That Xfinity Jurassic Park commercial was amazing.
Sadly, I first thought it was AI and felt guilty for secrelty enjoying it before proceeding to chastise my friend for sharing it with me 🤣 . Then I checked the comments: Xfinity actually brought the original actors back!
Great work!

Happy book birthday to @justinkey.bsky.social , whose first novel comes out today! The Hospital at the End of the World is thrilling, but it's also a thoughtful character-based meditation on AI and medicine and the human costs. And also makes it clear that I could never have handled med school.
