However, until they fully explain, they COULD perhaps be 100% using their own data, or even maybe supplementing with ethical models like firefly, Bria, moon valley? Which would be a big step forward for ethical AI, in my opinion. (Ie. Fully licensed) but wish they had made that clearer, if so.

The Variety article says that they filmed on a real stage to create a dataset… but doesn’t say that it’s the only training data. I’ve also seen comfy ui screenshots going around, relating to this company, with various models on them that are def not ethically trained. 🀷

@mattbelloni.bsky.social @kimmasters.bsky.social Any chance of a deep dive on affleck’s InterPositive, and whether it uses AI models trained on copyrighted works? It seems, from the tiny amount of info released, that it does, right?

Wonderful cast. I loved the performances and the style and the music. But it definitely could have done with some more development time, in the writing department :)

All streamers are like that. There’s hardly any new content on any of them. They do big pushes for their 4 or 5 shows a year and 4 or 5 movies, that’s it

It just doesn’t handle complex data (lots of keyframes) well for me. Never has, unfortunately. It means I have to first clean up mocap in maya - which means I may as well animate in maya lol

I’m really hoping they can β€œfix” the curves editor so that it doesn’t freeze so much. There must be workarounds that Fortnite people use, but I so often get freezes when selecting large numbers of curves - it should at least warn you or something!

It’s sad but I feel like a full-on β€œboycott cbs” movement isn’t far away. Especially if all the reporting about 60 Minutes β€œonly spouting the party line” from now on are true. I wish Ellison kept partisan stuff to cable / streaming - broadcast tv needs all the viewers it can get, to exist.

I really wish the Peacock app didn’t number repeats / classic episodes as part of the main season. It’s not good for viewer trust - makes us think it’s all a bit of a scam. :(

Exactly. I feel like there’s a lot of apathy. Not just about on air packaging but also when it comes to streamer UI that is broken and the companys know that and don’t change it. So many bugs and they don’t care. Peacock for example could get far more customer love if they fixed their awful app.

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.

@kimmasters.bsky.social @mattbelloni.bsky.social fantastic extra long banter on The Business this week! Hope you both are having a great weekend :)

@kimmasters.bsky.social On the business, loved the megabanter! When you were discussing how each media company has paid the orange man, imagine Comcast were very glad you didn’t mention the ballroom contributions πŸ˜‚

@tvmojoe.bsky.social Have you ever thought of making tik toks, with your voiceover and clips/photos of shows? Would be really popular I think.

I’m guessing it’s just an error in the database rather than AI - I’ve seen many many errors over the years, long before AI :) :)

@mcuban.bsky.social I know your focus is healthcare, but re: housing: do you think it will ever be possible to make non-human (individual) ownership of single family homes illegal? So many corporate and investors driving prices up. To me, housing and healthcare shouldn’t be for profit.

I like it (I’ve driven to the bakery and had it a couple times!) but honestly I’m a simple soul and enjoy the Porto’s tres de leche cake more, plus it’s less than $10 lol

I really wish Robert Reich and others would meet with Mark Cuban and have some proper conversations and use Cuban’s healthcare knowledge to come up with some solutions. We liberals love applying β€œpurity tests” to everyone on social media, and it’s fucking exhausting. Oh no! Cuban isn’t perfect! Ugh

Why aren’t there any β€œgood” billionaires in this AI race? There are a few I’d trust, but they are NOWHERE near this stuff. It’s a pity. Our media and tech is controlled by people who don’t give a crap about humanity.

I never want to hear another American make fun of North Korea ever again.

Sometime in the past quarter century all of these press conferences ( devastating crimes, terrorist attacks, natural disasters) have morphed into a series of Golden Globes acceptance speeches without any orchestra to get people to wrap it up.

Matt I have to take an international flight tonight and found out today there’s no Internet. 15 hours on that plane! So I hope you know that the Monday pod will sustain me for at least one of those hours ;) @lucasshaw.bsky.social

@kimmasters.bsky.social hope you’re feeling better Kim! Missed you on the business :) also (separately) I think you should have a regular β€œday” on The Town, like Lucas has. @mattbelloni.bsky.social we need more Kim! :) (I know that’s not practical because you’re so busy but nice idea lol)

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

It certainly seems like the previous comments were that he was going to move towards something that is β€œconsumer friendly” meaning a two week window. But now it seems like they are walking that back? But maybe not. Confusing.
