Check out the steaming pile of AI garbage that just won $1,000 first prize in the Ohio State Fair poster contest. It's especially tragic since the 5th place, drawn by an actual human, is great. Rooster (OH fair has biggest poultry show in US) riding the "butter cow" (exactly what it sounds like).

Bullying works! And so does good journalism. Keep it up.

It’s a crowded genre, but this is one of the worst/dumbest “what product can we recklessly cram genAI into to justify its existence to investors as we hemorrhage money” I’ve seen in a minute.

Two more reasons the 1950s were fun: bike motors and loud toy grenades. That Whizzer is super cool , but it’s a hundred bucks and I’m very sure you could buy an actual used motorcycle for less than that because my dad had an Indian in high school. Those hand grenades sell themselves 💣 #VintageAds

After my parents were visiting set for the first time, I asked my dad what he thought. He said “I didnt realize, it’s like you’re building a house, and once an hour good looking people run in and put on a play for five minutes. Then they leave and you go back to construction.”
Alvaro M. BedoyaPeople think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall.
