Watching the segment: The first thing I'm going to zero in on is the crime stats. Here's how 60 Minutes set it up:
- Leavitt saying the people going to CECOT were the worst of the worst
- Then 60 Minutes saying the Human Rights Watch report says that nearly half had no criminal history at all
- Leavitt saying the people going to CECOT were the worst of the worst
- Then 60 Minutes saying the Human Rights Watch report says that nearly half had no criminal history at all
Here's the rest of Bari Weiss' memo. "We do not present the administration's argument for why it sent 252 Venezuelans to CECOT," and on Sec. Noem's trip "no comment from her or her staff about what her goal on that trip was... or if she had or has concerns about the treatment of detainees." LOL!

Partially, because its magical seeing your art move, but also because I wanted to experiment in building a small, indie style pipeline for fan projects.

I've been seeing people call basic automations (Like MS Power Automate, for example) "AI" and now when I'm asked about AI I really have to take the conversation back to first principles.
"Okay when you say 'AI' what exactly are you referring to? what are we talking about specifically?"
"Okay when you say 'AI' what exactly are you referring to? what are we talking about specifically?"
I have absolutely zero sympathy for studios intentionally conflating useful tools with LLMs in order to launder the image of LLMs then being surprised those legitimate automation tools are now a PR liability. If you are calling inverse kinematics AI you can't be surprised when people get mad at that
I was wrestling with this all of yesterday based on a producers comments from July + the Larian stuff. It's all about as clear as mud and I'm exhausted.
What has become clear is that unless I'm inside a studio or someones a big dramatic proponent I won't really know one way or another and it's shit

We all know there are plenty and plenty of ideas.
This is just a veiled way of going "we don't want to pay for those ideas others have made."
I have had an art director pay for a meal with me and ask me to pitch ideas. They don't even want to pay for the $30 local breakfast.

America, you've spoken loud and clear: you do not like being stabbed in the dick with an ice pick. But what if stabbing yourself in the dick with an ice pick is the only way to fight, idk, climate change or whatever?

“Here’s your meal, full of delicious lead” I don’t want it. No thank you. “Well, what about if we just use lead in the cooking process? You can’t even taste the lead in the final meal” I’m leaving. “You’re being childish. Soon everyone will be cooking with lead” have you fucking listened to yourself

New technology isnt hated because of what it does, but rather there is zero safety nets for citizens who spent their lives on their craft only for the rug to be pulled. If ai managed to up productivity, it doesnt mean less work. It means your boss will keep piling it on while he axes more people.

So they understood they made a big mistake and turned back on AI, "yay".
If you want to read in english. Hope they keep it that way.
I guess backlash went on them mostly and they want to save their butt, but coming from a company, it's rare, so.

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.
NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.
ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.
Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

Also I feel like it goes without saying, but please don't attack people who are forced to choose between getting fired and using AI as instructed by the people in charge.
The onus is squarely on the heads of companies that make these decisions and put their employees into these situations.
