If you’re burning your candles at both ends it’s a skill issue. Real overwork-heads know that you should also snap the candle in half, giving you two additional, entirely new ends to burn.

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.

Ridley Scott Says Hollywood Is So “Drowning In Mediocrity” He’s Been Forced To Watch His Old Films Ridley Scott has claimed that Hollywood is so "drowning in mediocrity" he's returned to his old films, including 'Black Hawk Down.'

I would also be concerned about crippling mediocrity if I were forced to watch Ridley Scott films.

Panel 1: Shen is standing between 2 artists is red French berets on. The artists don't have any detail, they are just generic smiling figures. Shen is look nervously to his right and sweating, his hands up a bit. He thinks "I don't belong here with these legit artists!" Panel 2: Shen tightly closes his eyes and clenches his fists, looking down a bit. The background turns a wavy purple and magenta. He thinks "NO. RELAX. It's just IMPOSTER SYNDROME." Panel 3: Shen looks up triumphantly, blowing steam from his nose, sparkles in his eyes. The background turns a bright yellow with sharp orange sparkles emanating from the center. He thinks "YEAH! THEY >>ALL<< PROBABLY FEEL >>JUST LIKE I DO!!<<" Panel 4: We return to Shen standing between the two other artists with a determined expression and his fists clenched. One of the artists looks at the other while pointing at Shen and says "We should kill this imposter."

Costco switching to Coke fountains instead of Pepsi is a massive win for the Jotalitarian project.
