VJ Edgecombe, after growing up watching LeBron James and the Miami Heat — on TV more than any other team in The Bahamas — with a hell of an Instagram story:

Nicolas Cage says "protect yourselves from AI."
“There is another world that is also disturbing me, and it’s happening right now around all of us — the new AI world. I am a big believer in not letting robots dream for us. Robots cannot reflect the human condition for us. That is a dead end if an actor lets one AI robot manipulate his or her performance even a little bit, an inch will eventually become a mile and all integrity, purity and truth of art will be replaced by financial interests only. We can’t let that happen. The job of all art in my view, film performance included, is to hold a mirror to the external and internal stories of the human condition through the very human thoughtful and emotional process of recreation. A robot can’t do that. If we let robots do that, it will lack all heart and eventually lose edge and turn to mush. There will be no human response to life as we know it. It will be life as robots tell us to know it. I say, protect yourselves from AI interfering with your authentic and honest expressions.”

Since we’re in the middle of March — Spring Break time dooodz — I figured we’d do a little MTV Spring Break flashback from back in the day.
Here’s a NEVER BEFORE SEEN clip of myself and Rodney Dangerfield putting together some promo for my MTV show “Chillin’ with the Weiz”.
After I was convicted of murder and sentenced to 26 years in prison, when the earth dropped out from beneath me, and global shame rained down on top of me, I had my first ever epiphany.
