To be honest, this isn't an AI problem, but a content moderation and labor force ethics problem. You can swap out AI with social media and you'll find the same amount of psychological harm to moderators.
Thank you for clarifying!

So weird! And why AIDS? Seems a little bit alarmist.
[Repost Given SAG Strike] Inside Amazon Studios: Big Swings Hampered by Confusion and Frustration
Despite ambitious bets like 'Daisy Jones & The Six' and the upcoming 'Citadel,' insiders complain that there’s still "no vision for what an Amazon Prime show is." But chief Jen Salke says they are missing the point: "You don’t reverse-engineer true creative vision."
I figured this article, written by the brilliant Kim Masters, is worth a read agian given the incoming SAG-AFTRA Strike
I think all deaths, but I’m not sure. I’m not a realtor! :)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but here in California you don’t have to report if someone died in your house after a certain period of time. The only exception, I’m told by my realtor, is if the deceased were a minor.
As long as it doesn’t affect my ability to resell, doesn’t bother me at all.
It takes time. I’m ten years into my career as a cinematographer and I still feel like I haven’t achieved “it” yet.
I’m sooooo disappointed, but also sooooo not surprised.
Legally, Biden did have weak legal ground, but also legally then the decision shouldn’t have been allowed because the states who sued had, with unanimous decision by the Supreme Court, no legal ground at all.
NPR reports that the Biden admin will have a response and plan announced soon.

I don’t understand, as in it slows down?
It was his last update before changing leadership. IDK what the status will be after that.
Just tried Limbo, though, and loving it!
Thank you! Bookmarking right now.
Mlem is no longer on testflight, they just announced a change in leadership, so hopefully it continues with development. Seems like it will, given their announcement: https://beehaw.org/post/693759
In the years after the undisclosed trip to Alaska, Republican megadonor Paul Singer’s hedge fund has repeatedly had business before the Supreme Court. Alito has never recused himself.
In early July 2008, Samuel Alito stood on a riverbank in a remote corner of Alaska. The Supreme Court justice was on vacation at a luxury fishing lodge that charged more than $1,000 a day, and after catching a king salmon nearly the size of his leg, Alito posed for a picture. To his left, a man stood beaming: Paul Singer, a hedge fund billionaire who has repeatedly asked the Supreme Court to rule in his favor in high-stakes business disputes.
Singer was more than a fellow angler. He flew Alito to Alaska on a private jet. If the justice chartered the plane himself, the cost could have exceeded $100,000 one way.

Best Prequels?
I'm shooting a movie currently and after a conversation with my director we realized that we couldn't think of a single prequel that we liked. However, we both agreed that there has to be at least one.
What do you think? Are there any good prequels?
The first thing that came to mind, after the fact, was The House of the Dragon the Game of Thrones prequel.
