Luca Guadagnino's nearly finished Sam Altman movie, “Artificial,” has been dropped by Amazon MGM Studios.
The film, starring Andrew Garfield as the controversial OpenAI CEO, will be shopped to other studios. The move notably comes after Amazon struck a massive partnership with the tech company in February, which included a $50 billion investment. https://t.co/ebSo7jSLnG
Luigi Mangione will assert a psychiatric defense at his state murder trial. (via AP)
He could then face the possibility of being sent to a psychiatric treatment facility instead of prison.
@FredTaming probably should just require a little colorful beanie to sit on top of your head with a propeller that spins around when recording starts to remove all doubt
Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of "natural stupidity"
“We are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty,” he said.

@kgordoncampbell And *immediately* reconfigures a new amortization based on having paid early- otherwise, when do they give you your one month credit for extra payoff? (FYI I am pretty sure Tony and I are doing the same program)
@kgordoncampbell No you’ll finish about 7 years early, I’ve done that math. (Some loans require you to pay the full amount of interest which I find hard to believe). I have a principal payoff balance that’s a fraction of my total that I will pay in the next 15 years of my loan.
@kgordoncampbell@TonyMej88048209@QuickWarthog@darrelltalksfi I completely understand what you are saying. But, I don’t think they will allow you to do that however I do think that while it’s criminal they sit on the money for 2 weeks, once they get the 2nd payment they apply it immediately to principal and interest
@kgordoncampbell@TonyMej88048209@QuickWarthog@darrelltalksfi Ohhh, you have to make both biweekly payments prior to the original monthly due date btw (I was confused by “push ahead”your due date). Also they won’t process the half pymnt toward principal, because then there won’t be enough in the 2nd half-pymnt for full P&I
@kgordoncampbell@TonyMej88048209@QuickWarthog@darrelltalksfi …that they said I didn’t have to pay mortgage for a few months because I was ahead of schedule due to the biweekly plan. But for sure it’s misleading and a separate payment demarcated “to principal” would be better as early as possible
@kgordoncampbell@TonyMej88048209@QuickWarthog@darrelltalksfi I’m a bit confused but no doubt you’re the expert. I stand by the theory of the 13th payment pays down principal (by making 26 “half” payments) each year. Tony’s screen shot and my own experience in a cash crunch, I called mortgage co. and was surprised
@TonyMej88048209@kgordoncampbell@QuickWarthog@darrelltalksfi Yeah, if youre getting the same benefit as me, then we are still making 13 payments a year, shaving years off, but I’m pissed about them holding that payment for 2 weeks. we’d both be hugely better off just making one extra payment at the beginning of each year.
@TonyMej88048209@kgordoncampbell@QuickWarthog@darrelltalksfi that’s great, without the rate/payment (or math skills LOL) I can’t deduce whether or not they are holding your first payment until the second one each month, the key question is “is my biweekly payment immediately applied to interest and principle every 2 weeks?”
