest Wing” are just the embodiment of the β€œWings of Desire” (Wenders) and embrace instead the movie’s eternal themes of Time and Immortality??

My application β€œEndless Family” uses AI to include photorealistic family photos starring you.
Your wife and the kid you told you’re going out to β€œbuy a pack of cigs” many years ago, never to come back? You can be in that photo again.
