LMAO. Reporter tries the 'data center jobs are temporary' line on a Pennsylvania tradesman literally building one.

His answer: “Every job in my field is temporary.”

🇦🇱 Albania’s capital, Tirana, has released an AI avatar of Mayor Erion Veliaj to address citizens from now on.

The real Veliaj is currently in prison.

Social Security is a system that transfers my tax dollars to old people who then transfer that money to MGM Grand Riverside Casino

She said in her statement to police that she thought he was gay so this could even be a hate crime.

very strange system where a 25 year old who can’t afford rent pays the retirement for someone living in a $20 million home.

Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models

“I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that.

“With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor.

“You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something.

“That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’

“I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

There are only three kinds of sex scenes in movies and TV allowed now: girl on top riding boredly using the guy as a dildo with no eroticism or passion, guy giving girl oral but she's either fully clothed or under blankets, guy pumping away at bored woman (no nudity shown) with close up of his unflattering orgasm face and you're meant to laugh at how cringe and ridiculous straight male sexuality is

Just as an FYI for everybody: the median annual individual Social Security benefit is $20,000 per year. The median net worth of households under 35 is $39,000.

The typical social security recipient is getting the net worth of a working household with kids every two years.

Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor.

Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys.

It grossed $17m

Here's a bit of David's acting:
