same sadjkasndkja there was one specific character I played a few years ago who was basically pulled directly from Alexis down to me doing similar hand things, but if Alexis was a monsterhearts fae who loved Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals

![The main villain across Black Mirror is AI. At this moment in time and at the current pace AI is accelerating, how terrified are you of it?
Ying Yang. There’s two fronts that you’re looking at it. One is the professional end in front of the industry and what it means for creativity. And the other is, are we going to get terminated — is that happening? Do you know Ed Zitron?
I don’t think so.
You should look him up. He’s extremely cynical about LLMs [Large Language Models] and chatbots and stuff like this. He is convinced this is a massive bubble. There’s a lot of that thought going on at the moment that the LLM side of things is a kind of bubble that’s brewing — and how useful are they, really? For somebody who does a show that is worrying out loud a lot of the time about unforeseen consequences of amazing inventions, I can catastrophize with the best of them very quickly. And I can also, sort of think — I can see the value in these things if they’re used correctly as tools, basically. I can see the value in a tool creatively. I can see the value in a tool that a human being is deploying in that way. I can see the value in the tools in Photoshop. It’s when is when people go, “Oh, well, take your hands off the keyboard, walk away” — I don’t see who that’s for.
The thing that worries me about, like AI imagery — you feed the screenplay into it, and it pumps out a whole movie — is a smaller concern than: “Oh God. Society will crumble because we’ll just be flooded with misinformation.” That scares me more on a deeper animal level than the industry things. But the industry stuff worries me too. … I flip-flop between cautious optimism — or at least thinking — “Maybe this is just a big bubble and it’ll all go away,” and thinking, “Oh, we’re fucked.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreihhvdt7zukixvqvoryswtwjwufcxf5ra5rdbdpkzmyavafyv2hwbm)

This sounds wacky but it is backed up by science.

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.
I think Zohran is an early sign
a big part of the reaction to Trump 1 was “we need to go back to normal, we gotta nominate the most conventional people imaginable” which is how we got Biden
that comprehensively failed, and a lot more people are open to real alternatives this time around
wait, Ted Cruz arranged to be out of the country on the Fourth of July?
by this metric non-newsworthy stories can become newsworthy if they generate enough outrage for being not newsworthy. also by this metric you could print an uncensored human asshole on the front page of the New York Times.
