It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

‘Everybody Digs Bill Evans’ Review: Anders Danielsen Lie, Laurie Metcalf and Bill Pullman in a Portrait of a Jazz Legend That Hits Every Note
‘Everybody Digs Bill Evans’ Review: Anders Danielsen Lie, Laurie Metcalf and Bill Pullman in a Portrait of a Jazz Legend That Hits Every Note
The seductive opening sequence of Everybody Digs Bill Evans draws you in like a magnet. The improvised jazz drifting through the air at the Village Vanguard in New York on a summer night in 1961 — soft, caressing, mellow, smoky — is one thing. But the extraordinary communion shared by the musicians of the Bill Evans Trio is what makes the sequence so memorable, concretizing what will later be described as “a perfect conversation” between them. Fingers skitter up and down the strings of a double bass, hands massage the piano keys, brushes gently scratch at the drums. It’s hypnotic.

If the Supreme Court ever rules carbon isn’t a public health danger, it won’t be a legal decision, it’ll be a confession: science discarded, reality vetoed, and fossil fuel money seated on the bench. At that point, stop calling it governance and start calling it fraud.

Democrats are suggesting reforms for ICE, but the reality is: abolition is the way forward, not reform.
