This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.
I’m taking Cate Blanchett: Talented Mr. Ripley, LOTR, Life Aquatic, Black Bag, Tár, Ponyo, Hot Fuzz, Eyes Wide Shut, Thor

One of the reasons that 'right-wing ideology appropriates absolutely everything' is their quixotic desire to make inherently uncool ideas seem cool. They despise the cultural currency and cachet that a wide variety artists hold and are forever engaged in a futile quest to capture a modicum of cool.
“In her interview with Hearon, Wachowski said that she was unsurprised conservatives have latched onto the film because ‘right-wing ideology appropriates absolutely everything.’”
Lilly Wachowski Has Learned to “Let Go” of the Right Wing Co-opting Her Work
During an interview with podcaster Caleb Hearon, the ‘Matrix’ codirector talked about conservatives embracing the concept of being “red-pilled”: “This is what fascism does.”

I'll say it again -- I'm on my firm's AI committee: every canned demo has had brutal, malpractice-level errors, and every live trial has required more time and care to vet the output than to just do it, like working with an unteachably incompetent associate you'd need to sit down for a Hard Talk.
Loving that AI productivity boost!

It's not the public's fault that marketing has shoved dozens of different technologies that have nothing to do with each other under the umbrella of "AI."
Blame that on the marketers and the techbro hype. They've poisoned the well and you can't explain to every single individual the differences.

For example, things like autocomplete and machine learning have been rolled into the shit katamari dubbed "AI" even though both predated GenAI by a long time.
Machine learning has been quietly in use in numerous applications since the 00's.
But they still sell it now as "AI."

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
