As a performer, I, of course, have additional objections to the use of AI actors like Tilly Norwood that have been trained using the performances of others without consent or compensation. I will not work on any productions where I know an AI is being used, nor will I sign with any agent repping AI.

Todd Weekley @toddweekleyvo.bsky.social · Sep 30

As an audience goer, I want to see performances by real people, not AI. Not only does a human performer bring innovation and heart to their character, they are (generally) more ethical than an AI creation.

I will not see anything with Tilly Norwood in it.

While I'm on the subject of podcasts, let me recommend another great series, chosen a fan favorite! The End of the World is a great, easy-to-binge romp through a bizarre bed & breakfast.

Ozymandias, by Percy Bysshe Shelley (Animated)

Todd Weekley @toddweekleyvo.bsky.social · Sep 19

For some reason, I keep coming back to this poem I recorded in 2021. "Ozymandias" reminds us that even tyrants will fade to dust and be forgotten, no matter how grand their ambitions.

Of note, the google blurb for the listed website talks about building a no-code platform for web applications.

Scam alert! Recently received this email purporting to be casting for a game show based on Squid Game. I did some digging, and this appears to be a scam to get personal information from the recipient (e.g., banking info, etc.). Be wary.

Email from someone calling themselves Lee Gyu purporting to be casting for LVLWON, a game show based on Squid Game. The email is likely a scam attempt to gain information from the recipient.
