This is going to be a bold claim, but I'm pretty sure I could make a better movie for $30k than the AI "ideas guy" begging for ideas on the Internet, and filmmaking isn't a medium I've ever worked in before.
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

In a minor bit of personal good news, I won my first Balatro run. (I'm not very good at deck builders, so this is an exciting thing to happen.)

I can think of one YouTuber I follow who'd watch the Melania movie, and I have to figure out how to tell him not to do it.

At some point recently I had opened up a PDF and Adobe Acrobat was chock full of all the little AI icons asking me if I wanted to summarize the document I was reading.
I was looking at the menu for Perkins family restaurant.

Gmail is now asking if I’d like to have two sentence emails summarized
Holy fuck I do not want an ai summary of my email thread at the top of the page by default. 1) I know how to read, and 2) I would rather spend my time READING THE ACTUAL FUCKING EMAIL

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.
