Yeah because since then there wasn’t a single notable MCU release to help build up for Doomsday

[The Hollywood Reporter @THR]

'Avengers: Doomsday' director Joe Russo says watching 'Avengers: Endgame' is “required” to understand the upcoming film.⁠
⁠
According to Russo, the upcoming 'Avengers: Endgame Encore' — a re-release of the 2019 blockbuster featuring additional footage — is “going to connect the story of the two movies...I think it’s important to see Endgame again in theaters for two reasons: One, you’re going to have a lot of fun … and two, I think it’s required viewing for following the story in Doomsday.”⁠ https://t.co/f4uVKkufQf

I saw a post on Reddit today about AI that said, “AI is data, and data can only look backwards. Creativity looks forwards.” And I genuinely need to sit with the weight of that for a while.

A very annoying thing that happens now is that people who know nothing about a subject will "consult" AI, get the wrong information, and then try to "correct" you on a subject you actually know something about. They treat AI like the Oracle of Delphi

one of the greatest blockbusters of the last decade

I dream of a world in Egypt where motorcyclists ride in fear of fines so brutal they have no choice but to pass it off to their grandchildren.

Meta just made every public Instagram profile promptable. Type someone's @ into Meta AI and it generates images of them from their recent photos. Every adult public account was opted in by default, and the person never gets notified when it happens.

Google built the same capability and made two choices Meta didn't. Gemini only generates your own likeness, and you have to pass an approval process before it turns on. Meta's version generates anyone's likeness and turns on before you know it exists.

That gap is a product decision, and the logic is simple. Ask users to opt into "let strangers make AI images of you" and single-digit percentages say yes. The feature needs a deep pool of promptable faces to feel magical. Default-on is the only setting where it works.

Here's what survives your opt-out: any images already generated from your photos. You flip the toggle and stop future generations. Everything made before you found the setting stays in circulation, and you were never told it was made.

The setting itself sits four menus deep under "Sharing and reuse," a label that sounds like it's about reposts. Opting out of AI likeness generation is filed under the same toggle as remixes and stickers.

Private accounts are excluded. Some celebrity accounts are blocked, likely for rights reasons. The profiles with lawyers got protection by default. The profiles without them got a buried toggle.
