That’s getting too hypothetical. I can’t imagine it being anything but a one shot and even that turned out to be too much.

Black and white illustration of a humanoid robot. He stands straight, and his body shape reveals car parts - car tires on his shins and shoulders, a car grill for a chest, and a police lights on his abdomen. He has transparent skin with hints of mechanical insides across his body.

#botaday The last two of the 2007 Micron Boosters available exclusively in Japan were "chase" figures, packed only one per case. He's the same mold as Radrogue, but rendered entirely in transparent plastic. An Autobot, he turns into a Dodge Charger police car.

Either that or keep ratings locked for a decade after release.

9.5? Oh, that's an 7.5. 4.1? That's a 7.5.

Someone should write a "fandom offset" plug-in for iMDB user ratings.

The Wizard of Oz/Sphere project is a confluence of many heavy topics:

• generative AI hype
• the mining of existing IP
• "re-imagining" existing pieces of art
• resurrecting/reanimating dead performers
• conflating & confusing traditional visual effects work with "push-button AI"

I would go see this comic book movie.

There’s a very good bit on HACKS like this.

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

Black and white illustration with gray shading of a humanoid robot. His arms are the scoops/shovels of a backhoe loader, with the front shovel as his right arm, and the backhoe his longer, more articulated left arm. The driver's cabin forms his left shoulder. He has big tires on his hips and shins. His head is unmasked and unvisored, and his helmet resembles a hardhat.

#botaday Rockblade. The 9th of the 2007 blind-box Micron Boosters. A Decepticon, he turns into a backhoe loader.

People assuming I am sincere about the need for a politically active oversized cartoon rooster are absolutely correct in their responses.

We need a Foghorn Leghorn for the left.

Ben Safdie in Oppenheimer saying a line similar to the post.

Until somebody builds a Freakier Friday.

We can hear the Grateful Dead in the park from here.

They should show 1998's SPHERE in the Sphere.

Google search result AI overview that says "Today is Spider-Man Day because August 1st is officially recognized as the day to celebrate the iconic superhero. This date was chosen to coincide with the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This video explains how to change the time and weather in the Spider-Man 2 game."

It's astonishing how bad this bullshit is.

okay i'll bite. what makes this 'Spider-Man Day'?

That is precisely what prompted this. They’ve been productive this week.

Science should create a goose that doesn’t crap.

If memory serves, those versions are the 2007 ones. But there wasn't a release then, so the world didn't see them until the blu-rays. And then the streaming ones ("McClunkey") were 2011.

When was Mando the Scorpion?

Is she at a Gap?
