Charley Hull bought a fake lottery ticket in Blackpool last night and tricked her caddie into thinking he'd won $100,000!
"He's taken his hat off. He's taken his glasses off. He's literally running around the players lounge sayin', 'I've won $100,000. I'm taking today off.' His face looks so happy. He was sweating. He was trembling. He couldn't believe his luck, and we had to tell him it was fake and he nearly quit the job."
going to say this as nicely as I can—whenever a white woman is the topic of discourse, other white people are very quick to say that whatever heat they get is because they’re a woman. even if the people talking are women. and especially if they’re women who are not white.
Christopher Nolan on AI:
“I’ve never seen a more rapid wholesale dismissal of a supposedly foundational jump in technology in my lifetime. So much energy has been expended on bringing in AI, but if you look at that generation’s reaction, they’re utterly rejecting it. [My children’s] judgment of AI slop has been immediate and harsh. They see it for what it is very quickly – and it’s much easier for them to identify it, because it grew out of an online world they know really well. And while that doesn’t mean that every aspect of the technology is useless or meaningless, in film-making it’s hitting at exactly the wrong time. After years of driving towards heavily virtual environments, we’re seeing a renewed interest in more tactile, more real forms of storytelling.”

i have… so many thoughts on the ai space and its weird way it has nuzzled into fandom spaces but i will just say that it is authors that use ai like this that set unfathomable and impossible expectations for fic authors and are actively deteriorating the space
