The people who *make this tech* can't get it to work in a simple demo, and their magical thinking about it has convinced them that they didn't need to do the most basic level of preparation for their demonstration. So it is, in fact, an excellent demonstration of what genAI will do for society.

Speaking to Redford's sense of grace: QUIZ SHOW is streaming free on Hoopla, and it's one of the finest films about class and morality ever made in America. You should watch it.

Wonderful episode of an incredible show.

Wholeheartedly agree. Sepinwall has been my go to TV critic for years, guiding me to the small islands of TV greatness in a vast sea of “content”. Everyone should be reading him.

The Sting is one of my all-time favorite films and Robert Redford was a fantastic actor and director (Quiz Show is another favorite of mine). Will be greatly missed.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Am sure that at this moment there's a right wing media arms race to try and dig up any shred of evidence that Kirk's shooter was trans or an immigrant.

South Park taught a huge swath of my generation that it wasn't cool to care about anything. Nihilistic satire is useless and harmful, not only punching up, but also punching down. So, no, I'm not impressed they ripped on Trump. Am sure it will be trans people and immigrants in the future.
