I'd love to connect with more creatives on here, so: intro post!
I'm a screenwriter from London who moved to LA just before the ol' panny-D. I'm head writer of Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld, which comes out on Netflix Dec 5th! If you like Buffy, you'll like this:

Ill be clear about why I am so angry and critical about it: Im seeing a good portion of my students who have imbibed the notion that they dont have to read, think or write for themselves because ChatGPT/CoPilot will do their thinking for them, and its terrifying. It should scare all of us.

i think it’s entirely reasonable that discussion on the new toy that has a limited use compared to its promises and is force fed into damn near everything by corrupt tech companies and governments is going to have inherent animosity
lamenting on the lack of “reasonable” discourse is a skill issue

Once again: people are angry for very good reason, and this brand of post is perhaps one of the most tedious and bewildering. Practically every social media platform is rabidly pro-‘AI’ so are govts, academia, companies. This one small space being critical of AI is okay, I think.

The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

A lovely little thread about Jentry, which is:
✅ Still on Netflix
✅ Up for THREE Emmy Awards next month, including for Directing and Writing 😎
✅ A really very good series if I do say so myself, so go and watch it plz

Xueting's Pop Culture Digest takes a look at Jentry Chau V.s the Underworld, which I spotlighted before it came out, and finally had a chance to see. It's harder to post about works that are superb, there's so much to say. I’m very impressed with how much this high school show leans into horror. 1/

My opinion didn't changed. I still love Jentry Chau vs The Underworld. But it is funny that this is happening on this post specifically considering it's from an entire thread

I think I said this a while ago while arguing with people who said that bots can do law / medicine.
The difficulty in practice is not simply knowing the symptoms of a clinical presentation. It is understanding that you have to ask people questions to make sure you understand what is happening.

At an industry event last night one (old media) journalist said “we may need institutions like the BBC because internet searches don’t return separate news stories now, but an AI summary that is usually wrong.”
Watching an industry shrug and surrender to a competitor that DOES NOT WORK.

If anyone has particular restaurant/ food recommendations for a first timer in New York, let me know. Crazy delicious, not crazy expensive (if possible). Please point me in the direction of little places I will talk about for months afterwards
Going to New York for the first time in March for the Children’s & Family Emmys! I will be leaving an Emmy-sized space in my suitcase, of course. We only have to win against [checks notes] Pix…ar? Is that French?

A number of AI-generated images have been circulating on social media falsely claiming to show a young Zohran Mamdani and his mother posing alongside Jeffrey Epstein.
This has led to Alex Jones and others baselessly claiming that the fake images indicate Mamdani might be related to Epstein.
