What I find so annoying about all the Tilly Norwood discourse is how harmless I find AI actors to be. Actors are successful because they're real people. Even if an AI can outact a person, no one will become interested in a program like they are in someone like Timothée Chalamet or Jennifer Lawrence.

I often think about how the Royals may have lost the 2014 World Series, but they lost it with the tying run on 3rd. It still stings to be sure, but it was as good a way to end a season without winning the series.
The Blue Jays proved me wrong tonight. They had the tying run on 3rd in the eleventh.

Anyone who mothballs a tentpole developed by the guy who put together OCEAN'S ELEVEN should be seriously questioned. Even if I didn't love Soderbergh, creating the vision and language of a franchise that averaged about $400m twenty years ago is the kind of skillset any studio should be begging for.

I don't know that much about Bari Weiss. What I do know is that if an administration pressured a news outlet to hire me – even if it was led by a President who I supported – I would walk away. That Weiss accepted a job and nine-digit check tells me everything I need to know about her.
